Basket For Ikebana Called Hanakago Shichiku Japan
BASKET for IKEBANA called Hanakago Shichiku
Japan
Late Meiji period (1868-1912)
Bamboo
H: 41; W: 21 cm
Hexagonal woven bamboo basket, cylindrical in shape, with an openwork, flared neck and a bulging body.
It has a symmetrical handle with four twisted strands and still has its otoshi – its internal bamboo vase. This basket was reserved for ikebana, which can be translated as floral arrangement, which accompanied the tea ceremony.
The term ikebana is made up of ikeru, which means “to live,” and hana, “flower.” Ikebana is therefore the art of bringing flowers to life in a chosen composition for display. It should be added that bamboo is believed to have special properties and is even considered to be a support for the spirit.
