Subject:Signed ikebana baskets
Posted By: Elora Wed, Jan 08, 2020 IP: 2a01:cb05:8362:5000:

Hi,

I've got two ikebana baskets. Both are signed and I actually have one's transport case.

If anyone could help me read the kanji I would be much obliged.

Does anyone else actually use these as opposed to having them purely for decoration? I know that the cups inside are made out of lacquer/resin but I'm still nervous about actually putting plants and water in them in case I damage them.

Thanks for your time,

Regards,
