Sōzen-Preferred Hanging & Standing Hanakago Flower Basket

This elegant Hanakago (Flower Basket) is a faithful reproduction of a design favored by Sōzen, crafted for use in the Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu).

Handwoven from natural bamboo, this versatile basket can be used as either a hanging flower basket or a standing flower vase, making it suitable for a variety of tea room displays. It includes a lacquered bamboo insert (Urushi-coated Take Iriko), designed to securely hold a bamboo tube or flower container for fresh seasonal arrangements.

Its refined form and natural bamboo texture beautifully complement the spirit of wabi-sabi, allowing a simple arrangement of seasonal flowers to become the focal point of the tea room. Whether displayed in a tokonoma alcove or suspended as a hanging basket, it brings timeless Japanese elegance to Chanoyu and Ikebana.

Each basket is individually handcrafted in Japan, highlighting the warmth and unique character of natural bamboo.
