Vintage Japanese Bamboo Basket - 1940s Showa Era (25D-149)
Vintage Japanese Bamboo Basket (SKU 25D-149)
Showa-era Japanese bamboo basket with sculptural angled form and integrated stand.
This vintage Japanese basket features a striking conical body, tightly woven in rich, dark-stained bamboo. Designed to rest at an angle on its own stand, it recalls traditional farm and foraging baskets while presenting as a refined object for the tokonoma or modern interior.
Two arched bamboo supports frame the vessel, echoing the rhythm of the diagonal weave and giving the piece a light, architectural presence. Whether used as an ikebana basket for sculptural flower arrangements or displayed empty as a piece of mingei folk craft, it brings an authentic Showa-period warmth and character to any space.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.
We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.
All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
