Item Description This exquisite Japanese bamboo flower basket (hanakago) is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese bamboo weaving craftsmanship. The basket features a dramatically sculptural, globe-like open-work body formed through a dynamic interplay of bold sweeping bamboo arches that cross and curve over the rounded woven base — a design known as torikago-ami (birdcage weave) combined with herringbone plaiting at the lower body. The natural honey-gold bamboo strips catch light beautifully through the open lattice, creating an interplay of shadow and warmth. Four elegant, flat-fanned bamboo arms rise from the body and converge at a neatly wrapped central apex, forming the distinctive crossed-handle structure that is a hallmark of refined Japanese ikebana flower basket design. The handle junction is meticulously bound with pale bamboo cord in a tight, even wrap — a detail that speaks to the skill of the craftsperson. Included is a removable black cylindrical inner liner (otoshi), which holds water and allows fresh-cut flowers to be arranged directly within the basket. Together, the basket and liner form a complete and functional hanaire (flower vase) ready for ikebana or casual floral display. This piece is in pristine, unused condition — an ideal choice for collectors of Japanese craft, ikebana practitioners, or those seeking a statement decorative object with authentic Japanese aesthetic sensibility. Size Height: 16 cm Width: 19.5 cm Depth: 20 cm Weight 157 g Condition Both the bamboo basket and the black inner liner are in pristine, unused condition with no scratches, stains, or defects of any kind.
