— Lightness and Softness, Shino bamboo work in Miyagi —
In the Iwadeyama district of Osaki City, located about 50 km north of Sendai City in Miyagi Prefecture,
basket and colander making is said to have started as an in-house occupation of samurai families during the Edo period.
They were made using the supple thin bamboo called “Shino bamboo”,
which grew wild in the area, for tools for daily life and for professional use, depending on the purpose of use.
At its peak, more than 80 types of baskets and colanders were made,
but with the passage of time, the variety and production has drastically decreased,
and only a few elderly people make simple, old-fashioned colanders and baskets using only Shino bamboo.
Miyagi Prefecture’s shinodake work is known for its lightness and softness,
making it very easy to use in the kitchen on a daily basis.
