Japan Made Ikkan-bari Storage Basket: Red Washi & Gobelin Flower

I create my works based on the traditional Japanese craft of "Ikkan-bari." This technique involves applying layers of white Washi paper over a basket base, decorating it with colored paper or fabric, and finishing it with natural persimmon tannin or water-based varnish for durability. While many traditional pieces use vintage rags or paper, I utilize more contemporary materials to fit modern daily life. This piece features two types of red Washi paper arranged in an alternating, irregular stripe pattern. The interior is meticulously layered with brown "Sukashi" (watermarked) Washi over randomly placed base paper. The bottom is finished with a vibrant blue Washi paper. To protect your delicate belongings, I have included a free cloth drawstring bag for your peace of mind.
