Description

This is a collection of 8 vintage Japanese woven bamboo baskets, originally used as everyday folk craft (mingei) tools in households and farms. They are estimated to date from the mid-Showa period (circa 1950s-1970s). 

The set includes various shapes and weaving styles, such as a large shallow basket (zaru) for sorting and drying, deep round baskets for storage or transport, a vase-shaped basket, and two small handled baskets likely used for foraging or carrying small items. The dark brown deep basket features remnants of black ink writing or a seal on its side. 

Largest Basket Dimensions:
Height: 11.0 cm / 4.33 in
Width: 36.0 cm / 14.17 in
Depth: 34.0 cm / 13.38 in
Weight: Not provided

The items are in vintage condition, showing signs of heavy use and aging. There is a natural, dark patina from years of handling, along with surface wear, dirt, minor fraying, and occasional broken bamboo splints.
Please check the photos carefully for details.
