Description
A large and impressive woven bamboo sculpture by Japanese bamboo artist Yamaguchi Ryuun (born 1940-) entitled "Black Wave". The piece was made in 2000 and originally purchased from Tai Modern, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Made from kurochiku (black bamboo) using free-hand irregular plaiting, bending and wrapping techniques, the piece takes an abstract shape that resembles wave. It is still a vessel form that can be used as a large scale ikebana. Signed underneath.
