Set of Ikebana Bamboo Baskets Maeda Chikubōsai Meiji Period

Offered by: Maison Cedric

Description
Set of four woven bamboo Ikebana baskets from the Meiji period, executed using traditional Japanese weaving techniques. This ancestral craft, passed down from generation to generation, requires remarkable precision and consistency, reflecting an exceptional level of technical mastery. Both functional vessels and works of art on their own, these baskets embody the harmony between utility and formal beauty, creating a subtle dialogue between interior and nature. Practiced for centuries, the art of Ikebana seeks to create a living composition, establishing a profound connection between man and nature. The baskets themselves play an essential role in this philosophy, becoming an integral part of the floral arrangement rather than simple containers. Three of the four baskets are signed, although the cursive inscriptions remain to be identified. A rare ensemble of remarkable artistic quality.

Provenance: Collection of Prof. Dr. Hermann Schröder.
