In terms of karamono, the Ming dynasty baskets that were brought in from the Muromachi period to the early Edo period are called karamono baskets, and in addition to the original flower vases, there are miscellaneous vases as well.
Japanese baskets have been used more and more since the Rikyu era, and from the middle of the Edo period onwards, there are many baskets that people like. At first, basket flower vases were used regardless of whether the furnace or furo was used, and it is said that it was around the beginning of the Meiji period that basket flower vases were used only during the furo season.
However, karamono baskets are also used during the furnace season.
Also, thin boards are not supposed to be used when placing flower vases in baskets. In the Tea Story Shigetsushu, ``Furuta Oribe placed the flower vase in a basket without a thin board, and was given the title of Rikyu. No, even if I become a disciple, I will put him down sooner rather than later.”
Regarding the use of baskets for flower vases, Genkan Endo wrote in Toryu Chanoyu Ryu Denshu, published in 1694, that ``Prince Yoshimasa began using baskets for flowers after seeing the Kara-e paintings of the flower baskets. Ya."
