-DETAILS-
Using the bamboo strips plaited into a square-shape, you will weave 'Shikainamikago' basket. The four side walls of the basket will be woven with bamboo strips to create wave form. That is why the style of weaving is called "Four-ocean-wave basket." You can learn the history and the ideas of the bamboo fence.
The bottom part of the basket is already prepared so even a beginner can weave a nice bamboo basket easily. The finished basked is suitable for a vase, fruit basket or accessory box.
You can appreciate the bamboo fence made with a high level of skill equivalent to a Living National Treasure. There is a shop that displays and sells interior knickknacks. The bottle stand made of beautifully processed bamboo from Kyoto is especially popular.
