Japanese Antique Tree Bark Basket 1860s-1920s / Plant Cover Bowl Wabisabi

About the Item

This basket is made of very old tree bark. It is from the Meiji period (1860s-1920s). It seems to be a very rare tool that was made only in certain areas in the Tohoku region. It seems that when vegetables and grains were collected, they were put in this basket and moved around. It is a beautiful tool that gives us a sense of the wisdom of life in those days. It is also recommended as a plant cover. This is a very rare item that gives a sense of the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic. Weight 2.5kg.

    Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
    Since ancient times, people have created necessary tools from familiar materials, passed them on, and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature.

In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques. This is a very old candlestick...
