These pieces were created with the concept of extracting a single “pixel” from the Basket That Cannot Hold. The version with a single horizontal weave is called Yoko no Kago (Horizontal Basket), while the one without it is Tate no Kago (Vertical Basket).

​

They may not be highly practical, but they do retain the essential qualities of a basket. While small objects may slip through the gaps, they can still function as baskets for slightly larger items—each is sized to hold a single apple.

​

They also pair beautifully with KAKI’s brass insert to be used as a vase, and go well with air plants and other greenery.
