Tea-Ceremony Chest (Chadansu)
Nakata Kinseki Japanese
Not on view
Active in eastern Japan, Iizuka Rōkansai (1890–1958) was the charismatic leader of a new generation of bamboo artists who pushed the boundaries of the traditional medium and developed a rich lexicon of novel shapes, techniques, and styles. Kinseki, one of Rōkansai’s lesser-known disciples, created this striking tea-ceremony chest using his master’s signature embroidered-plaiting technique (take sashi-ami).
