Basket - Unique Flower Basket 小舟 Boat " 高瀬船 Takasebune ", Bamboo - Okimono object

Unique Boat Flower Basket
This is a Takase-bune, a small riverboat used in Japan since the Edo period.
These boats, small enough for one or two people, had sleeping quarters under a roof.

This unusual piece transforms this boat into a flower basket.
When filled with flowers, it makes an impressive flower basket.

When not in use, it can simply be displayed as an ornament.

This flower basket is made from bamboo, a traditional Japanese tool for flower arranging.
It is crafted from carefully woven bamboo mesh.
