With a Bamboo, ailing –
My dreams roam about
In a bamboo forest.
“Sho-chiku-bai”, literally meaning “Pine, Bamboo and Plum”, are traditionally considered as symbols of happiness in Japan. Both of these three plants are strong in the cold and called “Saikan-no-san-yu(歳寒の三友)” in Chinese. Especially the bamboo had been used in Southeast Asia as the material of the folkcraft such as baskets, but it was not recognized as an artistic material. However, he pursued bamboo art as one field of art including ceramic art. We would like you to see this site as a gallery that pursued utmost beauty of the bamboo. Enjoy your visit.
