AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description:
This exquisite bamboo flower basket exemplifies traditional Japanese basketry craftsmanship with its distinctive cocoon-shaped (mayu-gata) design.
Expertly woven from natural bamboo, the piece showcases intricate weaving patterns that demonstrate skilled handiwork and attention to detail.
The elegant form rises from a stable base to create a gently rounded silhouette reminiscent of a silk cocoon, a classic shape in Japanese flower arranging traditions.
The basket features tightly woven bamboo strips that create a sturdy yet refined structure, allowing light to filter through the weave and create subtle shadow patterns.
The natural warm brown tones of the aged bamboo add organic beauty and warmth to any setting.
The opening at the top is perfectly proportioned for displaying seasonal branches, ikebana arrangements, or simple floral compositions.
This flower basket comes with a practical plastic water container insert (height 9 cm, diameter 7 cm) that sits within the basket, allowing fresh flowers to be displayed while protecting the bamboo structure from moisture.
This thoughtful design combines aesthetic beauty with functional practicality, characteristic of Japanese craft traditions.
The basket is ideal for use in tea ceremony settings, tokonoma alcoves, or as an elegant accent in contemporary interiors.
The cocoon shape is particularly prized in ikebana practice for its graceful proportions and versatility in accommodating various arrangement styles.
This piece represents the refined simplicity and natural beauty central to Japanese aesthetic philosophy.
