Unique piece

When looking at the nesting behavior of animals in nature from the perspective of “instinctive behavior”, I found that, just like the art of bamboo weaving developed from instinctive human behavior, “nest” symbolizes a sense of security for every living individual, who gains something from each other in communication with the outside world, so as to continue to thrive. When one is on a hard ride, he’s often confused about the meaning of wandering and his destination. Even though he has gained nothing at all despite seeing magnificent mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, and the vast plains, when he comes home like a tired bird returning to its nest, he may still feel contented and that his journey was worthwhile.
