Tea-Dyed Bamboo Flower Basket in Shimokabura Form with Integrated Yakishime Ceramic Liner

This elegant Japanese bamboo flower basket is crafted in the traditional Shimokabura (turnip-shaped) form, a classic design admired in Japanese flower arrangement for its graceful curves and balanced proportions.

The basket is woven from tea-dyed bamboo, creating a warm, rich brown tone that beautifully highlights the natural texture of the material. The rounded body is complemented by an intricately braided handle and an openwork structure, demonstrating the craftsmanship of traditional Japanese bamboo weaving.

A yakishime (high-fired stoneware) ceramic liner is permanently integrated into the basket, making it both practical for displaying fresh flowers and visually harmonious as a single artistic piece. It is accompanied by its original wooden display board, allowing it to be appreciated either as a functional ikebana basket or as a decorative object.

Its understated elegance makes it suitable for tea ceremony settings, traditional Japanese interiors, or contemporary spaces where natural materials and handcrafted objects are appreciated.

A refined example of Japanese bamboo craftsmanship that combines functionality with timeless aesthetic appeal.

【Shipping & Tax】

Please note: Japan Post has temporarily suspended acceptance of parcels destined for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Portugal. As a result, shipments to these countries may need to be sent via DHL or another courier service. Because these alternatives are significantly more expensive than Japan Post, shipping rates for those destinations have been set higher accordingly.

Shipping will normally be carried out via Japan Post International Parcel or EMS, both of which include tracking and insurance where available.

Estimated delivery time is generally 1–3 weeks depending on the destination country, customs procedures, and the shipping service used.

Import duties, VAT, customs fees, and any other charges imposed by the destination country are the sole responsibility of the buyer.

For buyers located within the European Union, IOSS-related procedures will be handled through the Catawiki platform when applicable.

Please monitor the tracking information after dispatch. Customs authorities or the local postal service may contact you regarding import procedures or taxes. If they do, please respond promptly to avoid delays or the return of the parcel.

Please bid only if you understand and accept these shipping conditions.

If a parcel is returned due to non-response, refusal, or customs-related issues,
the buyer will be responsible for both return shipping costs and reshipping fees.


Thank you for your understanding.
