Japanese Bamboo Art: An interview with Tanabe Chikuunsai IV

Japanese artist Tanabe Chikuunsai IV pushes the boundaries of bamboo art. He dramatically breaks the scale that we expect of the medium with soaring, twisting forms that stretch from floor to ceiling. His dramatic, immersive environments evoke the bamboo forests where these works began their lives. View his site-specific work at the Asian Art Museum from May 31 through Aug. 25, 2019.
