DescriptionJapanese ikebana (flower basket) from the early Showa period (c. 1920–1940), featuring an elegantly arched handle and an open hexagonal weave body. Raised on four integrated bamboo feet, this square-based basket displays remarkable craftsmanship with its rhythmic vertical split bamboo weave and gentle natural patina.The basket’s slender, airy construction allows light to pass through its latticework, emphasizing negative space—a key principle in Japanese aesthetics. The twisted bamboo handle and side supports are tightly bound and structurally sound, adding both form and strength to the overall silhouette.Traditionally used in ikebana, this piece reflects a quiet harmony between form and function, embracing nature’s materials with artistry and grace.
