Imaita area, which is a next hamlet of our area, Deyu,
is famous for a handcraft.
Bamboo baskets! Take Kago in Japanese.
(Take=bamboo, Kago=basket)
They are so convenient and very useful.
I love these traditional handcrafts.
The big basket showed below has been used over
20 years. The more you use, the more it becomes
beautiful in colours.
The name of this basked is"Yumeji Kago"
Yumeji is a name of an famous illustlater
in an older time(Taisho period, back to
some 100 years ago) in Japan. He stayed in
Deyu spa for a certain time.
