| Braided basketry refers to weaving that uses plant materials such as the bark of wild grapevines harvested in mountainous regions. Practiced as winter handiwork by farming families living in the mountains, it has produced everyday items such as baskets and sieves. It is characterized by the unique texture of natural materials and sturdy handwoven construction. There is no division of labor; each artisan works alone from gathering materials to completion, making it a craft cherished to this day. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The wild grapevines we use grow naturally deep in the mountains where harvesting is difficult, and these are luxury items woven from the extremely rare, purely domestic first-layer bark of wild grapevine. The bark of wild grapevine develops a richer sheen and shines beautifully the longer it is used. Carefully woven by artisans, these pieces can be used not just for one generation but passed down to your grandchildren. At 本家叶屋, we also offer many bags, wallets, geta clogs, and more made from wild grapevine.
Craftsmanship that lasts 100 years, shining more beautifully the longer it is cherished Unlike other materials, wild grapevine bark increases in luster over years of use and develops a deep, dark shine. If handled with care, it is a material that can last for 100 years, so it can be used across generations, even by your grandchildren. Since the underlayment of roofs in old houses often used this wild grapevine, its durability is high, and it has also been used as a material for hatchet sheaths and straw raincoats. |
