【Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture】Hand-woven by artisans. A sturdy, extra-large bamboo basket to last a lifetime. ■ Artisan craftsmanship and the joy of nurturing This exquisite piece is hand-woven by skilled artisans in Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture, who split each bamboo stalk individually. The beautiful hexagonal "mutsume ami" weave has been a traditional form for a long time, also carrying the meaning of warding off evil. What is particularly noteworthy is the thick reinforcement applied to the bottom. It has the strength of a genuine tool, able to withstand heavy dishes and overflowing vegetables. As you use it, the refreshing bamboo color will change to a deep "amber" color. We hope you will enjoy the process of it gaining more character over 10, 20 years, as it becomes a part of your daily life. ■ Size (actual size) ・Outer diameter: Approximately 39.0cm ・Inner diameter: Approximately 31.5cm ・Height: Approximately 10.5cm ■ Product Details ・Origin: Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture (one-of-a-kind by artisans) ・Material: Natural bamboo ・Condition: Like new, in very beautiful condition.
