| 1994.031.004 | Basketry Band | Circular Band Woven band of brown and yellowed dyed grass fiber. Yellow fiber forms geo- metric designs through imbrication. Yellow fiber was sewn on both edges around the band to form a border. There are four decorative panels. The smallest panel has 8 horizontal lines in the center of it. It is bordered by 4 vertical lines: two on each side. Largest panel is bordered by chevrons, then subdivided into 4 sections; in each section, centered in the middle are 2 yellow triangles and 2 brown ones. The next panel is predominantly yellow. In the center of it is a diamond that has been divided into yellow and brown triangle. There is also a yellow triangle above and below the diamond. There are 2 brown zigzag shapes on each side of the diamond. There are 2 yellow triangles bordering on each side of the zigzags. The triangle points face each zigzag. The last panel is bordered on both edges by chevrons. In the center panel, space is divided by three sets of double diagonal lines. 2 brown triangles were created by the diagonal spacing. At both edges are 2 yellow triangles. There is a brown stripe above and below the center panel. The band is also joined together in this panel. |

| 1994.031.005 | Iron | Iron Chinese Vessel Cast bronze pot-like vessel with handle and wood & stone handle grip. The rim of the bowl is uneven. It slants higher in the back near the handle than in front. The vessel handle is supported underneath by an undecorated leg. The end of the handle is a piece of opaque, light colored jade stone.

Inside the added strands of grass ends stick up slightly and form zigzag lines that allows for the expanding bottom. The sides have a uniform herringbone pattern. The basket was woven twice as tall as the com- pleted product. The top edge was designed to be folded over to the basket floor. The extra layer reinforces the basket wall and gives a finished rim. The weaving allows the basket rim to tilt inward. There are 3 brown stains. B: Basket lid has a small square start and concentric herringbone patterns circle out from the square. Lid edge is simply finished and the sides are woven in herringbone pattern. There are 7 brown stains inside the lid. There is 1 large hole on the edge of the lid and a smaller one. |

| 1994.031.008 | Basket | CYLINDRICAL BASKET made of flat split grass, various weaves, patterned border Spokes of split grass are crossed over in a star configuration in the center of the basket bottom. A small circle has been formed around the star by twining. There are 2 other concentric circles. On the outside the effect is decorative; inside the basket additions of split grass are noticeable. The decorative concentric circle patterns have been made by weaving over more than 1 spoke at a time. The side of the basket has been highly, yet subtlely decorated. On the top half of the side, there are 2 stripes of twining made by reversing the weave. There are also patterns made by weaving darker and lighter colored grasses together to form motifs. (Grasses are faded somewhat) Directly under the basket rim there are chevrons horizontally circling around the side of the basket. The bottom edge of all the chevrons meet a stripe. Underneath this stripe is a thinner stripe and then another stripe that is the same thickness as the original one. There are 2 sets of diagonal lines that point towards each other; separated by a horizontal stripe, pointing in oppo- site direction of chevrons. Final stripe near bottom edge of basket. The rim is of bamboo wrapped with grass. Lozenge shaped design circles rim. |

| 1994.031.014 | Fan | Folding Fan Painted fan of paper with bamboo spokes. Decorated with a Daruma painted in black ink, red tempera and pencil, in Zen style with the painting extending over several bamboo sticks. The sticks are held together by a small black plastic pin.

Daruma is the Japanese name for Dharma, an Indian priest who founded the Zen sect of Buddhism. He is a popular relgious figure, famed for his meditation practice. His image is particularly associated with new year celebrations. The dynamic brushwork and religious theme is reminiscent of Otsu-e. In the 17th C. artisans in the town of Otsu began to sell religiously inspired crafts to Buddhist travelers since the town was a major stop on the pilgrimage route to Kyoto.
