This beautiful Ikebana flower arranging basket just arrived on our recent shipment from Japan. It was made in the first half of the 20th century and is woven from variegated or striped bamboo. Some of the particularly nice features of this basket are the root handle that comes from the bamboo rhizome, the finely woven twining that makes up the body of the basket, the wider smoked bamboo strips that show off the multi-colored bamboo, and the original artist’s signature carved into the bottom. This basket is a hand woven masterpiece from early 1900’s Japan and has a wonderfully deep and warm patina.
We are thrilled to be featured with the inclusion of our Ikebana basket in The Scout Guide national article, “From Raffia To Rattan: Exploring the Beauty of Natural Materials.”
