The shape, size and plaiting pattern woven in natural bamboo makes this an ideal basket for a simple floral display of natural grasses and flowers from early spring to late autumn.

Excellent overall shape and detail shows effort craftsmanship in an intricate weave.

* Hobichiku refers to smoked ‘nemagiri dake’ or other dwarf bamboo from the construction materials of a traditional farmhouse often hundreds of years old. The rich brown color is the cumulative effect of exposure to kitchen or hearth fires – makes hobichiku a particularly desirable material for artists.

Style Tip: Arrange flowers in this basket in a nook or genkan with spring or summer fresh flowers for a wabi Sabi feelSee
