Takano Chikko, a Kyoto-based artisanal workshop, excels in crafting traditional Japanese tea ceremony tools and everyday items, utilizing sustainable bamboo and ancient woods. Their dedication to quality, environmental conservation, and innovative use of diverse materials reflects a deep commitment to preserving Kyoto's rich cultural heritage in bamboo craft.

Takano Chikko harvests bamboo from Kyoto's bamboo forests, which are preserved by some of Japan's few remaining specialist bamboo loggers, with sustainability in mind. The bamboo used for products like Bamboo Tea Cups and Sake Sets is carefully degreased one by one after harvesting and then undergoes a drying process under the artisan's supervision for five years before being crafted into products. Handcrafted by artisans specializing in bamboo craft, these bamboo cups and sake vessels reflect the beauty of natural materials and the history of Kyoto's bamboo crafting techniques.
