Bamboo Basketry
Churachandpur, ChurachandpurMade by Green Bamboo Crafts
About this piece
Tightly woven bamboo baskets and winnowing trays, the everyday containers of a Manipuri kitchen, made to last decades rather than seasons.
The tradition
How it is made, and why it looks like this
Bamboo is split, shaved and soaked before weaving, and the weave tightens as it dries. The same techniques produce fish traps, grain stores and the conical carrying baskets seen on hill paths.
