Antique Bamboo Basket Suzutake Takekōri Case Vintage Antique Mingei Folk Craft This is a carefully woven suzutake bamboo basket made in the traditional way. It has developed a beautiful patina over time. Although it is old, it blends well with modern living and is a comforting tool for a peaceful life. This is a rare, shallow, low-profile size. Such large shallow baskets are uncommon these days and are no longer produced or sold. We hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it, as it will only become more valuable.
