Hatakeyama Seido
Hatakeyama clan was a Japanese samurai clan, it is unknown weather this artist first name explains his ancestry.  While a child hood accident took the use of his right leg he was encouraged to take up bamboo design and sculpture. Until discovered and revered as a designer he was making souvenirs for tourists to enjoy. I love the how he challenges himself with each and every design. His pliant knots and strands of bamboo that have been gleaned from the plant itself transform into true museum and corrector quality pieces of art. This artist and designer does not seem to have a web site. Feel free to post his website here if one does come to fruition. Thanks
