About AODAKE, vol.2
About AODAKE, vol.1
In the "Chya (Japanese Tea)" world, "Aodakes"(raw bamboos that are not dried or lacquered) are used in New Years. These pictures are some examples we have used to decorate our gallery.
"Aodakes" are used as vase to arrange flowers, tea lid holder, or Chyasaji (tea spoon used for tea powder). Hanabako is exhibiting "Aodake" vase and basket made by artist, Mr.Ichiro Tsujimura.
"Aodake vase with bamboo leaf" and "Aodake in Byobu style" is both made by Mr. Tsujimura. He has gone looking for the best bamboos for this work on the 3rd of January. Since "Aodakes" are raw bamboos, it will dry and become brown. You can avoid that by pouring lots of new water and spraying water. It can last green for about 2 weeks by doing this.
