Superb Japanese Ikebana Bamboo Basket, 20th Century
About the Item
A beautiful example of Japanese craftsmanship, this Ikebana bamboo basket dates to the 20th century and showcases a finely woven structure with graceful proportions and elegant vertical form. Traditionally used in Ikebana—the Japanese art of flower arrangement—such baskets combine both function and aesthetic harmony, echoing the natural materials they are designed to hold.
This piece is skillfully handwoven using thin strips of bamboo, with a balanced form and expressive patination developed over years of use and age. The natural color variations and surface wear add warmth and character, aligning with the wabi-sabi philosophy of beauty in imperfection and time.
Whether used as a display object, a vessel for seasonal arrangements, or as a sculptural accent, this basket brings a quiet sophistication to any space.

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...
