| Six members
of the Edo Traditional Craftsmen Association will visit Australia
to hold demonstrations showcasing a range of handicrafts from the
Edo period (1600-1868). Bamboo screens, embroidery, paper lanterns,
traditional tortoiseshell accessories, elegant craft scissors used
for art forms such as bonsai and ikebana, and tsumami kanzashi,
a delicate hair accessory which accompanies the kimono, will all be
on display. The craftsmen will demonstrate how through precision and
expert techniques, they are able to turn utilitarian objects into
fine works of art.
A one-day demonstration will be held at the Japan Foundation Gallery
as well as at other venues around Sydney.
