About the Item

Boat shaped Ikebana basket, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Made of bamboo with copper insert, signature of maker. This one of a kind ikebana basket features an irregular weave pattern of bamboo strips and knotted wood accents. It has a copper insert to hold water should it be used for flower arranging and a cord to hang it from. It has a deep brown color from the bamboo being treated by a coal fire during the construction process. Ikebana baskets are closely associated with the sencha tea ceremony. Baskets like these would typically be used to hold flowers which decorate the tokonoma inside the tea room. This basket measures 23" in length, 8.5" in width, and 9" in height. The copper insert measures 6.5" x 6.5".
