Shizuoka Bamboo Craft: 800 Years of Timeless Japanese Artistry

Shizuoka Bamboo Craft is a traditional Japanese art form with a history spanning 800 years. It originated in the mid-1200s, evolving from techniques introduced from China, and is characterized by its unique methods of splitting bamboo into strips as fine as 1mm to create intricate patterns and forms. Today, 12 master artisans belonging to the Shizuoka Bamboo Craft Cooperative uphold this heritage, handcrafting pieces such as flower vases and lighting fixtures that seamlessly integrate with modern lifestyles. It is said to take 5 to 10 years of training to become a skilled artisan, and the exceptional craftsmanship and delicate beauty of Shizuoka bamboo work are highly acclaimed both in Japan and internationally.
