An exploration of the hidden qualities of bamboo, showing exquisite examples from Japan.
This exhibition illuminates the qualities of bamboo as a material for the modern world. A selection of hand-crafted objects from Japan shows bamboo’s use in the household and in industry, its strength and versatility, and the skills and techniques that work it. The shapes and patterns on display hold much to inspire the eye.
This exhibition is an especially edited version of ‘Our Bamboo: Exploring Materials’ by Japan Creative, shown at the Triennale in Milan in April 2023.
