Japanese Ikebana Basket with Raised Plaits and Twisted Handle

A striking Japanese antique ikebana basket with a commanding vertical form and sculptural rhythm. The body features tightly interwoven strips overlaid by dramatic raised plaits, giving it both strength and a sense of upward movement. The twisted handle adds a dynamic touch, echoing the basket’s flowing energy and subtle asymmetry.

Crafted from dark-stained bamboo, the surface carries a rich natural sheen developed through time and use.
