Cocoon Basket

Tadashi Yagisawa is a basketry meister in the lineage of bamboo artists in Kanto region.
He has his own studio with apprentices, but he is also regularly teaching at culture centers in Tokyo.
That's where I learned how to make this basket.
It looks random but actually carefully designed to form the structure with minimum number of thick bamboo sticks.
The base is formed with a few hexagonal patterns.
There is no binding at the rim. 
The material is woven into the body part.
