Takeami, the craft of bamboo-weaving, has been long practiced in Japan to create a wide variety of household items from baskets to trivets, as well as items specific to Japan’s culture of tea preparation and drinking, such as this bamboo tea strainer from Ōita Prefecture. Hand woven from strong and flexible strips of bamboo, this tea strainer is made by craftspeople expert in the generations-old tradition of bamboo-weaving. This strainer prevents loose tea leaves from entering a tea cup, while also generating a mild aroma of bamboo, which mixes with the scent of the tea itself.

Handwashing recommended.
Colour might get darker over time.

Size: L17 cm x W8 cm x H9 cm

Founded in 1945, Matsunoya is a wholesaler of miscellaneous household items, or aramono. This term is rarely used in modern times, but it refers to objects such as brooms, dustpans, and kitchen tools – items for daily life found in most Japanese homes. Matsunoya staff travel across Japan to find items lovingly made in small, local factories and farms. The company also produces its own original aramono by working directly with small manufacturers.
