An antique Japanese bamboo Ikebana basket with grated half hooped corners in its design. The handle in its token form loosely suggests its ethereal nature and use in the art of Ikebana flower arranging. It has a two slatted flat base with a bottom grid pattern measuring about 1" apart. The basket has an ephemeral quality as if it was made at the whim of the artist for the moment.
