Nanpu Kougei was founded in 1979 in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, a region known for its thriving bamboo craftsmanship.
Currently, the company is based in Hiji-machi, Oita Prefecture, surrounded by rich nature and abundant marine resources, where they produce creative bamboo crafts using high-quality bamboo.

Bamboo is flexible and strong, and its character deepens with age.
While it is lightweight and easy to care for, each piece possesses unique characteristics and elasticity, requiring advanced skills and patience to process.
The products of Nanpu Kougei, carefully finished in this way, boast durability for long-term use and offer the joy of appreciating their beauty as they deepen into an amber color with continued use.

The bamboo crafts of Nanpu Kougei, meticulously hand-woven by artisans who have inherited and refined their skills over many years, are highly regarded worldwide.
