AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking sculptural Japanese bamboo flower basket inspired by the organic form of a wasp nest.
This piece is skillfully handcrafted from finely split bamboo strips, intricately layered and interwoven to create a bold, three-dimensional structure.
The dynamic overlapping lines and natural patina give the basket a powerful yet refined presence, blurring the boundary between functional ikebana vessel and contemporary bamboo art.
A removable inner container allows it to be used as a flower vase, while the basket itself stands as an impressive sculptural object even without flowers.
This work reflects the Japanese aesthetic of harmony between nature and craftsmanship, making it highly suitable for collectors of bamboo art, ikebana practitioners, or as a distinctive interior object.
Estimated period: ca. 1970–1990 (Showa to early Heisei)
Origin: Japan
Material: Bamboo
Dimensions (approx.):
Height: 21 cm
Width: 12.5 cm
Depth: 12.5 cm
Weight: 134 g
Will be carefully packaged for international shipping.
