Shounsai Shono:
120 years since his birth / 50 years since his death

Shounsai Shono was the first living National Treasure in the field of bamboo art. This exhibition commemorates the 120th anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of his death, presenting a complete overview of his work. Introducing the development of a wide range of his styles - from his early works in the Chinese style, to more technical works that incorporate comb-weaving into classical compositions, the exhibition also features sculptural works that boldly use this technique, and others from his later years that utilise the simple beauty of bamboo.
