This basket is made from rice straw and designed based on the shape and craftsmanship of straw rice cooker containers, which are still used today as excellent tools, taking advantage of the breathability and heat retention properties of straw. It is tightly woven for a sturdy construction, and the handcrafted feel and warmth of the material give it a unique presence. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including storing bread and fruit, as well as cutlery and small items. The beauty of the design, woven with straight lines and curves, made entirely from straw, is also appealing.

A straw craft brand that is committed to using 100% domestic straw and is suited to modern life.
Straw crafts have been an essential part of Japanese life since ancient times. Using straw from rice, the staple food, people have made them into tools and decorations, and sometimes sacred objects, which they have grown to love, respect, and then returned to the earth. By designing straw crafts, which are filled with the wisdom and warmth of our ancestors, into products that fit into modern life, we hope to convey their appeal and the skills of their makers.
