Description from the seller
Item Description
A Japanese bamboo flower basket (hanakago) for ikebana and the tea ceremony, in a tall, squared form. The body tapers gently towards the base and is woven in a fine herringbone pattern (ajiro-ami), then finished in a glossy black lacquer-type coating over a red ground, with the red showing through at the ridges of the weave. A tall arched handle rises above the rim, decorated with knotted, bamboo-node-like joints, and braided strands support it at the mouth. The underside is reinforced with crossed strips.
The basket comes with its metal water container (otoshi), which has a square lower body that fits the basket and a round copper-coloured mouth for the flowers, so it is ready for fresh flowers. It suits tea-room and ikebana displays, or works beautifully as a decorative object on its own.
Image 4 is an AI-generated styling example only; flowers are not included.
Dimensions: height approx. 39.5 cm (including handle), width approx. 14 cm, depth approx. 11.5 cm.
Weight: approx. 364 g.
Condition: The coating and weave are intact, with light wear and a patina consistent with age; the metal water container shows some discolouration. Please refer to the photographs for details.
Artist Profile:
Maker unknown; no signature or wooden box.
