What is Suruga Bamboo Basketry?
Suruga Bamboo Basketry is a traditional bamboo craftArt that even today, despite its more than 400 years history, has an amazingly contemporary form and design due to its open, airy weave. Though many Japanese baskety crafts styles require flat bamboo strips, unique to Suruga basketry is the use instead of thin, rounded strips that bend to form the wavy, rounded curves and create the delicate airy look that define the style. In 1976, the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry, acknowledging the historical and cultural significance of Suruga Basketry, formally designated it as a National Traditional Craft of Japan.
Why is Suruga Bamboo Basketry so Special?

Using these fine strips the craftArtists then bends and carefully coaxes and encourages them into place to form the signature diamond spaces and create the breezy, airy form. The skill required to create such objects is not easily won and often takes the craftArtist many years of training - sometimes up to a decade or more - to acquire the skill.
