Handled Flower Basket (T-4190)
-
Description
Chikubosai made this basket with susudake bamboo and rattan, using the techniques of twill plaiting, interlaced circular plaiting, bending, wrapping, and knotting.
Incised signature on the bottom reads 'Chikubosai made this.'
The basket comes with its original lacquered bamboo water-container and a fitted wooden storage box.
One of the most important bamboo artists active in the Kansai region in the first half of the twentieth century, Maeda Chikubosai I worked with Tanabe Chikuunsai I (1877–1937) from about 1912, making high-end baskets. After a period of intense study of earlier baskets for the sencha style of tea drinking, he began exhibiting widely from 1926 and made several pieces for presentation to the emperor and the imperial family. Chikubosai I had access to an abundant supply of susudake (smoked bamboo gathered from the roofs of ancient farmhouses), which he used frequently in his work. The form of this basket, along with the use of a natural bamboo handle, is typical of his early mature work. His work is in the collections of many US and international museums. - More Information
