These woven bamboo coasters were made for Oita based Chikuen.
The stems of bamboo can be split into strips, and the strong threads intertwined. This is skilled work, for which Oita, in north-east Kyushu, is a particular centre.
Available in black and natural bamboo shades, the coasters provide a floral motif at the base of a cup.
Each coaster is around 12cm in diameter, and 3cm high. They weigh around 15g.
