Description

Vintage Japanese Ikebana Flower kago Basket (SKU 25D-307-2)

Showa-era kago for refined ikebana display

A beautifully rounded vintage Japanese flower basket, this handwoven hanakago features a warm reddish-brown patina that speaks to careful use and age. The body is tightly worked in a rhythmic, angled weave that catches the light, while the rim is finished with multiple wrapped bands for strength and visual balance.

The sturdy, twisted handle rises in an elegant arc, giving the piece a sculptural presence ideal for ikebana or as a stand-alone object in a tokonoma alcove. The finely patterned base, radiating from a central star, reveals the maker’s precision and makes this a classic example of Showa-period bamboo craftsmanship.

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.
