Superb skill and precision is reflected in the artistry of this wall-hung ikebana basket. By varying the width of thin bamboo strips and the tightness of the plaiting, Yanagishita Shokan, an award-winning Tochigi artist has created a functional sculpture. A contrasting strip of bamboo resembling a loose tie has been woven around the neck. It comes with a bamboo liner and an unsigned wooden storage box. Mid-1900’s. Excellent Condition.

This early to mid-1900’s sculptural ikebana basket takes the form of a Japanese lantern. The hexagonal base is supported by bamboo-root stalks with bamboo root incorporated into the rim and handle. Intricately woven rattan knots and stitches provide strength, attach elements and serve as an important decorative accent. Illegible signature on the bottom. Minor damage to a few strips on the underside. (See photos)
Dimensions: 18” x 7”

Beneath a layer of vertical strips of bamboo lies a carefully constructed body that functions as a support structure to this early to mid-1900's ikebana basket. It has been woven in what is referred to as a lozenge pattern. The symmetry of this piece has been complemented by a wide band of natural vine woven horizontally through the base. Illegible signature on the bottom. Excellent condition.

This ikebana basket takes the form of a stylized boat, a popular shape for flower containers. This artist, from Tokyo, has enhanced the simplicity of the piece by randomly polishing strips of tightly twill-plaited lacquered bamboo to reveal a honey-colored undercoat. Bamboo strips have been twisted and attached on the diagonal to form the handle. The artist is 77 years old and resides in Tokyo. Signed: Buseki Suigetsu. Excellent Condition.
Dimensions: 20” x 9 ½” x 4 ½”

Over the years, Japanese artists have been inspired by shapes from other parts of Asia. The gourd is a classic example of the Japanese adoption of borrowed forms. Spiraling from the bottom, strips of bamboo have been randomly extended upward. Thin strips of bamboo have been twisted, braided and then wrapped around the middle to imitate a cord and tassel. Early to mid-1900’s. Very good condition.
Dimensions: 15 ½” x 8”
