Japanese Legged Wooden Bucket Sushioke
This is a vintage Japanese shallow wooden bucket made for serving sushi. It is called sushioke, hangiri, or handai. Made of precisely cut wood pieces, it is firmly held together via tension by metal plates, twisted wires, or woven/braided bamboo called taga. This particular bucket uses three bands of woven bamboo. It sits up on three wide legs. While its main purpose is for serving food, this classic piece can also be used for general home or office decor.
