Shizuoka Bamboo Craft Cooperative Association

The "Rising Clouds" vase is created using the historic 800-year-old Shizuoka bamboo craftsmanship techniques. This vase features extremely thin bamboo strips, processed to just 0.6 mm, layered in a pattern that evokes rising clouds. Mastery of unique bending and joining techniques is essential, requiring craftsmen to undergo 5 to 10 years of training. This piece is popular as an interior item made from natural materials, admired for its artistry and the delicacy of its construction.
