"The captivating pieces in this volume chart the evolution of the Japanese bamboo basket. From the Meiji Period (1868-1912), a string of talented craftsmen designed elegant works for connoisseurs of the arts, who sought more polished pieces to meet their changing vision of a cultured lifestyle. The next generation of Modern craftspeople refined the vision, taking it to new heights of sophistication. Today, the Contemporary bamboo artist continues to innovate, creating bolder works with a growing arsenal of expressie techniques--and elevating the genre to the world stage."
