The bamboo: tall, strong and flexible. This fast-growing shoot has
been used as a construction material, a foodstuff and fuel for
millennia, from India to Japan. Tanabe Chikuunsai IV's art elevates
bamboo to new heights. By weaving together small pieces of fibrous
stalk, he creates vast, detailed sculptures without the use of
rivets or adhesives. Under Chikuunsai IV's skilled craftsmanship,
bamboo is more than a functional tool: it is modern art, a unifying
symbol of Japanese culture. His sculptures revere traditional
workmanship, while conveying important contemporary messages - the
codependence of nature and man, and the importance of protecting
our environment. Part autobiography, part introduction to the
craft, this monograph follows Chikuunsai IV's growth from a child
marvelling at his grandfather's mastery of bamboo, to a maestro in
his own right. Bamboo weaves his past to his present, providing a
sturdy foundation on which his art continues to build. "Love
bamboos, live with bamboos," says Chikuunsai IV. As this book
demonstrates, he has done precisely that.
