AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A compact Japanese flower basket (hanakago) for ikebana, woven in open midare-ami (乱れ編み, irregular plait) from dark-stained split bamboo. Bulbous body on a woven foot, arched handle of a thicker culm, both seats bound with dark metal wire.
One body strip carries a carved three-character mark ending in sai (斎), probably "Takefukusai". The original seller listed this as Edo era, but this might seem a bit far fetched so I am listing this as Taisho era. Some of the wire might have been replaced.
The Hanakago is about 18 cm high and has a depth of approximately 18 cm.
