This is a basket made from the stems of bracken fern that grows wild in the northern part of Okinawa, Yanbaru, and other areas. I purchased it six years ago and have been admiring it. It is unused. The luster of the bracken fern stems is natural. It is so sturdy that it's said to be "100-year bracken," and is resistant to water and heat. Those who know about it are well aware of the quality of this bracken craft. As it is a natural product, the shape is not perfectly round, but it is lightweight at 320 grams, making it a basket that can be enjoyed for viewing or use. Please note that there are natural black spots. There are small scratches on the stems, but please understand. As it is handmade and uses natural stems, thank you for your understanding. The price has been reduced from 13,500 to 12,500. The price change is from the middle of the listing, thank you for your understanding.
