Not on viewFujinuma Noboru began his adult life working as a technical specialist for a camera corporation but realized on a trip abroad as a young man that he wanted to devote himself to something that better represented the richness of Japanese culture. Inspired by the works of Shono Shounsai, Fujinuma turned to bamboo art. His works are marked by technical precision and elegant finishes, characteristics evident even in this informal hanging basket
