京銘竹 御池
The traditional art of woven bamboo.
|
Due to the harsh conditions of the hot/cold Kyoto climate, bamboo in Kyoto is especially hearty and suited to making delicate yet strong items. In the heart of historical Kyoto starting in the 1200s, this bamboo was first used for making tea ceremony utensils and ikebana tools but soon became utilized for a wider range of products including home furniture. However, due to its origins in the tea ceremony, the signature feature of Kyoto bamboo products is the civilized and delicate design. On the first floor of our company, experience making beautiful bamboo baskets yourself and enjoy visiting our tearoom at the conclusion of the lesson. 寒暖の差が激しく、肥沃な土壌の京都には良質の竹が育ち、それらの加工品は京都府の伝統工芸品にも指定されています。1200年近くの歴史ある京都の竹工芸品は、茶道具や華道用具をはじめ日本の室内装飾品など幅広い用途に用いられています。特に茶の湯文化と深い関わりを持つことから、洗練されたデザインと繊細な細工が特徴です。 会社の1フロアを使って行われているのが、重なり合う曲線が美しい竹かごを編む体験。体験後はお茶室の見学もできます。 |
