Meet the Artisan

Suruga Bamboo Sensuji Zaiku

A collective of 12 skilled artisans based in Shizuoka City, specializing in Suruga Bamboo Sen-suji-zaiku. This traditional craft involves meticulously crafting delicate items such as vases, insect cages, and confectionery vessels from thinly split bamboo, woven and braided using time-honored techniques. The roots of these craftsmen date back to 1840 when Suganuma Kazumasa passed on his skills to Shimizu Inobei, an innkeeper in Shizuoka.

These incredibly talented artisans, certified by the Association for the Promotion of Traditional Crafts Industries, inherited unique techniques from the Edo period, adapting them to modern needs. Their creations, ranging from lighting fixtures to interior products, seamlessly integrate the supple curves of bamboo into everyday life, offering a gentle and timeless presence. With gratitude for your understanding of Suruga Bamboo Sensuji Zaiku, their craftsmen, five of whom hold the esteemed title of traditional craftsman, continue to produce works appreciated both locally and globally.
