Baskets have been traditionally made and used as ikebana vessels, since the C16th when the tea master Rikyu, first adapted and used a fishing basket for flower arrangement. Ikebana basket making is a craft that has arguably crossed the line to fine art influenced by the fine aesthetics of tea-ceremony.
