    I'm handling an estate so I didn't think of it in 
artist terms as you did . So I didn't take an artistic approach
to the subject. One's approach to a picture surely changes the 
outcome. Even now I can think of it in a more artistic picture. It was taken 
with a digital range finder type camera with limited controls and built in 
flash. I don't have any auxiliary flashes with me that can add light from 
another angle. One major problem with this camera is I don't have exposure 
overrides.
     The object has had limited appeal in 
Richmond, VA so I will probably take it home and post it on a bulletin board in 
California where there is a lot more Japanese population
   I GUESS I SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE A HINT. Object functions in 
water like oceans, bays, lagoons.

What is it? Made in 
  Japan:  Did you find out what it is?  My first thought was a purse, 
  but there is no bottom.  The color of the background and foreground work 
  well with the bamboo item.  I think I would have included some strong 
  lighting at a distinct angle to take advantage of the item's 
  slats.  It may make it a more powerful image (can you see slits of light 
  and shadow shooting off toward the background?  A great object and I know 
  I'd have fun working with it.
