Vintage Japanese Flower Basket — Bamboo, 1980, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-362)
Vintage Japanese Ikebana Basket — 1980s, Showa Era
An Organic Crown for Seasonal Blooms
With its spiraling, starburst-like design, this Japanese flower basket from the late Showa period is a celebration of kinetic elegance. Thin bamboo splints weave outward in graceful diagonals, forming a rounded body that feels at once structured and free. The integrated crown-shaped handle adds sculptural flair while maintaining practical function.
Paired with an internal bamboo cup, this basket is ideal for contemporary or classic ikebana arrangements. Its dynamic shape brings flow and balance to both flowers and empty space—a meditative anchor for any room.
