JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles, a Japanese cultural destination in Hollywood, is currently exhibiting “LIFE CYCLES: A Bamboo Exploration with Tanabe Chikuunsai IV,” on display through January 15, 2023.

In his first-ever Los Angeles exhibition, renowned Japanese contemporary artist Tanabe Chikuunsai IV pushes the boundaries of the bamboo art form with an immersive bamboo installation, constructed with 15,000 woven bamboo strips. Chikuunsai is a fourth-generation bamboo artist whose work reflects upon connections between humans and nature, present and past generations, and the cultures he brings together. Known for his massive works at museums and other venues around the world, this installation – totaling 70 feet long – is Chikuunsai’s longest installation to date. Visitors can engage with the dramatic, soaring form, viewing it from multiple angles as it twists and winds across the gallery.
