Featured birthday woven box

Hi folks

found this this sweet lil box today, don't think its got much(or any) age, but just looks nicely put together/made

haven't a clue on origin

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

straw ?

 

I just did an image search on Chinese eBay and results are suggesting Japanese

 

interesting, thanks shammie, i can sort of see that, so hopefully so

 

maybe around the 50s - 70s then possibly

 

still a nice gift to oneself .....

 

nuffinck inside though

 

I like the design--- looks a little tech / computer board -ish. Prob not the intent though.

 

its surprising that image search cannot find anything even similar, was worried it was gonna be full of likeys

 

Very Japanese, with that seemingly random but very balanced combination of designs. It is the same effect you see on silk kimonos.
I love it, a very pretty birthday gift.

 

great news, thanks Aj. quite intricate as well in those little boxed areas. Happy that its Japanese

suppose it could also be grass (or similar) given how thin the strands are

 

odd that they went to soooooooo much effort, then when it came to the base.........

 

As they say overhere "nobody lives there" = no one sees it anyway.

 

The small geometric panels remind me of the ones you get on some satsuma ceramics. I'd plum for Japanese. Tried to find an example on line but murphys law, I can't.
