篮子 - 竹 - 日本手工编织 IKEBANA

Item Description
This is a tall, finely woven Japanese bamboo flower basket (hana-kago), traditionally used in tea ceremony and ikebana flower arrangement settings.

***Please note: photo 2 (the tea celemony room interior) in our photo set are AI-generated reference images created for atmosphere only, not photographs of the actual item.

The tapering, rounded body is woven in a two-tone diagonal lattice pattern using split bamboo strips, alternating between darkened and natural-toned bamboo to create a rich, textured surface.

The basket stands on four short bamboo feet and has a flat, woven base reinforced with a bamboo cross-strut for stability.

A tall, graceful arched bamboo handle rises from the rim, secured on each side with intricately knotted bamboo cord lashings — a hallmark of traditional Japanese basketry craftsmanship.

Dating from the 1980s, this basket carries the warm, aged patina typical of well-used bamboo work, and would make a striking display piece on its own or filled with an arrangement (using a separate water container/liner, called an "otoshi," as is traditional — not included).
