The Shizuoka Bamboo Craft Cooperative, comprising 12 craftsmen based in Shizuoka City, specializes in the traditional "Suruga Bamboo Fine Stripe Work" using finely split bamboo. Since 1976, they have been handcrafting delicate flower containers and lighting using this technique, which boasts an 800-year tradition. They blend this age-old craft with modern design to suit contemporary decorative needs.
Suruga Bamboo Craft, originating from the Suruga region in Shizuoka Prefecture, is celebrated for its intricate technique and aesthetic, tracing back to Fujian Province, China, during the 13th century. This craft, which became prominent in the mid-Edo period, involves creating delicate items from numerous thin bamboo strips. Known for its utilization of 'nigatake' and 'moso' bamboo, characterized by straight internodes, Suruga artisans excel in weaving these into elaborate patterns, requiring 5-10 years to master. Continually adapting, Suruga Bamboo Craft now enriches modern interior design with items like vases and lanterns, preserving its rich heritage and cultural value.
Experience the elegance of Suruga Bamboo Craft at Millennium Gallery Japan, where the legacy of intricate bamboo weaving meets contemporary design. Our collection features vases and lanterns, each piece a testament to the mastery of artisans who blend centuries-old techniques with modern aesthetics, embodying the seamless fusion of history and innovation.
