[Made in Japan] Wild Grapevine Fine Woven Handbag (Large) → https://www.taketora.co.jp/c/bag/ba00170 Walnut Round Woven Handbag (Checkered Pattern) → https://www.taketora.co.jp/c/bag/ba00158 Wild Grapevine and Walnut Handbags: Secrets Known Only to Skilled Craftsmen → https://www.taketora.co.jp/diary/2025... A domestically produced wild grapevine handbag and a walnut handbag, both cherished by a customer for 35 years, arrived at Taketora for repair. Both are clearly the result of meticulous weaving by skilled Japanese craftsmen. The continued use has created a magnificent patina. Domestic wild grapevine baskets are very durable and flexible, and develop even more depth with use. On the other hand, while walnut baskets are slightly less durable than wild grape baskets, their unique wood grain and woven pattern make them a popular natural material. Now, let's focus on this walnut tote bag. The joint between the handle and the main body, which is particularly prone to wear and tear, may seem simple, but it actually uses more durable wild grape. This demonstrates the ingenuity of craftsmen who deeply understand the properties of mountain materials, and reflects their dedication to enhancing the strength of the walnut basket and ensuring customer satisfaction. #WildGrapeBasket #WalnutBasket #WildGrapeBagRepair Subscribe here:    / taketora1894   Taketora (Taketora) - Specialist in Tiger Bamboo https://www.taketora.co.jp/ [30-Year Blog] Taketora's Fourth Generation! https://www.taketora.co.jp/diary/ [Taketora Instagram]   / taketora1894   [Taketora Official LINE] https://lin.ee/yivIEXD [Taketora Pinterest]   / taketora   [Taketora 4th Generation Twitter]   / taketora1894   [TAKETORA The company explanation] https://www.taketora.co.jp/c/special/... ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ ■Taketora 4th Generation (Yoshihiro Yamagishi) Profile The fourth generation of a long-established bamboo shop that has been in business since 1894 (Meiji 27).
