The miniature basket was traditionally used during Sencha tea ceremony. It was woven from bamboo (madake) and rattan using a wide range of techniques including hexagonal plaiting, twining, twill plaiting and circular plaiting base. It was signed underneath Shokosai.
Near identical pieces were in Lloyd Cotsen Japanese bamboo basket collection, 2006.3.289.
