Takano Chikko
Lotus Root Bamboo Coaster
This bamboo coaster is carved to look like a lotus root. Lotus roots are considered lucky and are often enjoyed during celebratory occasions as their holes bring a visible future. Though maybe not as cool as letting one see their future, the holes also make sure that even your coldest drink won’t stick to the coaster.
About the Maker
Takano Chikko is based in Nagaokakyo City in Kyoto Prefecture, an area known for its high-quality bamboo. The bamboo must be grown and cultivated under intense conditions to ensure both beauty and durability. In addition to bamboo, Takano Chikko uses carefully selected natural materials that are unique to Kyoto. Old materials from temples and shrines are repurposed by skilled craftspeople who identify what materials are necessary and how to carefully bring each product to life.
