Katsuyama takezaiku 勝山竹細工 bamboo craft from Katsuyama town
Often from 月田地区 Tsukida area.
- quote -
Katsuyama Take Zaiku use madake bamboo growing around Maniwa City.
Originally, the main products were そうけ souke, open weave baskets, used in daily life and farm work. Four types of basket are known as typical Katsuyama Take Zaiku:
大ぞうげ ouzouke for storing grain, みぞうけ mizouke to carry vegetables and other crops,
米あげぞうけ komeage-zouke for draining washed rice, and
飯ぞうけ meshi-zouke to hang rice under the eaves and prevent damage.
Today, in keeping with modern times, popular additions to the range are bread baskets, hand baskets, and flower vases.
Katsuyama Take Zaiku are distinguished by their durability and ease of use and they are particularly known for using minimally processed green bamboos. Other region's madake crafts are made of bamboo heated over a fire or boiled, but Katsuyama Take Zaiku use completely untreated green bamboo; this production method has been traditionally passed down for many generations. These simple and solidly-made bamboo baskets make the best use of the natural beauty of green bamboo, and with the passage of time, the color changes to a cognac amber.
- History
It is thought that the production techniques of Katsuyama Take Zaiku were established around 1860. However, as the baskets in those days were utilitarian, today only a few examples have survived. For this reason, it is difficult to give a specific year of origin, but in old documents of the Yamatani family considered to be written around 1860, and in an application for a sake brewery license in 1877, we find the mention of harisouki bamboo baskets and kamesofuke used to store or carry grain. This would indicate that by at least the end of the Edo period Katsuyama Take Zaiku were widely available and distributed. Moreover, it is known in those days, some households invited bamboo basket makers to stay for several days to make baskets for a whole year, which tells us that bamboo ware were essential for people's daily life and farm work. The crafts were sold in the Chugoku region by peddlers, and because of their high practicality, they were much appreciated as daily living necessities; over the years they spread throughout the country.
In 1979, Katsuyama Take Zaiku was designated as a national traditional craft.
