About the Item

A beautiful example of Japanese craftsmanship, this Ikebana bamboo basket dates to the 20th century and showcases a finely woven structure with graceful proportions and elegant vertical form. Traditionally used in Ikebana—the Japanese art of flower arrangement—such baskets combine both function and aesthetic harmony, echoing the natural materials they are designed to hold. This piece is skillfully handwoven using thin strips of bamboo, with a balanced form and expressive patination developed over years of use and age. The natural color variations and surface wear add warmth and character, aligning with the wabi-sabi philosophy of beauty in imperfection and time. Whether used as a display object, a vessel for seasonal arrangements, or as a sculptural accent, this basket brings a quiet sophistication to any space. Dimensions: Width: 25 cm (9.8 in) Height: 45 cm (17.7 in) Weight: 822 g (1.8 lbs) Origin: Japan Period: 20th century Material: Bamboo Condition: Good vintage condition with some minor abrasions due to age; beautiful natural patina as seen in the photos.
