Bamboo, which is around Japanese people, has been processed several things from the old time. Most important of all is a bamboo basket. It is a must in a tea-room. It is one of the Japanese representive industrial arts because of delicate and wabi colors and form. I went to America. At that time, I knew bamboo was popular in America.
I met Masamitsu Saito, the leading collector in Japan, when gBamboo Arth of New York Japan Society was opened. This exhibition is caused by popularity at that time.
Mr.Saito, collecting bamboo baskets from the Edo era to the present day, is the man in the news. At this exhibition, forty flower baskets in his collection are exhibited at Ginza Ippodo Salon. Will you please see mastersf bamboo baskets with flowers of the seasons?
