About the Item
A lovely Japanese bamboo basket by Hayakawa Shokosai IV, the fourth generation of the Shokosai lineage, one of the best known in the Japanese Bamboo art. The basket was made in irregular plaiting using Phoenix Tail Bamboo (Bambusa multiplex), a subspecies that grows in tropical. The bulbous body with two ear handles displays a strong free spirit, which betrays the demand on the technique. The basket was coated in a transparent lacquer to allow the appreciation of the beauty of the raw material. The storage box Tomobako retains full inscription. On the exterior of the lid, it was marked with "Phoenix Bamboo flower basket, with ear handles". On the interior of the lid, it was scripted the date "Showa 3rd winter" (1928, when the artist was 26 years old, 5 year after he became the family head), and it was further signed "fourth generation of Shokosai" with a red seal. A complete and great example of the early work of the artist. Size shown is the basket. The measurement of the box is 9.65" W x 9.65" D x 13.87".
Hayakawa Shokosai IV (1902-1975) was born "Hayakawa Tadahiro". He was the eldest son of Shokosai III and succeeded to the family title at the early age of 21. He learned his craft by studying finished works and undoing their plaiting to understand the techniques, rather than by apprenticing under another master weaver. He is known for associating his work with the art of scholars, Buddhist monks, politicians, artisans and remained close to Sencha tea schools. After the family home in Osaka was destroyed during World War II, he moved to Kyoto where the family has resided to the present. He served as the president of Japanese Society of Bamboo Art and is the father of the Shokosai V (1932-2011).

Japanese Bamboo Ikebana Basket by Yamamoto Chikuryosai I Shoen
Located in Atlanta, GA
An important Japanese bamboo Ikebana basket by Yamamoto Chikuryosai I (also known as Chikuryusai I, Shoen after 1929) (1868-1945). Active in Osaka, Kansai region, he was advised by Wada Waichisai I. After 1929, he signed his work as Shoen (Shoen made this), such as this one.
This basket was made using "sooted" bamboo (susutake in Japanese). This bamboo materials was collected from traditional thatched-roof houses that had been exposed to decades of smoke from a hearth or cooking fire, therefore the basket displays a deep rich patina that is hard to attain by color-lacquering. The basket featured a large rounded barrel form with handle. The body was constructed with a twill plaiting variation of a more relaxed and loose weave. It allows the light coming through to render the piece a lighter sense. Parallel plaiting was used to reinforce the body with stripes of bamboo, while adding more visual constrict to a free spirited background. Twisted bamboo strips form rope-like handle and the top rim. It is signed "Shoen Made This" on the base. Two-piece water container made from bamboo trunk is retained with the piece as shown.
