鳥居一峯造 「陽光」|Sunshine
Torii Ippō
1982 · Timber bamboo and rattan · Asian Art
Torii Ippō began making copies of his father’s baskets after the latter’s death. A visit in 1959 to an exhibition of works from the Shōsōin Treasure House in Nara was a watershed moment for the young artist, in particular seeing an eighth-century ceremonial basket in perfect condition. Inspired to commit himself to his father’s profession, he eventually submitted works to both the Nitten and the Japanese Modern Craft and Art exhibitions. He used two types of thousand-line construction (kushime- and senjō-ami) to make Sunshine.
