Chikufusha (bamboo craft-making experience)
Chikufusha is a bamboo craft workshop in Beppu, Oita Prefecture. Beppu is known as the home of the Oita Prefectural Bamboo Crafts Training Center, the only training school for bamboo craftsmen in Japan. The workshop sells not only everyday items, but also many works of art. The items, including serving dishes and handled baskets for everyday use, are simple yet beautiful, fusing tradition with a modern aesthetic. In the bamboo craft-making experience, each bamboo strip is transformed into a powerful three-dimensional object through the repetitive processes of pressing, scooping, and weaving. You can experience up close the traditional Japanese craft of transforming a single, supple line into a beautiful shape. The bamboo crafts, which exude the warmth of handmade objects, are also perfect as souvenirs.
