Footnotes

Morita Chikuyosai was based in Osaka, his baskets clearly reflecting the style developed in the mid-20th century by other Osaka artists such as Tanabe Chikuunsai II (1910-2000) and Maeda Chikubosai I (1872-1950). For further examples of his work, compare a basket from the Cotsen Collection now in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and another sold at Christie's London, October 15, 2014, lot 41.
