Beautifully lined with bamboo strips, this vase is made of Suruga Bamboo Basketry, a traditional craft of Shizuoka Prefecture, with an image of Mt. Fuji. The gradation of colors is also reminiscent of Mt. Fuji, whose color becomes whiter with snow as it reaches the top of the mountain.

It is designed to make to enjoy the wonderful craftsmanship casually, and its dignified lines are beautiful and complement the flowers of the season. The simple design, which can be placed anywhere, matches any interior and will be appreciated as a gift. 

Please wipe dust and dirt with a soft brush and a squeezed dish towel.
Do not wash it in water or hot water.
Use in a dry, well-ventilated place to enhance the natural luster unique to bamboo. 

The attached mat is a product of the traditional local technique of "Suruga Wazome" (Japanese dyeing). The pattern on each piece is unique and no two are alike. We hope you can feel the warmth of the cloth and the soft lines of the handwork.
Please wash by hand gently as they are hand-dyed as the color may fade slightly due to hand-dyeing.

Suruga Bamboo Basketry is a traditional bamboo craft with a history of over 400 years, made in the area around Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was designated a national traditional craft in 1976.

A single craftsman uses their skills to assemble the bamboo strips one by one. The moist, smooth, and delicate curves create a calm and soft moment as a favorite daily tool and an interior decoration.
