Comment from the creator

In Japan, it is said that tools that have been used for 100 years acquire spirituality and become deities of mourning, and since the Muromachi period, they have been depicted in otogi-zoshi or fairy tales, and have become familiar to people.
Crafts that have been used and embedded in people's daily lives since ancient times may have also become tsukemogami without our noticing.
In this issue of NFT, we are trying to imagine 20 traditional crafts from all over Japan as Tsukumogami(gods of mourning).
Please take a look and see if there is a Tsukemogami to your liking.

Introduction of each work

Suruga bamboo work

Bamboo crafts are made in and around Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
■Made in
Shizuoka
■Origin
High-quality bamboo has been growing wild in the upper reaches of the Abe River in Shizuoka since ancient times, and bamboo crafts have long been made here. The name "sen-suji-zaiku" comes from "sen-suji-zaiku," round strips of fine stripes said to line the width of a tatami mat of 3 shaku (about 90 cm).
■Characteristics
The most beautiful feature of this product is the curvaceous beauty of the thin bamboo strips that are knitted together one by one. A small hole is drilled in the bamboo, and an ultra-thin, round bamboo ladder made by a unique technique is inserted into the hole and assembled into any desired shape. The entire process, from making to assembling the bamboo strips, is almost entirely done by the hands of a single craftsman. The finished bamboo crafts bring out the color, luster, and texture of the bamboo, and the delicate curves of the rounded bamboo strips create a graceful suppleness that is very appealing.
