I use the nawame hishi sashiami (rope and lozenge plaiting) technique on producing my artwork. Recently, I weave an "armor" over this. As the shadows of the woven bamboo are beautiful when looking into the vessel, I have been making vessels with wide mouths for the past 2 years as I wanted people to see more of the inside of the vessel. I am also working on bundle plaiting. I made a basket using this technique which I learned from Soho Katsushiro during 2017 – 2018, and received the Yamaguchi Branch Manager Award at the Yamaguchi Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2020. I am also using a technique called kushimeami which my master Kochikusai Tanabe learned from his master Shounsai Shono (Living National Treasure), and am trying to make a new form with this technique.
View DetailAbout 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.
