Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $1200**

East Asia, Japan, Meiji period, ca. 19th century CE. A wonderful ikebana hanakago or flower basket woven from strips of sooted bamboo, known as susutake, in the form of a double gourd and placed on a wisteria stand. Boasting rich hues of mocha and caramel, the vessel features 2 bulbous chambers, the larger and lower of which displays an opening that allows for a cylindrical insert to hold water and flowers. Several sections of gnarled wisteria root wood, secured to the basket with bamboo ties, form a stand while branching up and around the rear of the double gourd. Three main types of plaiting methods were used to produce this hand-split bamboo object: irregular plaiting ("midare ami") in the larger section containing the opening; mat plaiting ("gozame ami") in the constricted neck of the double gourd form; and pine-needle plaiting ("matsuba ami") in the most petite section. Size: 22.75" L x 14" W x 24" H (57.8 cm x 35.6 cm x 61 cm)

Bamboo baskets of this kind were used to display seasonal floral arrangements, often in connection with Japanese tea ceremonies. They would have been placed within an alcove space beneath a painting or calligraphy scroll that was appropriate for the season.
