Elegant in its elongated form that morphs from cylinder to a square opening with an arched handle alluded to the moon, the basket was constructed in very thin strips of bamboo and rattan and coated with lacquer. The artist combines mat plaiting, thousand-line construction and twining expertly to achieve this lovely piece. The piece is incised artist's mark to underside and accompanied by the original Otoshi (bamboo container for the water).
The hanakago comes with the original signed paper storage box, packing and the several printed reference notes as shown. See less
