Summary:
Basketry is one of Japan’s oldest art forms. Since the eighth century, meticulously woven bamboo baskets have served daily functions, first in Buddhist liturgy and later in the tea ceremony. Over the past two centuries, bamboo art has risen to the status of fine art, with leading makers creating coveted works for ikebana and, more recently, sculptural objects celebrated as contemporary art. This elegant, richly illustrated volume presents over 160 baskets, highlighting their spectacular silhouettes and exquisite details—from complex weaving patterns and refined signatures to intricately plaited undersides. Informative captions reveal the techniques of an art now enjoying renewed attention, as bamboo offers a durable and ecological alternative to disposable materials. Most photographs were taken against specially conceived backdrops recalling the enigmatic architectural spaces of Giorgio de Chirico, while others show baskets with contemporary flower arrangements set before industrial waste-processing facilities, underscoring the book’s advocacy for bamboo as a renewable resource that challenges our throwaway plastic culture.

Summary:
Since 1993, Peter Steinhauer has documented the many facets of Asian culture, with a keen eye for architecture, urban landscape, and man-made structures and environments. On his first visit to Hong Kong in 1994, arriving at the old Kai Tak International Airport, Steinhauer noticed a very large structure encaged in bamboo and swathed in yellow material standing out beneath a canopy of clouds, glowing against the monochromatic, urban skyline. Hong Kong is the final stronghold of the bamboo scaffolders who once practiced their trade at construction sites throughout Asia. Reproduced in this book are 100 images that reflect Steinhauer's fascination with these hauntingly beautiful and monumental edifices, their bamboo scaffolding draped in brightly hued material.
