1,100 Years of Tradition: Kyoto Bamboo Craft and Japanese Aesthetics
The bamboo craftsmanship nurtured in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, is a harmonious blend of over 1,100 years of traditional techniques and contemporary design. The bamboo, shaped by Kyoto's dynamic seasonal changes, takes 4 to 5 years to mature and is harvested at its peak in autumn. After harvesting, it undergoes natural drying, oil removal, and long-term storage, transforming into a durable and beautiful material. The creation of bamboo products is completed through delicate processing techniques and lacquer finishing, resulting in works that combine functionality and artistry, enriching our daily lives. This sustainable traditional craft is a quintessential embodiment of Japanese aesthetics, reflecting harmony with nature.

Takano Chikko: Kyoto's Legacy of Bamboo Craftsmanship for Modern Living
Based in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, Takano Chikko upholds the rich tradition of bamboo craftsmanship, particularly in tea ceremony utensils, while creating products that cater to modern lifestyles. Their skilled artisans carefully select locally sourced bamboo and dedicate themselves to meticulous processes such as drying and oil removal, ensuring the highest quality in every creation. With a commitment to sustainable bamboo forest management and environmentally conscious production methods, their diverse lineup ranges from tea utensils to everyday items. Each piece, blending the natural beauty of bamboo with masterful craftsmanship, embodies the history of bamboo culture and the spirit of Kyoto, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness to daily life.

Wabi-Sabi Elegance: Handcrafted Bamboo Japanese Sake Set from Kyoto
This bamboo sake set is a masterpiece crafted by skilled artisans of bamboo craft from Nagaoka, Kyoto. Using locally sourced bamboo, the artisans meticulously hand-select and harvest each piece, followed by an extensive process of drying and removing moisture over 5 to 10 years.

It ensures that warm sake can be enjoyed without the discomfort of heat, while cold sake offers a pleasantly smooth touch. The distinct texture and evolving character of the natural material bring to life the profound beauty of wabi-sabi. This exceptional item enhances any dining experience, making it perfect for both everyday use and special celebratory occasions.
