DescriptionA Japanese hanakago (flower basket), featuring vertical bamboo supports interwoven with thick horizontal bands of sakura-gawa (cherry bark). The natural wood handle is left in its original, organic form, winding upward with irregular curves and visible knots—an intentional nod to shizen (naturalness) in Japanese aesthetics.The basket’s structure showcases a rare combination of materials and techniques. The soft, textured cherry bark contrasts with the firm bamboo frame, creating a sense of rhythm and visual depth. A slender vine wraps around the body, reinforcing the natural theme and adding subtle movement.Age: Early Taisho period Circa 1920’sDimensions: 16″ high x 10 1/2″ diameter
