Large Japanese Bamboo Basket, Kagobakari, 1950s

Large handwoven Japanese basket made of bamboo and reed, with a beautiful wide, rounded shape and a strong artisanal character. Dimensions: height 41 cm, diameter 72 cm.

The basket is constructed with fine weaving and reinforced underneath with cross-laid bamboo slats, a detail that is not only functional but also adds visual rhythm and character.

Its warm tones, open structure, and clearly handmade finish make this a striking decorative object with real presence, while still feeling light and airy. Beautiful as a standalone piece in a room, but also very suitable for draping textiles, storing throws or cushions, or holding kindling beside the fireplace. It would also bring a natural accent to a shop, bathroom, or hallway.

The basket shows honest signs of age and slight irregularities consistent with its age and handmade nature. It is sturdy and functional, while also standing out as a sculptural interior piece with a calm, organic form.
