Bamboo Bread Basket

Meticulously handcrafted by bamboo craft artist Kei Nakamura in Oita, this Bread Basket is both a stunning decorative piece and a practical storage solution. The rectangular, horizontally handled bamboo basket can be used as a shopping basket at a bakery or as a decorative storage basket on your tabletop. It’s perfect for storing a loaf of bread or a baguette.

The transparent Yotsume weaving technique provides a light and airy feel, while the sturdy handles that connect to the base and the thick decorative bamboo rods offer strength and highlight the natural charm of the bamboo material.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Originally from Tochigi, Kei Nakamura studied bamboo craft in Beppu, Oita, known for its traditional bamboo artistry. After mastering the traditional woven bamboo crafting, he was charmed by the idea of "unwoven baskets" and started crafting his unique style of bamboo craft that is not actually "woven". After an apprenticeship under a master artisan, Kei established his own studio in 2022. Since then, he has received several accolades, including the Grand Prix for the Japan Cultural Award. His creations aim to convey the beauty of bamboo in every piece.
