This bamboo material was collected from traditional thatched-roof houses that had been exposed to decades of smoke from a hearth or cooking fire, therefore the basket displays a deep rich patina that is hard to attain by color-lacquering. It was constructed in a bottle form with a hanging loop on the back using the techniques of open twill plaiting. On the front, some short bamboo chunks were randomly incorporated using irregular plaiting. The piece exemplifies a rustic charm. It is signed with Kanji "Yamazaki Ikebana", which is likely a name of the shop where it was sold or produced. See less
