Bamboo Basket – Biku Form Flower & Storage Vessel
£180.00
A traditional Japanese basket hand-woven in the classic biku (gourd) shape. Historically inspired by regional fishing baskets, this elegant, narrow-necked form has long been celebrated in Japan as a rustic vessel for ikebana floral arrangements and interior display.
Materials
Handcrafted from finely split bamboo utilizing a vertical plaiting technique, reinforced with tight horizontal stabilizing bands and a heavy-duty twisted rim. A traditional hand-knotted natural fibre cord is tied securely around the narrow neck. The untreated bamboo surface has developed a beautiful variegation of tones, from deep golden-honey amber to darker smoky patches, earned through decades of natural aging and handling.
