About the Item

Small Ikebana basket with a black lacquer finish, solely made of bamboo slats. The handle is of rectangular shape, made of a single slice of bamboo split and fixed by four knots deep rooted in a braided belt. The body is rather coved but held tight by diamond shaped weaving and kept in place at its base by a fish bone braiding motif only visible underneath the basket. Includes its water cup that is also in black lacquered bamboo. Ikebana or Ka-do (the way of flowers) is a traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement. Unlike Western floral art, ikebana does not aim to emphasize only the beauty of the flowers and the harmony of colors. This art wants to enhance the vase, the stems, the leaves, the branches as much as the flower itself. The structure of the floral arrangement is based on three symbols: the sky, the earth and humanity.
