The Individuality of the Pentagon

A pentagonal bamboo handrail made with goma bamboo, which has a “subtle presence.”

By cutting off the top of the bamboo and letting it dry while standing, sesame-like spots emerge naturally, giving each piece a different expression.

The handrail itself has a pentagonal shape whose contours you naturally feel when gripping it.

It feels stable without applying force, and your fingers seem drawn to fit it.

The fittings are polygonal blackened iron brackets reminiscent of samurai armor, in which tradition and modernity quietly harmonize.

For a modern Japanese space, it adds not mere function but “beauty of form” and “pleasant tactility.”

Adding the present to tradition

Kyoto, the ancient capital. Fine bamboo nurtured in this land has long been prized in architecture and landscape gardening.
A texture that deepens with time, and a beauty that is even used in World Heritage sites.
HITTITE infuses this traditional material with a modern sensibility, breathing new life into bamboo.
Refined design brings a soft, modern Japanese feel to the space.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

A. The Wabitake Series is designed for indoor use.
Because bamboo is a natural material, outdoor exposure to UV rays, wind and rain, and humidity may cause discoloration, cracking, mold, and deterioration.
For this reason, we do not recommend using it outdoors or in places exposed to rain. To enjoy the natural character of bamboo for a long time, please use it indoors.

A. For everyday care, wiping with a soft dry cloth or removing dust is sufficient.
Because bamboo is a natural material, please avoid cleaning with a heavily dampened cloth, and do not use detergents or chemicals.
If dirt is noticeable, gently wipe with a soft, tightly wrung cloth, then dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.

A. The square and pentagonal bamboo are shaped from hiratake (flat bamboo), which makes them less prone to cracking than ordinary round bamboo.
However, because bamboo is a natural material, cracks or splits may occasionally occur due to changes in temperature and humidity, dryness, or aging.

A. Blackening is a surface treatment that turns the surface of iron black through a chemical reaction.
Rather than covering the surface with a coating as paint does, it gives iron a calm black finish while preserving the iron's own texture and character.
Depending on the condition of the material, variations in shade and unevenness may appear, and the unique expression of each piece is part of what makes blackening special.
