Handcrafted Japanese Bamboo 生花Ikebana Flower Baskets – Set of 3 – 竹籠Takekago with Bamboo Inserts – Vintage 昭和Showa Period Shipping method: DHL Express Item Description A beautiful set of three handcrafted Japanese bamboo flower baskets, traditionally designed for displaying flowers and seasonal plant arrangements. Each basket features a distinctive form and weaving pattern, demonstrating the versatility and decorative beauty of Japanese bamboo craftsmanship. The openwork construction creates an elegant interplay of light and shadow and allows the natural texture and warm brown tones of the bamboo to remain visible. The set consists of three different designs: a rounded basket with a tall arched handle, a low rounded basket with a dark cylindrical inner container, and a compact three-legged basket. Bamboo inserts are included, allowing flowers or branches to be arranged inside the baskets. These baskets can be used as traditional Japanese ikebana flower containers (hanakago / takekago) for displaying seasonal flowers, branches and grasses. They are also attractive as decorative objects in a Japanese, Wabi-Sabi or natural-style interior. As handcrafted bamboo objects, slight variations in the weave and surface are part of their individual character. Use: Ikebana flower arrangement, seasonal flower display, decorative flower basket, or interior decoration.
