RESOURCE

Sashi-mutsume-ami

A technique in which thinly made bamboo strips are embroidered by using mutsume-ami (hexagonal weave) and its derivative asanoha-ami (hemp leaf weave) as a foundation.
Abura-nuki (Oil draining)
- Technique
The process of removing excess oil and water from green bamboo when making bamboo materials. There are two methods: “dry”, which uses a charcoal fire or gas burner, and “wet,” which uses boiling water to boil. The dry type, which increases the durability of bamboo, is suitable for materials such as bamboo fences, and the wet type, which makes the bamboo pliable, is suitable for intricate weaving.
Shira-take (White bamboo)
- Material
A bamboo with a beautiful gloss. Selected high-quality ma-dake bamboo is put through a degreasing process and is sun-dried to finish. It is used in a wide range of applications including bamboo fences, architecture, tea ceremony utensils, and bamboo crafts.
