Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9784770030627.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce neglected in the West, Japanese basketry now claims a loyal following among art lovers, collectors, and craftspeople in the United States and Europe. Japanese Bamboo Baskets: Meiji, Modern, and Contemporary acknowledges this growing interest by presenting a stunning array of the best baskets to come out of Japan in the last 150 years. The authors - both Japanese experts in the field - have selected superb examples from private and museum collections throughout the world. They focus on the breathtaking works by the masters of the traditional form - Rokansai, Shokosai, and Chikuunsai - as well as those of the leading contemporary artists, whose groundbreaking sculptural pieces are attracting ever-greater attention from the international art community.\n\nJapanese Bamboo Baskets frames the pieces in a wealth of newly written material, beginning with a Foreword by pioneer collector Lloyd Cotsen. Masanori Moroyama, in-house bamboo expert at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, contributes a compelling history of this forgotten art, while spokeswoman for the artists Masami Oguchi provides potent insights into the artists and their works. A trio of interviews with top artists, as well as essays by other voices in the field, round out the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"講談社","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986486358069,"sku":"ByrdShop_4770030622","price":451.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9784770030627_465e81d2-a12b-4aa6-8b98-984dea4d4ba4.jpg?v=1778826550","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/japanese-bamboo-baskets-meiji-modern-and-contemporary-9784770030627","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
