Sozen-Style Ikebana Basket
This style of bamboo ikebana basket was first crafted by the tea master Hisada Sozen (1647–1707), known for his skill at making tea utensils. It is intended for use in the chanoyu tea ceremony, especially during the summertime, where it would hold flowers, loosely arranged. The ends of the bamboo strips pitch downward from the rim of the basket into the interior, to help hold the stems in place. Exquisite patina and preservation. Early- to mid-20th century (Taisho or early Showa period).
