Antique Japanese Flower Basket in Boat Shape — 1920s, Taisho Era
A Striking Example of Woven Elegance and Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship

This antique Japanese flower basket, crafted during the Taisho Era (circa 1920), showcases the timeless artistry of traditional bamboo weaving in a rare and graceful boat-shaped form. Meticulously handwoven using natural bamboo strips, this piece features intricate lattice work, elegantly curved lines, and a sculptural handle that rises like a mast — evoking a poetic sense of movement and purpose.

Originally designed for ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging), this basket serves beautifully today as a decorative centerpiece, art sculpture, or collector’s statement piece. The aged bamboo exhibits a warm, deep patina that only time can create, adding historical depth to its refined construction.
