This Japanese hanakago or flower basket is traditionally used in the art of Japanese flower arranging or ikebana. It is comprised of a variety or varieties of bamboo.
The bottom of the basket has two horizontal pieces and two vertical pieces comprising the feet. These are held together by finishing nails. Wire was used in the basket's construction as well. Please see the eighth photo. The handle has a circular overlapping stitch where every other stitch is looped over the piece of wood used for the handle. The basket looks to have been varnished. There may be water damage to the bottom of the basket in the center as it is darker than the rest of the basket in the interior and on the exterior as seen in photos five, six and ten.
The opening of the basket measures 8" x 6.5".
Please use the zoom function to see the intricate beauty of this hanakago.
