Note du spécialiste

Ueda Shounsai apprenticed to Tanabe Chiku'unsai I (1877-1937), one of the most important bamboo artists working in the first half of the 20th century in Osaka Prefecture. Shounsai used some lacquered bamboo arrow shafts to construct vertical lines on this basket which is the technique originally developed by Chiku'unsai III (1941-2014).
