This exhibition features more than 30 museum quality bamboo baskets and sculptures from the collection of Portland resident Peter Shinbach, along with pieces loaned by TAI Modern in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the leading Japanese bamboo art gallery in North America.
The collection includes work by Living National Treasure bamboo artists, many from the Kansai region with an emphasis of 12-15 baskets by Kyoto artists.
