This airy … more A contemporary Japanese bamboo sculpture entitled Light at Dawn (Gyoko) made in 2004 by Kawano Shoko (B. 1957). This airy piece is unconventional in form for not being a basket but a pure none-functional sculptural form. Constructed with madake, smoked nemagari dake (hobichiku) and rattan, using a combination of sukashi-ajiro (open twill plaiting), thousand-line construction, twining and circular plaiting.
The piece is signed to the inside inner rim in incised characters Shoko, together with the original wood storage box (tomobako) signed with title and wrapping cloth with sealed Shoko.
See a nearly identical piece in the Lloyd Cotsen Japanese Bamboo Basket Collection, see page 73 of the book "Master of Bamboo" by Rinne.
From an important UK collection. Provenance available to the buyer. less
