This is a hand-handled basket made of nemagari bamboo from Aomori Prefecture. I received it from an acquaintance this year. It's a smaller version of an apple basket and is very cute. 【Size】 Approximately 24cm x approximately 15.5cm x height approximately 10cm (excluding handle) Height including handle: approximately 20cm 【Maker】 Tsukasa Mikami Aomori Prefecture Traditional Craftsman.
