This richly illustrated volume contains 323 works from the Naej Collection. Essay on the evolution of bamboo art in Japan, from founding father Hayakawa Shokosai I (1815–1897) and his successors and to the other great craft dynasties based in Osaka, the Iizuka line in Tochigi Prefecture and Tokyo, and the post-war period when artistic basketry came to be practised in many other parts of Japan and a new generation of masters emerged.
