An ikebana basket is Japanese woven bamboo or fiber basket made specifically for the creation and display of ikebana flower arrangements commonly used for tea ceremonies. The purpose of tea ceremonies was to cultivate a sense of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility through the mindful preparation and sharing of tea. It's a holistic practice that encourages self-reflection, aesthetic appreciation, and a deeper connection with nature and tradition.
Besides holding flowers, it would also be great for holding umbrellas or would look beautiful hung on the wall as a piece of art.
