-
Description
A bespoken Japanese hanakago (flower basket) for ikebana by Bamboo artist Ueda Shounsai (1897-1990). Hand-woven with bamboo and rattan, and equipped with a copper lined inner vase, the basket features a modern bucket form with bended bamboo frames. The body was woven with Thousand-line construction, also known as comb plaiting. It was designed in an oblique pattern that gives this piece a distinctive flavor. The arched handle was bended gracefully with branches attached to the rim of the basket. The base is inscribed Shounsai zo (尚雲齋造) to base. The basket comes with its original Japanese wood box with paper label and inscription signed to the inside of the cover.
Provenance: Rosemary Bandini Ltd (label inside the box).
Ueda Shounsai was active in Osaka in Kansai region. He was an apprentice of Tanabe Chikuunsai I (1877-1937), one of the most important bamboo artists working in the Osaka Prefecture. - More Information
