Kosuga Bamboo Shoehorn
$56.00
Description:
Materials matter, and the springy, lightweight nature of bamboo make it the perfect choice for this shoehorn. Kohchosai Kosuga has been involved with crafting wares from bamboo since 1898. To maintain quality and consistency, the bamboo is completely sourced from the forests of Japan and carefully prepared for hand-carving. After the winter harvest, the bamboo is steamed to help remove excess oils, and a month of sun drying prepares and conditions the bamboo before it is shaped into the final product. The 27.5-inch length of this shoehorn allows users to easily slip shoes on and off even while standing. As a finishing touch, a purple tassel is included as an accent to loop through the end hole.
Variation:
Each piece is made from natural bamboo strips and features unique variations.
History:
Since its establishment in 1890, the Kohchosai Kosuga company has been dedicated to exploring the qualities of bamboo at their workshops and facilities. Kohchosai Kosuga specialized in fine bamboo arts and crafts and produces a wide range of products, such as flower baskets, tableware, bags, and lighting. The craftspeople at Kosuga are true innovators of the medium - shepherding bamboo into contemporary culture that extends well beyond Japan while using traditional techniques passed down through 5 generations.
