Chinese-style flower basket, late 19th century, Morita Chikuami, Japanese, 1877 - 1947, 20 1/2 × 12 3/16 × 11 in. (52.07 × 30.96 × 27.94 cm), Bamboo, lacquer, copper, Japan, 19th century, Working out of a shop in Kyoto, established by his family in 1819 and still open for business today, Morita Chikuami specialized in creating bamboo baskets for a type of Japanese tea ceremony called sencha. Sencha emerged in Japan in the 1700s, based on contemporary Chinese practices, and was especially popular among the cultural elites of urban Japan. A key component of sencha decoration is flower arrangements, which often utilize bamboo flower baskets like this one. Symmetrical, with an abundance of meticulous decorative detailing, it reflects an age-old Chinese tradition of bamboo basketry that is in stark contrast to the freer forms characteristic of Japanese-style baskets.
