Since the eighth century, meticulously woven bamboo baskets have served daily functions, first in Buddhist liturgy and later in the tea ceremony. Over the past two centuries, bamboo art has risen to the status of fine art, with leading makers creating coveted works for ikebana and, more recently, sculptural objects celebrated as contemporary art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis elegant, richly illustrated volume presents over 160 baskets, highlighting their spectacular silhouettes and exquisite details - from complex weaving patterns and refined signatures to intricately plaited undersides. Informative captions reveal the techniques of an art now enjoying renewed attention, as bamboo offers a durable and ecological alternative to disposable materials. Most photographs were taken against specially conceived backdrops recalling the enigmatic architectural spaces of Giorgio de Chirico, while others show baskets with contemporary flower arrangements set before industrial waste‑processing facilities, underscoring the book’s advocacy for bamboo as a renewable resource that challenges our throwaway plastic culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing three paper stocks and a fine cloth cover, this beautifully presented volume will appeal to design aficionados and lovers of Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVisit our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Shipping and Tax\" href=\"https:\/\/jane-carr.com\/pages\/shipping-and-tax\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eShipping and Tax\u003c\/a\u003e page to see international shipping rates and for information on taxes and duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGIFT WRAPPING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYour order will be prepared with the greatest care, wrapped in our \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gift Wrapping\" href=\"https:\/\/jane-carr.com\/pages\/gift-wrapping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esignature packaging\u003c\/a\u003e.
