Weaving Tradition with Meticulously: The Heart and Mastery of Artisans

Rattan, a palm plant predominantly found in Southeast Asia, is known for its flexibility, light weight, and robust nature. The craftsmen at Tokyo Tokogei, who assert that the craft is all about the materials, never waste any of their precious materials. All assembly is meticulously handcrafted with thoughtful attention to detail, ensuring that no nails are visible. Techniques such as varying weaving styles according to the individual component exemplify the artisan’s complete dedication to making the most of the materials while pursuing functionality. This is a testament to their exceptional skill and craftsmanship.

KASE RATTAN CRAFT was established in 1955 (Showa 30). Handcrafted to bring out the natural qualities of rattan, each product features subtle variations in its texture, making every item unique. The warm and inviting texture is achieved through 100% natural materials. These products, handcrafted with the heart, skill, and labor of artisans meticulously weaving each piece in the traditions carried forward from the Edo period, become more comfortable and familiar with every use.

KASE RATTAN CRAFT brings forward the concept of Yamakawa Rattan furniture making, both grounded in traditional Japanese furniture and continuing to create contemporary pieces by fully understanding the natural rattan material. By making the most of its unique characteristics, we create products featuring exceptional design, matched with strength, and infused with heartfelt craftsmanship. In addition to the traditional craftsmanship that only handmade products can offer, we are also passionate about incorporating modern, innovative designs.
