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 boards 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.
When making birdcages or insect cages, round bamboo strips are typically used. This page introduces flat bamboo boards—each 24 mm wide, crafted in two thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm.
Each strip is 900 mm (35.4″) in total length.From left to right in the photo: 5 mm thick and 3 mm thick.This is the 3 mm thickness. Although thinner than the 5 mm, it still has sufficient strength. It is better to cut or shape it using a small saw rather than scissors or pliers.This is the 5 mm thickness. It has a solid feel, allowing you to sense both the strength and flexibility of bamboo.Although these bamboo boards are straight overall, they are natural materials, so slight bends or curves may occur. Please note that these are not defects but natural characteristics of bamboo.Each piece of bamboo also contains natural nodes at varying intervals,and the position or number of these nodes cannot be specified.You may occasionally notice dark spots or marks that appear as stains, caused by small surface scratches or natural patterns in the bamboo skin.Please be assured that these are part of the material’s natural texture, not defects.
Because of its simplicity, this material offers endless creative possibilities depending on your ideas. You can combine multiple pieces, create your own forms, dye them, or cut them into short rectangular pieces—there are many ways to enjoy working with them.
Each board is available for purchase individually. For bulk orders or custom requests, please contact us through the inquiry form.
You can fully experience the natural flexibility and strength unique to bamboo— please enjoy using it in your own creative way.
