About the Artwork

I made the main body using a technique called "Hishi Sashi Nawame Ami (rope and lozenge plaiting)" and wove an armor ("yoroi" in Japanese) with thin strips of bamboo over it. I expressed the sunlight at dawn on New Year's Day getting brighter by the minute by changing the width and colors of the bamboo strips.

Techniques Used

Plaited bamboo

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.
