Respected for his technical mastery, Iwao Kounsai, a Kyushu artist was credited for presenting work to the Showa Emperor (1912-1926). Utilizing traditional and complex plaiting techniques, the artist designed this gracefully tapered conical-formed ikebana basket. The round openings have been shaped to complement the round bottom. A single strip of bamboo has been inserted at the base and continues over the top and down the other side to provide additional strength. Rattan bands have been used to reinforce the rim and bottom. Very good condition.
Dimensions: 17 ½ x 6

This early 1900s handbag has been finely woven of narrow threads of rattan creating a shell like pattern. All sides have been trimmed with wide strips of bamboo . It has metal fittings and the interior has been lined with a floral fabric. It is in good condition except for the lining which shows years of wear, minor damage to the plaiting in one small section on the top, and a missing pin to secure the latch.
Dimensions: 10 x 7 x 5
