Item Description This is an exquisite bamboo flower basket (hanakago) that exemplifies traditional Japanese bamboo craftsmanship. The basket features a carefully woven hexagonal weave pattern that showcases the natural beauty and flexibility of the bamboo material. The piece consists of two components: an outer decorative basket and an inner cylindrical holder designed to hold water and flower arrangements. The craftsmanship demonstrates skilled bamboo weaving techniques passed down through generations in Japan. The hexagonal pattern creates a visually striking geometric design while maintaining structural integrity. The natural finish of the bamboo preserves its organic beauty, allowing the material's inherent texture and color variations to shine through. This type of flower basket is traditionally used in ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) and serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The design allows for elegant display of seasonal flowers while the woven structure creates beautiful shadow patterns when light passes through. The portable handle makes it easy to hang or relocate as desired. The piece remains in excellent unused condition, having been carefully stored since acquisition. It represents an authentic example of Japanese bamboo artistry, suitable for both traditional tea ceremony settings and contemporary interior decoration.
