<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bathalon, post: 9424607, member: 80912&quot;]Good day everyone, </p><p>I have been browsing this forum for a long time but this is my first post here. </p><p><br /></p><p>My wife&#039;s grand-mother died last year (106 years old) and we needed to sort the many objects accumulated by her grand-parents over the course of the lives. One of the object that caught my attention was this basket. I fell under the charm of its complex weaving pattern and we decided to bring it home with us to America. </p><p><br /></p><p>A few weeks ago, I bought a book about Ikebana Flower arrangements and noticed that some of the basket in the book ressembles the one I have. And I am starting to wonder if this is a Japanese basket? </p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone help me identify the country of origin, the era and/or the name of the artist?</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed a mark under the basket and realized it might be the name of the artist who crafted this amazing object. The basket is about 24 inches tall (including the handle). </p><p>There is a smaller Bamboo container inside the basket. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated. I can take more photos if necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/BGdfw04" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/BGdfw04" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/BGdfw04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/nLwj86G" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/nLwj86G" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nLwj86G.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/LZskayr" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/LZskayr" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/LZskayr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/nLwj86G" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/nLwj86G" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/nLwj86G.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://imgur.com/V5yx9ra" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imgur.com/V5yx9ra" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/V5yx9ra.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
