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.
