The devoted work of human artistry turns this bamboo into a living dragonfly.
Bamboo has always been used in various ways by people.
But exactly the human imagination turns it into special and meaningful artifacts.
What is born from the human hand becomes an expression of this connection between the material and the genius.
The material for this creation is being delivered from Wakayama, Japan.
The master first cuts the bamboo into the desired form.
A really fine work is being done.
Which part of the dragonfly will this become?
The making process requires also sense of balance.
Soldering iron is used to bend the bamboo.
And that’s how to final work looks – a gentle perfection!
