Bamboo Artistry Unveiled

Suruga Bamboo Crafts, or "Suruga Take Sensuji Zaiku," is a traditional art form originating from the Suruga region in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with roots tracing back to the Edo period. Craftsmen migrated to Suruga, bringing their bamboo weaving expertise, and over the centuries, distinctive techniques like "Sensuji Zaiku" evolved, involving the intricate weaving of thin bamboo strips. 

Over the centuries, Suruga bamboo weavers developed distinctive techniques, including "Sensuji Zaiku," which involves splitting bamboo into thin strips and weaving them together to create intricate patterns. This craft flourished due to the region's abundant bamboo resources and unique climate, producing high-quality bamboo well-suited for weaving. Today, Suruga Bamboo Crafts showcases a diverse range of both functional and artistic pieces, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship and cultural significance of this enduring tradition.

A collective of 12 skilled artisans based in Shizuoka City, specializing in Suruga Bamboo Sen-suji-zaiku.
