"Fan" Bamboo stud earrings

Airy earrings made from madake bamboo and smoked bamboo.

The skin of this sturdy bamboo is shaved to 0.7 mm in thickness and bent while heating by candle fire. The luster of the material is highlighted by applying a method called “Hinuki” where bamboo is exposed to heat in order to draw out its wax. The K18YG ring that holds the bamboo together is the perfect accent.

The bare color of madake bamboo, covered only in natural wax, turns into a beautiful candy color with age. 

Susudake bamboo is an ancient bamboo that once supported thatched roofs. It has been smoked by the smoke from the hearth for 100 years, and some even for 200 years, giving it an amber color all the way to the inside. 

Bamboos remain green throughout the year no matter how strong the wind or snow and it is this strength of life that has made people regard it as being something that brings good fortune.
