In a place rich in history and nature, where the forests of Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine, Hachijōgaike Pond and beautiful bamboo forests are adjacent, a directly managed shop of Takano Chikko, “Shop & Gallery CHIKUBUEN” is located.
Takano Chikko has set up a workshop in Nagaokakyo and has inherited the handicraft techniques cultivated over many years of tea utensils production while protecting and nurturing high-quality bamboo forests.
The aim of Shop & Gallery CHIKUBUEN is not only to showcase the products, but also to spread the skills and knowledge of the craftsmen, and various events are held throughout the year, such as a crafts making workshops and a tea ceremony experience with bamboo tea bowls.
A former ryokan with a Showa-era atmosphere, Chikubuen was built by Kinsuitei, a Japanese restaurant famous for its bamboo cuisine, to commemorate the 1970 Osaka World Expo, and as its name suggests, it is an impressive space with a beautiful bamboo grove.
The shop showcases a wide range of our products, from tea ceremony utensils to daily products, including the high-end bamboo and old material products.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Open:10:00~17:00 (Nov-Feb closing time: 16:30) Mon, Fri, Sat, Sun and National holidays
