【World-Renowned Bamboo Craftsmanship】Exquisite Bamboo Basket Bag by Artist Masato Takae Thank you for viewing. This is a work by Masato Takae, a bamboo craftsman based in Oita Prefecture, who is active not only in Japan but also internationally in cities like Paris and Milan. The bottom of the bag is stamped with the mark of authenticity, **"雅" (Miyabi)**. This is a very rare and valuable piece that combines traditional techniques with a modern sensibility. ■ Product Condition & Features • Exceptional Technique: Constructed with precise "Ajiro-ami" (basket weave) with no imperfections. • Beautiful Material: Uses deep-toned smoked bamboo. The more you use it, the more luster it gains, making it a lifelong treasure. • Practicality: The inside is lined with a high-quality fabric drawstring pouch, which keeps the contents hidden and protects your precious belongings. Used only once. There are stains on the inner fabric due to long-term home storage. The handle is made of woven leather with a luxurious feel. Due to the nature of genuine leather, it has a slightly sticky (or slightly moist) texture when held. It's not sticky, but please be aware of this if you are concerned. Please check the condition in the images ^^ ■ Size (approx.) • Width: approx. 25cm • Height: approx. 22.5cm (excluding handle) • Depth: approx. 8.5cm ■ Uses Perfect for both Japanese attire such as kimonos and yukata, and its sophisticated design also goes well with Western clothing. How about it as a "lifetime" bag to elevate your everyday life? 【About Shipping】 As this is a valuable craft item, it will be carefully protected with cushioning material to prevent deformation and shipped in a cardboard box.
