Japanese Antiques Maeda Chikubosai II, Hosai, bamboo tray, flat flower basket

About the Item

Second generation Maeda Chikubosai Hosai Smoked bamboo tray / bamboo basket Material: Bamboo Size: φ390× 115/380(H) [mm] 1kg Box size: 420×460×420mm 5kg Three famous bamboo craftsmen from Osaka in the Meiji period. The first Wada Waissai 和田和一斎 (1851-1901) from Sumiyoshi *his apprentice was the first Tanabe Chikuunsai 田辺竹雲斎 Nanba Donkosai 呑光斎 Senba Hayakawa Shokosai I (1815-1897)早川尚古斎 They faithfully copied Chinese-made karamono baskets and even arranged them in a Japanese style. The first Chikubousai 前田竹房斎 was also a master craftsman from Sakai, and left behind wonderful works such as Japanese arrangements of karamono copies. This is a very rare bamboo basket with the inscription "Housai 方斎" The "Housai 方斎" name is said to have been used by the second Chikubousai 前田竹房斎, and it is thought to be a work that was inherited by the name. This is the first time I have seen the "Housai 方斎" inscription, and I hope it will be a rare document I also have the same basket made by the first Chikubousai 前田竹房斎, so I took a photo of them side by side. In the latter image, the right is the first and the left is this work. When placed side by side, it is a beautiful piece that does not look inferior to the original. There is an inscription "Hosai 方斎" . There are no noticeable scratches, but since it is an old item, please forgive us if we overlook small frays or scratches. It is not a Tomobako (Original) box. It comes with a box, but the product does not fit securely. Please consider it as a protection only.
