About the Item

A Japanese woven bamboo basket with handle from early 20th century, circa end of Meiji to Taisho period. The basket was constructed in the form of a morikago. a shallow and open basket with handle. Traditionally, a morikago was used to display fruits, and sometimes flowers during Sencha tea ceremony. In contrast to Chanoyu, Sencha ceremony uses loose green tea leaves instead of tea powder. A morikago tends to have a nice pattern on the bottom that was meant to be visible through the display of fruits or flowers. The basket has a lovely form that reminds one the shape of a monk's alms bowl but only more shallow. It was constructed with twill plaiting with openings that allow the light through, which makes the basket appear light. The tall handles were converged from four prongs from the rims and were tied together with swirling knots The bottom of the basket features a diamond pattern. There is a groove around the base ring that was artistically created to give the basket its distinctive bowl shape and volume viewing from the side. The work is not signed, but its harmonious proportion and meticulous execution shows off a high level of artistry.

Japanese Bamboo Basket Ikebana Suzuki Gengensai

By Suzuki Gengensai

Located in Atlanta, GA

An elegantly woven bamboo basket with handle as an ikenana container by Suzuki Gengensai (1891-1950) circa 1923-50. Suzuki Gengensai was from Kansai region and active in Osaka. He studied bamboo art under Yamashita Kochikusai (1876-1947) and became an independent artist in 1913. He received his artist name Gengensai in 1914 and in 1923 he changed the characters to Gen, a slight written variation of the character. This basket was signed in this later variation, which helps to date the piece to post 1923. The basket is woven entirely in a free style irregular plating on the body and with a twisted bundled handle. The surface is lacquered in a deep reddish color. The seemingly less rigid technique renders the piece a more rustic and natural aesthetic that is more suitable for certain occasions. It is singed on the base with artist's signature in the variation post 1923. A very similar basket of the irregular weaving but without the handle is illustrated in plate 72 in "Baskets Masterpieces of Japanese Bamboo Art...
