Bamboo Bento Basket S

This bamboo bento basket is woven by hand in Kyoto Prefecture in intricate ajiro weave (netting plaiting) using thin bamboo strips. The square-shaped bento box is versatile and the ideal size for carrying sandwiches or onigiri (rice balls) to a picnic. Additionally, it can be coordinated alongside tableware, functioning as a basket to hold bread or smaller vessels. It can also be used in other ways, for example as a sewing box, a container to organize small accessories, or as an interior decoration.
