A collaboration between the century-old Kanbe Juzu atelier and Nakamura Tsukiita of Fukuoka, holders of a Japanese patent for through-dyed veneer (senshoku tsukiita).
Solid birch is dyed to the core, sliced whisper-thin, laminated in layers, and only then turned into beads — so the geometry of black, red, and green stripes emerges from inside the wood itself. No two beads repeat; no brush could draw these lines.
Light on the wrist, boldly modern, and quietly Zen. Hand-strung in Kyoto on quadruple silicone cord; paulownia gift box.
Material: Main beads: Striped wood (dyed birch laminate, patented craft) · Cord: Polyurethane elastic
Size: Inner ø 17 cm (6.7")
Origin: Kyoto, Japan. Hand-finished by master Kyoto juzu artisans.
Each piece is handmade — natural variations in grain, color, and bead size are part of the craft.
