DESIGN TALKS - Season 2 Episode 3 Bamboo
Since ancient times, bamboo has played an important role both in the everyday life of the Japanese and in the nation's culture and art. Bamboo can be seen everywhere, not only as the material for many kinds of products, but as a widespread motif in arts and crafts symbolizing, for example, auspicious events. Even today, bamboo is integral to life in Japan, used in everything from food to clothing and housing. Our guest, Tatsuyuki Kosuga, 5th generation owner of a 116-year old bamboo craft shop (founded 1898), will be our guide to the traditional bamboo designs still seen today and the innovative uses bamboo has inspired in modern designers.
