Made from expertly woven bamboo and reed, this hanakago (花籠) exudes pure artisan skill and serene simplicity.

Dimensions: height 45 cm · width 12 cm · depth 12 cm. The basket is in good condition.

It features a graceful traditional form and rests on four bamboo legs seamlessly integrated into the woven structure.

A striking detail is the weathered finish — a combination of white and grey applied using a traditional hand-brushed technique. The result is a surface where the colors subtly dance, creating a beautifully aged patina.

A unique decorative piece — perfect for displaying plants, flowers, or dried arrangements in a refined and stylish way.

Even without contents, this basket radiates calm, grace, and the quiet beauty of Japanese design. See less
