Good condition. Description: This bamboo basket vase is completely hand-constructed from bamboo, including the tall handle, and exemplifies refined Japanese basketry craftsmanship. The body is woven from darkened bamboo strips in a dense, herringbone-like pattern that expands gently at the shoulders before tapering toward the base, creating a softly rounded, sculptural profile. Subtle variations in color—from deep brown to warm reddish tones—reflect the natural aging of the bamboo and the effects of handling over time. The handle rises seamlessly from the rim, formed from slender bamboo members bent into a tall rectangular loop and tightly bound at the top with fine bamboo fiber. Its lightness and flexibility contrast with the visual density of the woven body, giving the overall form an elegant vertical lift while maintaining material unity. The craftsmanship of the handle shows careful control of tension and curvature, ensuring both strength and visual clarity. Inside the basket is a removable cylindrical bamboo liner, also made from bamboo rather than metal, designed to hold water for floral arrangements. This all-bamboo construction is especially valued, as it demonstrates technical sophistication and preserves a consistent aesthetic and material philosophy throughout the piece. Intended for use as a flower container for ikebana or chabana, the vase balances functionality with quiet expressiveness. Even when empty, it reads as a complete sculptural object, where form, texture, and proportion are allowed to speak without ornament. The piece embodies a restrained, contemplative beauty rooted in traditional Japanese bamboo artistry. NOTICE
