Japanese Art Deco Ikebana Chromed Metal Basket, ca. 1930s

About the Item

Art Deco Ikebana Basket Chromed Metal Japan, ca. 1930s ABOUT Ikebana is the Japanese art of of beautifully arranging cut stems, leaves, and flowers in vases and other containers that evolved in Japan over seven centuries. To arrange the stems and flowers exactly as one wishes, a familiarity with many different ways of fastening and positioning them is necessary. In ikebana, blossoms, branches, leaves, and stems find new life as materials for art making. In contrast to the western habits of casually placing flowers in a vase, ikebana aims to bring out the inner qualities of flowers and other live materials and express emotion. The principles of ikebana are: Silence – It is a time to observe and work with nature. Minimalism – It is influenced by Buddhism and its ideal of minimalism. Shape and Line – Ikebana emphasizes shape. The Buddhist desire to preserve life lies at the root of much of ikebana practice, and has created most of the rules of flower arrangement, controlling also the shapes of the flower vases, formed as to help to prolong the life of the flowers. During the 15th century, society changed drastically, much as it did during the Renaissance period in Europe, and practicing ikebana began formally as a secular endeavor. In the beginning, it was an important activity of the nobility and arrangers were chiefly Buddhist priests and samurai. While we might consider flowers to be inherently feminine, ikebana was for centuries a predominantly male tradition, although it was practiced by both sexes.
