Ikebana 花瓶 - 木, 竹 - 日本
Nice ikebana flower basket 花籠 (hanakago) crafted from susutake 煤竹 (‘smoked bamboo’), showcases a curved double gourd, elegantly resting on a lacquered rustic branch base. The placement gives the impression that the gourds are growing from the branch.
The intricate bamboo weaving features thin strips in various plaits, creating a dense pattern with some broader lines in between. The warm brown patina enhances the beauty of the bamboo.
The gourd 瓢箪 (hyôtan), is rich in symbolism in Japan, and was a charm for longevity, (as it is extremely durable when dried), good fortune, and for being symbolic of fertility, since it has numerous seeds.
With red painted tin container.
Period: Japan – Mid-Shôwa period (Mid-20th century).
Approx. dimensions:
Height 31 cm, Width 40 cm, Depth 22 cm.
In a very good original condition with minor traces of age. Please look at the photos for a condition reference.
