Master Tetsunori
Kawana is an internationally renowned practitioner of contemporary
Japanese bamboo sculpture. For more than 30 years he has travelled
worldwide by invitation to create breathtaking bamboo installations
of a spectacular scale unseen in the related traditional practice
of Ikebana. This winter, the Grollo-Equiset Garden at NGV
International will be transformed by Master Kawana through his
creation of Five Elements – Water, a unique bamboo
sculpture of vast physical proportion and lyrical
power.

Kabuki
Theatre Posters
by Torii
Kiyotada VIII (1900-1976)
From the famous Torii family, the primary lineage of
artists and promoters associated with the Kabuki Theatre houses
since the early C17th. The family is partly responsible for
bringing the rich Kabuki culture from Osaka to Edo (Tokyo) in the
late C17th. The family's work had great influence on the ukiyo-e
woodblock print movement, and some kabuki posters are still
produced by members of the family today.
Four paintings dating to the 1960s, 146cm x 92cm.
Currently offered unframed.
(two earlier posters from the family are also available).
