Set of Ikebana baskets in bamboo by Maeda Chikubōsai, Meiji period.

Set of four Ikebana baskets made of woven bamboo dating from the Meiji period (1868-1912), crafted using traditional Japanese weaving techniques. This art, passed down from generation to generation, requires remarkable precision and consistency, demonstrating exceptional technical mastery. These baskets, both receptacles and works of art in their own right, combine functionality with formal beauty, creating a link between the interior and the exterior. This silent art, practiced for several centuries, aims to create a living work, a connection between man and nature. Three signed pieces closely resembling the signatures of Maeda Chikubōsai. Rare pieces of great artistic value. Provenance: collection of Prof. Dr Hermann Schröder.
