AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description:
This is an elegant Japanese bamboo flower basket featuring exquisite ajiro (wickerwork) weaving technique.
The basket showcases traditional Japanese basketry craftsmanship with its distinctive diagonal woven pattern, creating a refined geometric texture that is both visually striking and structurally sound.
The basket features a gracefully curved handle and a well-proportioned body that exemplifies the artisan's skill in bamboo craft.
The ajiro weaving technique, characterized by its diagonal lattice pattern, is a hallmark of Japanese bamboo artistry that requires considerable expertise to execute properly.
The natural aging of the bamboo has created a warm, mellow patina that enhances its aesthetic appeal.
Standing at 47.5 cm in height, this flower basket is perfectly sized for ikebana arrangements or as a decorative accent piece.
The open weave pattern allows for creative floral displays while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for practical use.
The craftsmanship evident in the consistent weaving and balanced proportions demonstrates the work of a skilled artisan.
This piece represents the refined aesthetic of Japanese bamboo craft, where functional objects are elevated to works of art through masterful technique and careful attention to form.
The basket comes from a private collection and displays the natural character that develops in bamboo works over time.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
