IKEBANA BASKET
Japan, Meiji Period, 1868-1912
H 15.5” x W 9” x D 8.5”
A true sculptural masterpiece, this antique Japanese bamboo basket, created during the late Meiji Period, is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. Inspired by classic Chinese basketry, it bears a distinctively Japanese character with its use of natural roots as handles. Crafted from 'sooted' bamboo (susutake), harvested from traditional thatched-roof houses steeped in the essence of hearth and cooking fire smoke for decades, this basket boasts a rich, deep, and rare dark reddish-brown hue that transcends typical color lacquering. Intricately woven using alternating mat plaiting and pine needle plaiting techniques on the upper and lower sections, this basket houses a copper insert filled with wood.
A piece of history, the creator's signature in old Japanese characters graces the bottom. Elevate your decor with this exquisite Japanese artistry and history.
Condition - wear consistent with age.
