Abura-nuki (Oil draining)
- Technique

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 shiny surface, made by sun-drying and polishing after removing its oil contents. This bamboo material is widely used for fences, architecture, tea utensils as well as craft works.
