About the Item
This lovely antique Japanese bamboo basket was from an unknown artist circa late Meiji Period (1868-1912), likely turn of the 20th century. It features a classic form that derived from the Chinese basket but with a decisively Japanese origin, with the use of natural burl wood branches as the handle. Lacquered in a dark brown, the basket was constructed with techniques alternating between mat plaiting on the upper body that morphed into a double wall with armor plaiting on the lower part. The base was done in a tight chrysanthemum plaiting.
The hand of this ikebana basket was composed of three pieces of wood branches with prominent burl knots and lacquered in a similar dark brown color, rendering the piece a naturally rustic and poetic appeal.

Japanese Bamboo Basket Ikebana by Abe Motoshi
