Interior

Supple, strong, and beautiful. Bamboo is a rare natural material that brings soft shadows and rhythm to a space.
At Takesada Shoten, we stock a wide variety of building materials that can be used for ceilings, walls, and fittings, expanding the possibilities of bamboo to harmonize with not only traditional Japanese spaces but also modern interiors.
We can offer space creation suggestions that are unique to us, as we handle everything from materials to finishes.

Hirawari Panel

Flat-split bamboo panels are crafted by carefully adhering individually flat-split bamboo strips onto a wooden baseboard. The natural texture and subtle sheen of the bamboo are brought to the forefront, adding warmth and a refined atmosphere to any space. These panels are commonly used in traditional sukiya-style architecture and Kyoto machiya townhouses, where they have long been valued for enhancing Japanese interior aesthetics. Suitable for application on walls and ceilings, the panels’ soft, organic finish integrates beautifully into both traditional and modern environments.

Hanwari Panel

Half-Split Bamboo Panels are made by splitting round bamboo culms longitudinally into halves and mounting them side-by-side onto a wooden baseboard. Compared to flat-split panels, they feature a more three-dimensional finish – shadows cast by the bamboo’s natural curvature add depth to the space. Suitable for a wide range of applications, from traditional aesthetics to modern designs, these panels are ideal for wall and ceiling installations. With a rich texture that combines bamboo’s rustic strength and organic rhythm, this material brings natural expression and presence to any environment.

Hishigi Panel

Hammer-split bamboo panels are created by first back-splitting a round bamboo culm, then carefully hammering it along the grain with a specialized hammer to flatten it into a board-like shape. The naturally occurring irregular cracks, combined with the contrast between the glossy inner fibers and the outer skin, create a uniquely textured surface. Primarily used for wall decorations in traditional Kyoto townhouses (machiya), Hishigi adds a rustic yet elegant presence that brings depth to any space. As a design material that balances the strength and delicacy of bamboo, it is well suited for a variety of interior applications.

Sumushiko Slatting

Sumushiko is a latticework made from 5 mm-thin flat-split bamboo strips, assembled at regular intervals. The uniform spacing creates a refined pattern of light and shadow, lending visual depth and a sense of lightness to interiors. Each strip is precisely and carefully hand-split in-house to ensure consistent width and even spacing. Inspired by traditional sudare slats and sugaki bamboo fences, Sumushiko harmonizes beautifully with both Japanese and Western aesthetics, making it ideal for hanging ceilings, retail wall features, hotel accent panels, and residential spaces seeking a modern, rhythmic bamboo texture.

Hirawari

Half-Split Bamboo Panels are made by splitting round bamboo culms longitudinally into halves and mounting them side-by-side onto a wooden baseboard. Compared to flat-split panels, they feature a more three-dimensional finish – shadows cast by the bamboo’s natural curvature add depth to the space. Suitable for a wide range of applications, from traditional aesthetics to modern designs, these panels are ideal for wall and ceiling installations. With a rich texture that combines bamboo’s rustic strength and organic rhythm, this material brings natural expression and presence to any environment.

Masawari

Masanari (Parallel-Split Bamboo) is a processing method in which both sides of the bamboo culm are sawn off to expose its inner cross-section. This technique allows you to appreciate both the smooth outer skin and the delicate internal structure of the bamboo simultaneously. The organic shape of the nodes adds natural character and movement to any space. While ideal for partitions and screens, it can also be applied to sliding doors, wall cladding, and other types of joinery. When backlit, the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the split surface enhances the bamboo’s depth and texture.

Cornered Bamboo

Cornered Bamboo is made by precisely reassembling bamboo pieces split from the same culm, with the nodes carefully aligned. Unlike round bamboo, it features sharp-edged, angular forms that bring a refined, contemporary accent to the space. While various standard cross-sections and shapes are available, Cornered Bamboo can be customized in both size and the number of veneered sides – ranging from one to five. Though traditionally used in Japanese architecture, its regular geometry allows for easy integration into modern interiors. This material is ideal for spaces where tradition and modernity intersect.

Amimono

Thin strips of bamboo skin are woven into various traditional patterns. With over a hundred patterns used for bamboo baskets, interior materials, and lighting, combining different designs allows flat or curved surfaces with countless expressions.
