Rare 1920s–40s Japanese Ikebana Woven Bamboo Hanging Basket

A rare and beautifully handcrafted cylindrical woven bamboo basket, likely made in Japan between the 1920s and 1940s for use in ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging).

The compact cylindrical form and natural patina showcase the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese basketry. A true collector’s item and a stunning way to display a single floral stem or branch.
