Dive into the world of sustainable luxury with SHIKADA Sangyo’s latest additions to our bamboo craft weave collection. Introducing the 102 SHIN-YAHIME and 321 SHIN-HAKUBAI, each crafted to blend traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary design needs. These unique materials are not only aesthetically pleasing but also embody our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

102 SHIN-YAHIME features a refined structure with approximately 6 mm between warp threads, making the warp more pronounced and reducing set-up time significantly. This design enhances visibility of the intricate cloud patterns unique to the craft, using bamboo nodes to create a distinctive houndstooth pattern.

 

 

321 SHIN-HAKUBAI takes innovation further by incorporating ‘twisted weaving’—a technique where bamboo strips, with their skin thinly peeled, are alternately woven in front and back on a foot loom. This method allows for a uniform fabric that expresses a wave pattern through the bamboo nodes, symbolizing ‘eternity’ and ‘longevity.’

Embrace these exquisite materials that perfectly marry functionality with environmental responsibility, crafted for those who cherish quality and sustainability.”
