Each strand has been folded, crossed, and fixed by hand; the whole piece holds together without glue or nails, held only by the bamboo's own tension. The dark patina is not a finish but time itself—decades of use, handling, and seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this basket instead of a classic vase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kagome pattern (kago = basket, me = eye) is not just aesthetic: it is a structurally flawless geometry that distributes tension equally across the entire surface, a technique mastered by Japanese basket weavers since the 7th century.

The weaving gives it an almost sculptural presence, while the material remains very natural. I love objects that can be viewed as pieces of craftsmanship, yet still retain a true function. To me, this one sits on the border between a utilitarian object and an art object.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will love it if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou practice or are discovering ikebana and are looking for an authentic container rather than a decorative one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou are sensitive to objects that bear a genuine patina from use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou enjoy pieces that sit on the border between utility and art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is probably not for you if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou are looking for a brand-new vase without any traces of use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eyou want to submerge the object in water (only the lacquered insert comes into contact with water, never the woven bamboo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatinated woven bamboo, lacquered wooden insert included, forged metal handle, height approximately 35 cm (45 cm with handle).
