Japanese Baskets


Japanese baskets date back to Muromachi period (1392-1568). They began as utilitarian items but, as with so many Japanese folk pieces, eventually transformed into glorious works of art. Early artisans wove baskets from bamboo, known for its toughness and durability, for Japanese tea ceremony and for ikebana flower displays.

Japanese baskets also served as fruit and letter holders, and in wall and tokonoma presentations. They continue to enchant and impress today, exuding in their very presence a sense of calm and harmony, simplicity and elegance.
