Material: Domestic wild grape vines Vine width: approx. 7mm


This basket bag features a traditional Japanese auspicious "tortoiseshell" pattern made from wild grape vines, which becomes more lustrous and softer with use, becoming more familiar to the wearer. Tortoiseshell patterns have long been considered auspicious, and this basket bag featuring vines (cranes) and turtles seems even more auspicious! The continuous pattern of squares creates a design that exudes strength and luxury. Its square size is just right for everyday use.

The material is made from wild grape vines that have endured the harsh winds and snow of Tohoku and that producers risk their lives to collect, so it is resistant to water and dryness, and even if it gets wet in the rain, it will return to its original shape just by drying it.

Furthermore, the vines of domestically grown wild grapes are so strong that they can be used for a long time while their flavor improves. Wild grape vines can be easily used for 50 years, making them truly a lifetime product that can be enjoyed by generations to come.

Reliable aftercare in case of an emergency!

This bag has a tag on the inside with the craftsman's name and serial number.

Looking at it, you can see in detail the process that went into making this bag.

The more wild grape vines are used, the more flexible they become and the more beautiful their luster becomes. It makes me happy when customers come to show me how much their bags have developed. We go into the mountains of Tohoku to collect the sturdy wild grapes that are unique to Japan, and then we make each bag carefully and with all our heart. We hope that customers will enjoy the amazing qualities of this genuine material.
