Tiny Ikebana basket realised in lacquered bamboo

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.

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...
