Exceptional Japanese "Rough-Plaited" Bamboo Flower Basket

Exceptional Japanese "Rough-Plaited" Bamboo Flower Basket. Unsigned. Exquisite condition. 20"h. A masterful example of contemporary Japanese bamboo art, this large-scale flower basket (hanakago) showcases the bold, expressive "rough-plaited" technique characteristic of the Beppu weaving tradition. Combining sculptural power with organic elegance, the piece utilizes various parts of the bamboo plant to create a work of significant visual weight and texture. Features a robust, integrated handle crafted from spiraling bamboo rope and architectural rhizome (root) elements, providing a dramatic silhouette reminiscent of the works of Yufu Shohaku.
