This is a folk craft made from Suzutake bamboo in the Torigoe area of Ichinohe Town, Iwate Prefecture. It is a large flower basket with a large handle. This is a very rare item as Torigoe bamboo work. For reference, I have placed a cup next to it to show the size (Photo 2). It is an unused item that has been stored. The bamboo has a nice yellowish color. The entire basket is made with a large-mesh weave, giving it a stylish look. The tall handle is also made of Suzutake bamboo. Three split bamboo pieces are inserted into the bottom to provide strength. The number of bamboo craftsmen in Torigoe is decreasing year by year. I believe there are few people who make flower baskets like this. It is a flower basket. You can also use it to store small items. It is also stylish to display in your room. We would appreciate it if those who like bamboo crafts and fans of Torigoe bamboo work would consider purchasing it. [Size] Basket opening: Approximately 11 x 13 cm Basket body width: Approximately 20 cm Height to the top of the handle: Approximately 41 cm
