ABOUT PLAITED BAMBOO

Artists & Artworks

Description

Plaited bamboo basketry (amimono) is created by weaving together hundreds of strips of bamboo into patterns known as plaiting (ami). Various patterns and shapes can be created by using bamboo strips of different widths or thicknesses. The many styles of plaiting utilize bamboo’s pliability to produce beautifully patterned works.
Bundled strips of bamboo may be woven together to create bold, contrasting patterns.
