About this work
Morigami Jin was born in the bamboo-producing town of Beppu to parents who were also bamboo artists. His work Big wave is a simple and elegant basket that has been made with an irregular combination of twined (nawame) and twill (ajiro) plaiting. Its large, undulating shape and woven horizontal weave – which gives it a slightly see-through appearance – create a rhythm of lines that give the impression of flowing water or ocean waves.
