In Hyogo Prefecture, bamboo craft has a long history. In addition to bamboo, some artisans continue the tradition of woven crafts using other natural materials such as koriyanagi.
At the same time, there are also craftspeople who cherish Moso bamboo—which is not well suited for fine weaving—as an important material. They use it for food such as bamboo shoots, for New Year’s decorations called kadomatsu, and for making cutlery that takes advantage of its thick, dense texture.
It is said that Moso bamboo was first transplanted to Hyogo Prefecture in the late Edo period. Its ability to spread is extremely strong—sometimes even encroaching upon other plants and human living areas.
These bamboo strips are made from Moso bamboo, which in modern times is sometimes seen as a troublesome plant, yet carefully processed into fine, usable material.
The manufacturer originally produced many bamboo birdcages and insect cages. Although birdcage production has unfortunately been discontinued, their skill in shaping bamboo into precise strips remains at a high level today.
This page introduces round bamboo strips available in five diameters: 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm.
Each strip is 900 mm (35.4″) in total length.From left to right in the photo: 10 mm (1 cm), 8 mm, 6 mm, 4 mm, and 2 mm in diameter.This is the 2 mm size. It is the same thickness used for the narrow lattice pattern in the insect cage shown above. Extremely thin, it is suitable for delicate model work or fine craft projects. You can even cut it with scissors or small pliers.The 4 mm size is also fine, similar to the 2 mm. It might be possible to cut it with sturdy scissors, but using nippers or pliers would be better.This is the 6 mm size. It corresponds to the structural pillars of the insect cage in the photo above. At this thickness, you will need a strong pair of nippers or cutting tools.This is the 8 mm size. At this point, you can start to feel the natural strength and flexibility of bamboo. It could be used as a support for potted plants, for example. A small saw will work better than nippers when cutting.This is the 10 mm (1 cm) size. It has a solid firmness and dependable thickness. You can hang S-hooks on it for interior use, or use it as a plant stake. If you need to adjust the length, it’s best to cut it with a saw. You could also lay it horizontally and use S-hooks to hang lightweight items—it’s strong enough to support them.Although these bamboo strips are straight overall, they are natural materials, so slight bends or curves may occur. Please note that these are not defects, but natural variations in the material.
Because of its simplicity, this material offers endless creative possibilities depending on your ideas. You can also combine strips of different thicknesses to create baskets of your preferred size and shape.
Each strip is available for purchase individually. For bulk orders or custom sizes, please contact us through the inquiry form.
In addition to the flexibility and strength unique to bamboo, these round strips also offer a smooth and pleasant texture to the touch.
