The Weaver’s Art: Comparing the Traditions of Basket Weavers from the Japanese and California Indian Cultures
Takeo Tanabe

The Library will play host to a new cultural event highlighting the history, culture and art of basket weaving from both sides of the Pacific. Julia Parker, who is Kashaya Pomo (her Native American lineage) and a cultural interpreter with the Indian Cultural Program at Yosemite National Park, will speak about and demonstrate the craft of basket weaving in the California Indian traditions. Takeo Tanabe, whose art name, Shochiku, means "Little Bamboo", is, at 33, the youngest of the longest continuous lineage of Japanese bamboo artists. He will talk about his family traditions and techniques as well as demonstrate bamboo preparation and plaiting techniques.
