A traditional craft

This is a traditional Taiwanese bamboo product, called the “blessing basket”.  In the old times, when people are getting married, they will make many blessing baskets and put fresh fruit and gifts in it.  Then, they will bring the basket around the town and give out the fruit and gifts to the neighbors. It is a symbol of sharing their joy and happiness.

The blessing baskets are in three different sizes.  The large one is usually used on the wedding day.  The medium one is used on the day of making a proposal.  And the small one is for the cigarettes and treats to share with guests after the wedding feast.
