Materials created from the coexistence of man and nature
Bamboo grows mostly in Asia, with many types of bamboo growing especially in Japan and China. In Japan, Kagoshima has the largest area of bamboo groves in Japan, and since it matures in one year, even if it is cut down, new bamboo will soon grow the following year, making it a sustainable natural material. In addition, the quality of the bamboo itself deteriorates if it is not taken care of, so cutting an appropriate amount of bamboo helps to protect the quality of the bamboo. In order for the beautiful bamboo groves and products to continue to exist, it is important to take care of the bamboo groves, use bamboo products, and pass them on from generation to generation.
The beauty of handwork
Shinodake is a thin bamboo with a diameter of 1 to 2 cm that grows naturally in mountainous areas. It is said to be one of the representative thin bamboos of eastern Japan, along with suzu bamboo and nemagari bamboo. Because of its flexibility and elasticity, it has long been used as a material for everyday tools. The wickerwork that is applied to the sandwich basket is a traditional weave that has been used for many household goods such as ceilings and folding screens. If you use flat bamboo strips and weave them while shifting the stitches, they will be woven vertically and horizontally without any gaps, so it will be elastic and durable. The Shinodake sandwich basket has good ventilation, so even if you put freshly made hot rice balls in it, it won't be sticky. If you are concerned about juice leakage, it is safe to use wax paper on the floor.
As the name suggests, it can be used not only for sandwiches and lunch boxes, but also for sewing tools and small items. You can also remove the lid made of the same material and use both as a vessel. The compact square shape is easy to use, and you can enjoy it according to the person who uses it.
