"Bamboo Baskets and Calico" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Takanawa Zakurozaka Gallery Ippodo
Media: Other, Crafts
Having studied under the wizard of bamboo basket-making Rokansai Iizuka, Hafu Matsumoto creates sculptural bamboo baskets as carrying on his master's will. By applying a variety of traditional weaving methods, he realizes exquisite forms, which have earned much acclaim internationally.
Having learned in Oita prefecture, one of the most famous bamboo-producing sites in Japan, Masamitsu Hayashi and Shinya Abe reflect their love for the material on their works within which both sinuous beauty and practicality exist.
Yukihito Tanaka was allured by a piece of old Indian red calico in his late twenties. After many trials and errors, he innovated his own woodcut calico and has produced exclusively red-dyed calico for over 30 years.
With the display of bamboo and calico works, this exhibition sheds light on artistries and craftsmanship of these artists.
