Japanese Hanakago Bamboo Ikebana Basket, 1950s

A remarkable Japanese hanakago (flower basket), entirely crafted from woven bamboo.

Dimensions: height 16 cm, diameter 16 cm.
In excellent condition.

The basket has a round base and an elegant, twisted handle that rises lightly and playfully. The weaving combines warm tones of bamboo, where light and dark strips alternate, creating depth and a vivid character.

Its dynamic, open structure forms a lively rhythm that feels both powerful and refined. The composition embodies the aesthetics of wabi-sabi: harmonious beauty found in simplicity, naturalness, and irregularity.

A decorative object with sculptural presence on its own, yet also perfect for holding a subtle ikebana flower arrangement.

A unique interior piece that unites the purity of Japanese craftsmanship and nature.
