Spiral Basket in Earth & Night Tones - Circle of Motion & Memory – Enkito e Enkai (Step of Illumination).

More than a basket—this is a woven invocation of movement, mapping, and ancestral breath.

Introducing the Enkito e Enkai Circle of Motion & Memory: a handcrafted circular basket featuring a spiral pattern in deep blue, black, brown, and natural straw tones. Each segment pulses with rhythm, echoing the cycles of ceremony and the geometry of tradition. Placed on stone, it becomes both vessel and signal—grounded in earth, yet reaching outward in chant.
