$197

An exquisite, hand-crafted Japanese sweets container (kashiki) made from premium madake bamboo, showcasing traditional Suruga bending and weaving techniques by the Ranrinbo workshop.

Description

Bring the elegant artistry of Shizuoka to your home with this exquisite bamboo kashiki (a traditional Japanese confectionery serving vessel). Hand-crafted by the renowned Ranrinbo workshop, this piece represents the pinnacle of Suruga Take Zaiku (Suruga bamboo craft), a traditional technique distinguished by its use of delicate, rounded bamboo splints and precise heat-bending.

Masterful Weaving Techniques

This vessel showcases a stunning combination of classic Japanese bamboo-weaving styles:

  • Base: Features a beautifully structured ajiro-ami (herringbone wickerwork) pattern.
  • Lid: Combines ajiro-ami with nankin-ami (a fine, intricate weaving technique) for a refined double-layered texture.
  • Knob: The handle on the lid is carefully fashioned from natural ne-take (bamboo root), adding a rustic, organic touch.

Premium Materials and Finish

The container is made from premium, oil-cleansed madake (Japanese giant timber bamboo). It features a natural, slightly warm yellow hue preserved by a clear protective urethane coating that ensures durability while highlighting the natural beauty of the wood.

Dimensions & Care

  • Dimensions: 240 mm (width) x 240 mm (length) x 120 mm (total height). The vessel has a functional depth of approximately 60 mm.
  • Care: As this is a natural, handmade bamboo product, please avoid washing or soaking it in water or hot water. Clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or highly humid environments to prevent warping or discoloration.
