Kyushu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile white bamboo crafts—made by heating, boiling, or sun-drying freshly cut green bamboo to remove its oils and color—are well-known, this basket is made from

process creates a more uniform and refined color throughout the basket, enhancing its visual harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the color of the bamboo also deepens more richly than that
