Yui Valley Bamboo 

We harvest our bamboo by ourselves from Asahina and Okabe in Fujieda city, Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.

We harvest 2 types of bamboo named `Madake‘ and ‘Moso‘-  from 10 different bamboo groves. 

Harvest season is from about October to December,

When the bamboo grove stops to drink rain water from the ground.

After harvest we will cut the bamboo from 20 meter length

to 4 pieces of 2 meter each, that we can use.

 The next step is boiling the bamboo in a large 2 meter water pot,

This process will drain out the oils.

After that the bamboo will dry in the sun and wind for 2 to 3 weeks.

Our final outcome from this long process is a strong, long lasting beautiful white bamboo with natural glossy skin.

Because we only use the bamboo skin surface in our products 

They are very strong and can last long.
