Description

This strainer is crafted entirely from premium bamboo sourced in Oita Prefecture, Japan. From the step each stalk is harvested to the final intricate weave, it undergoes more than ten expert processes, resulting in a piece that feels both organic and exquisitely refined. The reverse side preserves the bamboo’s natural grain, while the front boasts a luxuriously smooth, lustrous finish, offering a beautifully tactile experience.

Handcrafted from natural bamboo strips that exude a warm, tactile charm—each edge gently rounded for comfort—this piece lets light filter through its weave, casting dappled shadows that bring organic elegance to your table. In Japanese culture, bamboo’s rapid, upright growth symbolizes prosperity, while the interlocking hexagons of the kikko (tortoise-shell) pattern convey wishes for longevity, abundance, and good fortune.

Beyond its primary use as a strainer, this versatile piece also doubles as an elegant tray, seamlessly pairing with an array of sauce dishes. Whether you’re presenting aromatic tempura or arranging tea-time treats, its refined form brings both functionality and natural beauty to every table.

Bamboo Crafts

Bamboo has been actively planted throughout Japan for centuries. Flexible, strong, and versatile, bamboo is an indispensable part of Japanese culture and daily life.

The plant plays a crucial role in Japanese tableware, used as the base material for chopsticks, tea ceremony tools, and lightweight, portable items like baskets and bento boxes.

Young bamboo can match the height of mature bamboo in just three months, and completes its growth in just three years, making it a permanently replenishing natural resource.
