Japanese hanakago (flower basket) from the Showa period, featuring a bold, sculptural double-walled form and a tightly braided arched handle. The body is woven in a chevron (yagasuri) pattern using smoked bamboo, with pointed lobes extending upward in a stylized floral shape.
The double-wall construction not only adds structural strength but also enhances the visual depth and intricacy of the weave. The richly toned bamboo surface reveals warm reddish-brown highlights beneath the dark smoke finish, reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetic values of natural material
