The body was constructed with a twill plaiting variation of a more relaxed and loose weave. The basket was woven with "sooted" bamboo (susutake in Japanese). This bamboo materials was collected from traditional thatched-roof houses that had been exposed to decades of smoke from a hearth or cooking fire, therefore the basket displays a deep rich patina that is hard to attain by color-lacquering. The free-hand mat plaiting technique was used. One bamboo chunk was incorporated into the front using irregular plaiting, adding a strong sense of rustic charm to the piece. Beautifully made and the size is rather impressive. less
