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.

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.
