This beautifully crafted Japanese vintage basket features a traditional open hexagonal weave made from split bamboo, showcasing both durability and artistry. Likely dating back to the mid-20th century, the basket exemplifies skilled craftsmanship with its intricate star-pattern lattice sides and thick braided rim. Originally used for drying or carrying vegetables and household items, its elongated oval shape and low profile make it ideal for decorative display or functional storage in a contemporary setting. The natural patina and variations in the bamboo tone highlight its age and authenticity, adding rustic charm to any interior.
