Vintage Japanese Flower Basket — 1950s, Showa Era
A Delicate Web of Mid-Century Craftsmanship
This airy, rounded Japanese flower basket from the 1950s Showa era is a marvel of minimalism and finesse. Its fine open-weave lattice gently expands into a sculptural orb, crowned by a natural bamboo handle that retains its organic shape. The included bamboo liner supports fresh or dried arrangements while preserving the integrity of the form.
Despite its lightweight appearance, this basket is resilient—evidence of the careful hands that shaped it. Perfect for displaying single-stem florals or acting as an art object in its own right, it merges the structural with the poetic in a uniquely Japanese way.
