Yamachiku

Yamachiku is a Kyushu-based manufacturer specializing in bamboo chopsticks. The region's warm climate provides ideal conditions for bamboo, with Kyushu accounting for about forty percent of Japan’s total forested area of bamboo. Since its founding in 1963, Yamachiku has remained committed to creating products that fully utilize this versatile material. While bamboo can be challenging to work with, the company’s deep knowledge and expertise have allowed it to craft durable, high-quality chopsticks with precision.

Bamboo Crafts for a Cool Summer

Bamboo has been lovingly cultivated across Japan for centuries. Light, strong, and naturally cooling to the touch, it brings a quiet elegance and a refreshing sense of calm, perfect for long, sun-drenched summer days.

From chopsticks and tea ceremony tools to breezy baskets and bento boxes, bamboo crafts shape many essentials of Japanese life, especially in warmer months when simplicity and breathability matter most.

Growing to full height in just three months and maturing in three years, Japanese bamboo is a fast-renewing natural resource—quietly echoing the fresh, fleeting rhythm of summer.
