About the Item
A woven bamboo sculpture in a basket (ikebana) form named "Dragonfly" by Japanese bamboo artist Fujinuma Noboru (b. 1945) circa 2003. Constructed from Nemagari dwarf bamboo, using techniques such as open work free style plaiting, hexagonal plaiting and wrapping, the piece shows an open body with irregular openings supported by three legs. The thicker wrapping around the mouth rim is reminiscent of the shape of the dragonfly eye. Singed "Noboru". Originally purchased from Tai Modern, Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2003.
Fujinuma Noboru was born in Otawara, Tochigi Prefecture. He studied under Yagisawa Keizo in 1976. In 2002, he was named a Living National Treasure by Japanese Government.
A nearly identical piece is illustrated on page 560, plate 240 in the book "Baskets Masterpieces of Japanese Bamboo Art 1850-2015".

Large Contemporary Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture Mimura Chikuho
By Mimura Chikuho
Located in Atlanta, GA
A contemporary hand-woven bamboo sculpture in an organic form by Japanese bamboo artist Mimura Chikuho (1973-). Named "Cloud on the Peak", the piece was made as one of his series in 2004. Entirely hand-woven in irregular plaiting, the artist challenged the traditional bamboo basket making and elevated it into modern abstract sculpture. The minimalist donut form resembles the hat-shaped cloud formed around the peak of the mountain (often seen on Fujisan in Japanese art). It displays a wonderful subtle undulation and irregularity in its organic shape, achieved by a mastery of the traditional technique. The irregular plaiting appears chaotic in its busy crossing patterns yet as a whole, the piece strangely quiet and introverted, demanding contemplation from the viewer. Signed "Chikuho" underneath in Kanji. The piece comes with its original storage paper box and a silk bag.
Provenance: Purchased from Tai Gallery/Textile Arts now (Tai Modern) in Santa Fe.

Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Sculpture Honma Hideaki
By Honma Hideaki
Located in Atlanta, GA
A bamboo table top sculpture by Japanese bamboo artist Honma Hideaki (b. 1959) made in early 2000s. The basket form sculpture was a creative ikebana and could be used as such or simply as a okimono (decorative piece). The piece is of an unusual oval dish form with the wall irregularly outlined with bent bamboo, thousand-line construction form the upper part of the wall and the patterned twining was added in the lower part to give it a visual shift from airiness to solidity. A large piece of bamboo was selected as the base.
Signed "Hide" underneath. An American Midwest collection.

Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture by Honda Syoryu
By Honda Shoryu
Located in Atlanta, GA
Entitled "Rhythm", this abstract sculpture was made by Japanese bamboo artist Honda Syoryu (Japanese, born 1951) in 2005. The free vertical form defies the limit of the traditional material bamboo as a rigid medium, and instead displays a nearly impossibly fluidity. Rooted in ages of tradition of Japanese basket weaving, the artist managed to break that ikebana tradition using bending and twisting techniques to create a pure sculptural work.
The work is a testament of how traditional craft can be reinvented into modern art form. Signed with carved signature "Syoryu" underneath.
The sculpture is displayed on a custom-made stand and can be appreciated from all angles. It comes with its original box and cloth, with label and Japanese inscription as shown.
Provenance: Purchased in 2005 from Tai Modern...
