A set of three large, medium and small hexagonal bamboo baskets that you'll want to keep in a visible place. It's amazing how even things you would normally want to hide turn into interior décor when you put them in these baskets. This storage set has a Japanese atmosphere but doesn't feel old, and will fit in with your modern lifestyle.

This is Japanese life

A hexagonal bamboo basket that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as storing vegetables and fruits, holding tea utensils, and storing sweets. It is named after the large hexagonal mesh that is soft and sturdy. Taking advantage of the water-resistant and breathable properties of bamboo, this bamboo basket is also convenient for kitchen work such as draining and washing. The bottom has triangular "strength bamboo" that acts as reinforcement, so it is also recommended for storing small items such as stationery, tools, and sewing tools that are somewhat heavy.

The set of three hexagonal bamboo baskets comes in three sizes. They can also be nested when not in use. Seasonal fruits such as persimmons and mandarin oranges that are usually placed directly on a plate or table look more elegant and delicious when placed in a bamboo six-eye basket. This set of three bamboo six-eye baskets will remind you of the nostalgic days of Japanese life.

Learn about tools that are rooted in daily life

Even if they have the same purpose, they are made of different materials, with different shapes and weaves. Unlike expensive traditional crafts, basket products from all over Japan and the world give you a glimpse into the characteristics of the region, the rooted lifestyle, and even the personalities of the people. They have a warmth that is not found in the perfect plastic and stainless steel products made by modern automation, and each one retains the individuality of the material and traces of handwork as if it were a one-of-a-kind item. Since it is a natural material that requires a lot of effort to collect, we hope you will understand that small cracks, tears, and twists in the finished product do not affect its use as a tool, and enjoy the handwork.

Miyagi bamboo crafts, which are said to have started in the Edo period as a side job for samurai families, have been made from local bamboo that grows wild to create tools for daily life and for business use, but there are now only a few craftsmen left, making this a precious craft. It would be great if this opportunity to learn about the joy of continued use, which plastic products do not have, and about the craftsmen and the environment would be a delight for those involved.
