About the Item

An exceptional 19th-century Japanese ikebana basket, masterfully woven with bold, sweeping bands of smoked bamboo. Its organic form exudes rustic elegance, further emphasized by the sculptural natural branch handle—a rare feature that enhances both its visual dynamism and wabi-sabi spirit. This basket embodies the informal Japanese aesthetic, favoring asymmetry and natural irregularities over perfection. The deep patina and tactile richness are testaments to its age and use. A striking example of traditional craftsmanship with a strong sculptural presence, ideal for display or floral arrangement.
