Dimensions: height 30 cm, width 19 cm, depth 17 cm. In very good condition.

The basket features a square base and an organically shaped handle that curves gracefully upward, giving the composition an expressive and sculptural character.

The weaving is irregular and playful, a tangle of vines forming a natural rhythm. This hanakago embodies the aesthetics of wabi-sabi: beauty in imperfection, simplicity, and naturalness.

A decorative object with a strong presence on its own, but even more striking when combined with a refined ikebana arrangement.

A unique and sought-after interior piece, traditionally crafted, uniting the raw power of Japanese craftsmanship and nature. See less
