Antique Japanese Bamboo Flower Basket — 1880s, Meiji Era
A Rare and Expressive Masterwork of Woven Artistry from Japan’s Meiji Period

This stunning antique Japanese flower basket, handcrafted in the late 19th century during the Meiji Era, is a remarkable testament to the traditional bamboo weaving techniques revered in Japanese artisan culture. Boldly sculptural in form, this piece features an organic, freeform weave that captures the essence of nature in motion—fluid, wild, and deeply intentional.

Made entirely of finely split bamboo and twisted vine, the basket exhibits a rich, dark patina that has developed beautifully with age. The strong, arched handle is elegantly wrapped and knotted, enhancing the natural aesthetic while providing structural balance. Originally created for ikebana floral arrangements, it now serves equally as a statement piece in interiors that celebrate wabi-sabi, rustic minimalism, or Japanese tradition.
