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.
Parallel construction
Parallel construction (kumimono) is a method of bamboo basketry in which separately prepared bamboo components made of parallel elements are interlaced. The components are constructed using a technique called “comb plaiting” (kushime-ami), in which thicker, sturdy strips of bamboo are evenly spaced, and then the edges are tied together with rattan.
