This unique bag incorporates the traditional bamboo basket of Agano, Niigata Prefecture, into modern everyday goods. Following the passing of the craftsman who maintained the local Kobayashi Midori Bamboo Basket Shop, the idea for this product emerged so as to prevent a traditional technique from being forgotten. Jinchiku, a local species of bamboo growing in Mount Gozu, is used as the material. It is light, durable and flexible, and has anti-bacterial and odor-resistant properties, as well as extreme breathability. It is also an eco-friendly material that grows back quickly when cut. Bamboo baskets are said to last for 100 years, and the color of a young bamboo transforms to a richer, dark-reddish brown with use. The inner bags and leather straps, both offered in five different colors, are detachable from the woven basket frame, so users can enjoy choosing from 25 different color combinations. This is a product that is a splendid collaboration of tradition and modern culture.
