Surrounded by mountains, Kyoto experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, allowing thick, high-quality bamboo to grow. The harvesting, drying, degreasing, bleaching, and storage are all carried out slowly and carefully in the right environment. This traditional method ensures that Kyoto-grown bamboo, with its exquisite color, luster, shape, and texture, is used to create our chopsticks and chopstick rests. Based in Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, known as the "home of bamboo," our artisans have been crafting tea ceremony utensils for many years since our founding in 1968. Our traditional craftsmen, renowned for their exceptional skills, meticulously craft each and every piece. In recent years, our "Takumi no Kobo" (Artisan's Workshop) has combined traditional craftsmanship with contemporary art, leveraging their refined technical expertise to create high-quality products that utilize the unique qualities of bamboo and other natural materials.
