Japanese Woven Bamboo Ikebana Basket by Kosuge Kogetsu

About the Item

An elegant hand-woven ikebana flower backet by Japanese bamboo artist Kosuge Kogetsu (1932-) circa 1970-80s. This basket is in the classic form derived from Chinese flower basket with a slender hexagonal body and a long handle. Constructed with madake for the thicker bands and exterior frames, young nemagari dake for the body and rattan for the knot ties, the artist used twill plating for the body and thousand-line as the exterior reinforced frame. The base signed "Kogetsu-saku" (made by Kogetsu). Sometimes known as "Hounsai", the artist was born in 1932 and originally from Chubu Region and active in Hanyuda, Nigata Prefecture. He is the third son of Kosuge Chikudo (1895-1966) and studied under his father, who was a well-known bamboo artist.

  • Japanese Bamboo Basket Ikebana Suzuki Gengensai
    By Suzuki Gengensai
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    An elegantly woven bamboo basket with handle as an ikenana container by Suzuki Gengensai (1891-1950) circa 1923-50. Suzuki Gengensai was from Kansai region and active in Osaka. He studied bamboo art under Yamashita Kochikusai (1876-1947) and became an independent artist in 1913. He received his artist name Gengensai in 1914 and in 1923 he changed the characters to Gen, a slight written variation of the character. This basket was signed in this later variation, which helps to date the piece to post 1923. The basket is woven entirely in a free style irregular plating on the body and with a twisted bundled handle. The surface is lacquered in a deep reddish color. The seemingly less rigid technique renders the piece a more rustic and natural aesthetic that is more suitable for certain occasions. It is singed on the base with artist's signature in the variation post 1923. A very similar basket of the irregular weaving but without the handle is illustrated in plate 72 in "Baskets Masterpieces of Japanese Bamboo Art...
