品目説明
この exquisitely 不要? wait: must translate. The word exquisite in Japanese would be 「極上の」 or 「華麗なる」. Keep formal. Let's craft.


Item Description
This exquisite flower basket (hanakago) is a superb example of Hida Shunkei (飛騨春慶) lacquered bamboo craft, one of Japan's officially designated Traditional Crafts since 1975, produced in the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture. The piece showcases a sophisticated double-layer open weave (sukashi-ami) technique that creates striking visual depth through the interplay of its inner and outer woven shells.
The basket is hand-woven entirely in thin, flat bamboo strips (higo) finished with deep black lacquer applied over a vivid crimson-red base — a hallmark two-tone lacquer technique (nuri-wake) in which the red undercoat glows through the interstices of the outer black lattice, producing a dynamic, almost three-dimensional surface that shifts dramatically as light catches the weave from different angles.
The globular body swells from a wide, flat base and narrows gracefully to a cylindrical lacquered neck opening. Three distinct weave patterns are employed: a fine diamond lattice (hishi-ami) on the outer shell, a bold diagonal herringbone (yamagata) weave on the inner layer, and a tightly braided edge cord (tama-fuchi) neatly finishing the rim. The interior reveals a smooth, glossy black-lacquered inner vessel designed to hold water and flowers.
Hida Shunkei lacquerware is celebrated throughout Japan for its transparent lacquer technique, which enhances rather than conceals the natural beauty of the underlying material. This basket stands as a compelling display object that bridges functional craft and sculptural art, equally suited as a standalone decorative piece or as a vase for ikebana flower arrangement.

Condition
This piece is in very good condition overall, with the lacquer surface retaining its deep gloss and both black and red tones remaining vivid; minor surface micro-scratches consistent with careful storage may be visible under close inspection but do not detract from the work's beauty.
