Tide

Fujitsuka Shōsei Japanese

Not on view

Tide, a dynamic, airy sculpture by the Kanagawa-based bamboo artist Fujitsuka Shōsei, is made using the thousand-line construction method (kushime-ami). Shōsei quit his job to begin his apprenticeship after seeing bamboo works displayed in a shop window. Trained by Baba Shōdō (1925–1996, who had in turn been trained by Kosuge Shōchikudō), Shōsei is a highly individualistic artist whose style is difficult to categorize.
