These home organization tools are created using the traditional ikkanbari method, where woven bamboo is covered in washi paper. Originally, ikkanbari was created in the Edo period as tableware used for traveling, taking the forms of traditional ceramics but with just a fraction of the weight. Its use cases quickly expanded as the design possibilities were limited only by the imagination of the maker. We've partnered with bamboo craftspeople and a washi artist to make a series of practical home pieces that make organization a little more charming. The overlap of washi paper and the convenient sizes make these pieces easy to incorporate into daily life. All baskets are handwoven with bamboo and handcoated with washi and paint, giving each one an organic dynamic and shape. See our other styles and colorways in the Ikkanbari Collection.
