At SHIKADA SANGYO, our commitment to the environment has deep roots. This bamboo screen, crafted in 1912, exemplifies our early dedication to utilizing sustainable natural materials. Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, was at the heart of our founding principles, and this piece stands as a historical testament to that commitment. The aged material tells a story of enduring beauty, while the enduring craftsmanship highlights the timeless appeal of eco-conscious design. Discover our environmental heritage.

 

The journey of our exceptional bamboo products begins in the serene bamboo forests. To further our understanding of this remarkable material, our team recently spent a day engaged in forest maintenance and harvesting.

This experience provided a unique opportunity to learn about the nuances of bamboo growth, the importance of careful management, and the vital role this natural resource plays in our craft. This firsthand knowledge enriches our work and strengthens our commitment to creating sustainable and high-quality products.

A Repair Request from America: A Testament to the Enduring Love for Bamboo Screens and the Revitalizing Power of Craftsmanship

 

We recently received a repair request from a valued customer in America who has been a long-time admirer of SHIKADA WOVEN’s products. The beloved bamboo screen they sent us showed signs of years of use, with some bamboo slats broken and what appeared to be paint adhered to the surface.

Upon seeing the condition of the screen, we were immediately driven by a strong desire to restore this cherished item to its former glory. Each SHIKADA WOVEN bamboo screen is crafted with care by the hands of Japanese artisans, imbued with their spirit and dedication. To reconnect this piece with its owner was a mission we embraced wholeheartedly.

The task fell to our seasoned artisans, who meticulously began the repair process. Broken bamboo slats were carefully removed, and the stubborn paint was patiently and diligently cleaned away. Working with natural bamboo requires years of experience and unwavering skill to navigate its delicate nature.

 

 

Due to the removal of the broken slats, the overall length of the screen was slightly reduced. However, our artisans skillfully rewove the bamboo, ensuring that the screen’s original character and aesthetic were preserved, breathing new life into the piece.

Once again, we were struck by the exceptional skill of SHIKADA WOVEN’s artisans. Their profound understanding of the material’s properties, honed over years of experience, is what makes such meticulous repairs possible.

More than anything, we are deeply grateful to customers like this one in America, who show such profound affection for their SHIKADA WOVEN bamboo screens that they entrust us with their repair, seeking to extend their lifespan.

It brings our artisans immense joy to know that our creations are cherished and accompany our customers through the passage of time. This experience reaffirms our commitment to honoring our customers’ sentiments and continuing to craft each product with the utmost care.

 

 

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who visited the “THE ZEN” project at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2025 in Las Vegas. This unique space, featuring our premium bamboo materials, was designed to embody the tranquility of Japanese Zen philosophy.

We were honored to contribute to this meditative retreat, showcasing the beauty and functionality of natural Japanese elements. We hope you found a moment of peace and inspiration within “THE ZEN.”

We are eager to collaborate with you on future projects that incorporate our high-quality bamboo materials, bringing a sense of serenity to your designs.

 

 

 

 

At SHIKADA SANGYO, we believe in going above and beyond for our customers. This custom order from Italy is a testament to our dedication to both artistry and service. Our skilled artisans meticulously hand-sewed the edges of this bamboo screen, ensuring an invisible thread finish, and crafted a unique 120cm tassel to our clients’ specifications.

We also understand the importance of careful packaging. These photos showcase the protective measures we take to ensure your custom pieces arrive in pristine condition. From our workshop to your doorstep, we handle every step with care.
