静岡市の伝統工芸である竹千筋細工の職人、神谷恵美氏との協業による菓子器。従来は編まれた竹を用いる”面材”をガラスに置き換えたことで、竹千筋細工の由来でもある、繊細な竹ひごの美しさを際立たせた。
またガラスを固定するための竹の輪に段差をつけ、積み重ねを可能にした。
伝統工芸が「過去を護る」ためのものでなく、未来から見た今が伝統の一部となるよう、素材と機能をアップデートした。

This confectionery container was created in collaboration with Emi Kamiya, a craftsman specializing in Shizuoka City’s traditional bamboo craftsmanship. By replacing the woven bamboo used in the bottom and lid with glass, the delicate bamboo strips that are characteristic of this craftsmanship are expressed with greater purity.
In addition, by adding steps to the bamboo rings that hold the glass in place, the containers can be stacked.
This project was conceived with the idea that traditional crafts should not merely “preserve the past,” but rather, when viewed from the future, the present moment should become part of tradition. It was created with the intention of “taking a step forward while preserving the essence.”
