Nagakura Kenichi treats bamboo as a purely sculptural medium. His unconventional, organic forms, sometimes accented with pieces of found wood, are coated with finishes of his own creation. This work is from a series of baskets resembling slumped pottery vessels. The hanging basket titled Pure is by the same artist.
