Description

This vintage Japanese harvest basket, handwoven in the 1980s, reflects the enduring beauty of traditional rural craftsmanship. Made from split bamboo, the basket features an open-weave construction designed for breathability and strength—perfect for carrying vegetables, rice stalks, or other field crops during the harvest season.

Its tapered shape, reinforced rim, and side support bindings highlight the balance of form and function found in everyday Japanese farm tools. These baskets were commonly used in small-scale, family-run farms throughout Japan well into the late Shōwa period, where hand labor remained deeply rooted in agricultural life.

Now appreciated for their rustic aesthetic and organic materials, vintage harvest baskets like this make striking wall decor, storage containers, or sculptural accents in both modern and traditional interiors.
