Japanese Ikebana Basket with Natural Wisteria Branch Handle
$11.7
$21.76
DescriptionA dynamic and organically expressive hanakago (flower basket) from Japan’s Meiji period. Featuring an open-weave body of split bamboo and a striking natural wisteria branch handle that curves dramatically across the basket and up into an arching form. This piece is a beautiful example of how Japanese bamboo artists integrated elements from nature directly into their work. The twisted, knotted wisteria branch—with its burls and natural irregularities—creates a strong contrast against the refined lattice body. The basket’s vibrant orange and black tones reflect the rich patina of age and hand-finished bamboo techniques. Unsigned, original conditionAge: Meiji period (1868 – 1912) circa 1910Dimensions: 20″ high x 11″ x 8″
