About the Item

This is a rustic woven basket made of walnut bark, made in Japan around the 20th century. In Japan, tools made of natural materials have been used since ancient times as baskets for carrying harvested goods when farming, gathering wild vegetables, or picking mushrooms. It is not certain whether this product was used for agricultural purposes, but it is possible that it was made with the intention of being used as a flower vase from the beginning. Walnut bark, which is strong and rich in flavor, is used as a material, along with bamboo, wild grapes, and matatabi. The elasticity of the firm, dried bark is utilized to create boldly woven thick strips of bark. The warmth and natural roughness of the handwork stand out in this item. The weave of this item is coarse and has a snorting distortion. The rustic yet present form is the very embodiment of the spirit of wabi-sabi. When hung on a wall, the wide-open mouth creates a sense of three-dimensionality in the space and enhances the simplicity of the wall. The natural sense of rhythm created by the not-too-formal shape blends well with both modern and traditional Japanese spaces. The item is in good condition overall, with no major damage, although there are some fraying and minor blemishes. Please note that the flowers and bamboo tube shown in the photos are not included. When arranging flowers, you can easily display them by inserting a cut plastic bottle or other container inside. There are various types of baskets in Japan, but these baskets have a rugged and natural beauty that is different from fine bamboo work. The unrefined feel of the material and the unique flavor of the bark, which has faded over time, give these baskets a unique charm that cannot be found anywhere else. Its relatively large size (W34 x D27 x H50 cm) makes it perfect for accenting a space. Weighing only about 0.7 kg, it can be easily enjoyed as a wall-hanging interior. This product does not stand on its own, so please be sure to hang it on the wall. The crisp and supple feel of the dried bark is also something to be savored. Weight: 0.7kg [We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin. Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations. Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated. Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.]
