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.

The basic form of this ikebana basket has been enhanced by wide strips of wisteria bark that have been woven horizontally throughout the body. The layering of several strips of bamboo creates depth to the rim. Adding to its organic nature is the incorporation of vine and rootwood. Very good condition. Early to mid-1900’s.
Dimensions: 16” x 9”

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”

This early to mid-1900’s ikebana basket is distinctly Japanese with its rich nemagaridake bamboo, organic form and irregular weave. Reflecting sensitiviy to nature and design, this artist integrated rootwood into the body and vine around the rim. An asymmetrical rootwood handle adds an unexpected contrast and tension to what may have otherwise been a static, ordinary basket. Excellent condition.
Dimensions: 20” x 10”
