Vintage Japanese Ikebana Flower Basket, 1980s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-461-2)

Showa-era bamboo hanakago with sculptural openwork form and removable bamboo liner.

This vintage Japanese flower basket, or hanakago, showcases the refined latticework associated with late Showa-period bamboo craft. Finely split strips are woven into a rhythmic open mesh that swells into a soft, organic sphere, then tilts forward to present flowers in a relaxed, contemporary gesture while still rooted in the aesthetics of ikebana.

A small circular foot and integrated inner ring support the composition, while the separate cylindrical bamboo insert functions as a water container, allowing fresh arrangements without compromising the lightness of the weave. Displayed with seasonal branches or a single stem, this 1980s piece brings a warm, textural presence to alcoves, consoles, or modern wabi-sabi interiors.

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.
