Japanese Mingei (Folk) Gathering Basket

About the Item

Japanese Mingei (Folk Art) Gathering Basket This hand made gathering basket is from Northern Japan. It was most likely a gathering basket. However, it could be utilized in different applications. It closes by pulling-up on the straps, and the 30 one-inch (in diameter) metal rings closes it. The heavy straps on the backside run all through the bottom, and perhaps, it was a backpack, as the heavy straps were designed for field or farm work. It is a Folk Art item in very good condition considering its use and age. Applications and Uses: Wall Art When it was photographed, very interesting shadpws appeared The top 4 inches is an unusual design of open-work, different from the main body. Dried Materials Knitting Basket All my knitting friends carry their projects with them on-the-go everywhere. This basket is well thought-out and well executed. "A Great Find."
