Bamboo & Washi

This bamboo structure was made during a Sogetsu class.  It’s a signature craft taught by Katsuko Sensei, where we glue washi (Japanese rice paper) to midollino (rattan sticks) and assemble them into irregular triangles. Watching her split bamboo into sixths with a traditional bamboo splitter was fascinating.  Floral materials are in water tubes.
