Description

Antique Japanese Flower Basket — 1880s, Meiji Era (SKU: 25M-523)

An Embrace of Air and Form

This airy and expressive flower basket from the Meiji period reveals a different side of traditional Japanese bamboo artistry. The open weave feels sculptural and spontaneous, as if mimicking the fluidity of wind or water. Though light in design, it’s anchored by sturdy handles and deliberate form — likely once used in traditional tea ceremonies or seasonal ikebana displays.

A small bamboo cup rests nestled at its core, ideal for holding a flower stem or seasonal sprig. The asymmetrical accents, including thicker bamboo pegs and twisted cords, add rhythm and character, creating a dynamic dance of texture and line. This is a basket not just for use, but for contemplation.
