Kusai's Bamboo Art

Flower basket of Migakinotake

• W.14.5cm(5.7″) x H.20cm(7.8″) x D.11cm(4.3″)

This flower basket was made of Migakino-take bamboo which skin chipped off the Tsurushi-no-take. The bamboo were cut about 4 or 4.5cm and bended to make the side. They were piled double for width and triple for length as the base, and stitched with split rattan lines at the corner on the base and at the some points of the body. At the rim stitching, it was set Nemagaridake to the outer and inner ground, put split bamboo lines and stitched with split rattan lines. This basket goes well with not only Tokonoma but also a hall or a living room since it has modern feelings.
