"A message from Kirio Kamata" |
||||||||||||||||
| In the year of 2038, Kirio Kamata (the mantis) is protected and living in a clear bag. This exhibition is to give a chance to the viewer to think about many environmental issues as well as the problems that the bamboo craftsman and bamboo forest holders are confronted, such as the decrease of successors. These problems causes damage to the bamboo forests. We would like you to make insects to get more familiar with the works of bamboos. |
