Bespoke Japanese Craftsmanship Journeys to the UK: A Fusion of Tradition and Elegance

 

We are proud to announce the completion of a very special commission for a private residence in Hereford, United Kingdom. This bespoke Sudare (traditional Japanese bamboo blind) represents the pinnacle of our craftsmanship, blending two of our signature series, SHIKISAI and MANYO.

Every detail of this piece was carefully selected to harmonize with its future home in a historic British setting:

  • Texture 415: A refined weave that offers a delicate play of light and shadow.

  • Border Fabric H9: A classic pattern that adds a touch of understated luxury.

At our workshop, we take immense pride in seeing our traditional techniques transcend borders. It is a privilege to contribute to this beautiful interior in the UK, bridging the aesthetic traditions of East and West.

Crafting Elegance: Sustainable Sudare Blinds with Custom Edges

 

“Delve into the craftsmanship of Shikada Sangyo, where each sudare blind reflects over a century of artisanal excellence blended with modern sustainability. In our workshop, traditional hand-stitching techniques are not just preserved; they are perfected. Our craftsmen meticulously stitch every edge by hand, ensuring custom sizes that machine stitching can’t achieve. This results in blinds that perfectly fit our customers’ specifications without compromising the beauty of the fabric.

The hand-stitching process, showcased in detailed videos on our Instagram, involves a unique invisible stitch technique, ensuring that the threads remain unseen, allowing the chosen edges to seamlessly integrate into the fabric. This meticulous approach prevents sagging and maintains the aesthetic integrity of every piece.

We have noticed a rising trend in custom orders, especially from overseas clients, who request blinds with specific edged designs. Responding to these demands, we offer a diverse range of 28 different edge types to cater to various tastes and interior designs. Each order is crafted to meet individual preferences, showcasing our commitment to fulfilling customer desires to the fullest.

Explore our sustainable practice that not only preserves the beauty and quality of natural bamboo but also supports environmental consciousness. Follow us on Instagram to see our artisans in action, bringing each customer’s vision to life, one stitch at a time.”
