This is an old basket with rich patina possibly from the early Showa era (early 1920's ~ 40's). Beautifully hand-woven with Akebi (Akebia quinata) vines. It was probably made for agricultural work and the basket itself is very sturdy. The handles have shown age and may not be strong enoough to hold too much weight. A fabric reinforcement has been applied to support the joints of the handles.
Old Akebi baskets are extremely rare to find. Just being there it has such a significant presence. You can use it to decorate with dried flowers or use to store small things together.
Very good condition. Since this is one of a kind (antique / vintage) item, some wear and age shown are part of its character and considered as such beauty that is rare. Enjoy wabi-sabi.
