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.
A. Yes, we can make it to your desired length. Lead time and price may vary depending on the ordered dimensions, so please contact us for details.
