Continuing the Lineage with Bamboo Apprentices
Bamboo artist Tanabe Chikuunsai IV, together with his four apprentices ("deshi") created a 70-feet large-scale installation using 15,000 Japanese bamboo strips. Being the fourth in a lineage of bamboo artists, Chikuunsai continues the family tradition and technique of bamboo weaving in his artworks and installations, while passing down generations of knowledge to his apprentices.
