Exhibition: Bamboo
May 27 – September 9, 2018
The Bamboo exhibition explores the evolution of Japanese bamboo basketry from a purely functional art form into complicated, distinctly Japanese sculptural forms of variable scale.

This exhibition is supported by Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, with additional support from the Pasadena Art Alliance and the Cotsen Foundation for Academic Research.
