Description
[Shaft material: Bamboo] Bamboo wood, which is not native to the northern hemisphere, first became popular in Europe in the 19th century. Bamboo has unparalleled functionality in terms of lightness, flexibility, and resistance to breakage, but it was the oriental and mysterious beauty of its appearance that caught the attention of Europeans. In particular, Japanese baskets and sencha utensils are regarded as art, and the graceful appearance unique to bamboo has been incorporated into interior decorations and ornaments to create a unique blend of Japanese and Western styles that is completely different from its original use in Asia. The bamboo walking stick in this product is a true blend of Japanese and Western styles and has an artistic atmosphere. Needless to say, the lightweight and strong characteristics of bamboo make it the most functional walking stick available. [Grip material: Beech] The grip is made of carved German beech wood with a beautiful grain. This is a high-grade material often used for Scandinavian furniture. Beech is actually a very difficult wood to work. It is hard and warps easily if it is not dried thoroughly. Gastrock dries beech wood in its own facilities for as long as three years before processing. After the drying process, the beech wood becomes resilient and unbreakable, and is of the highest quality. [Antique processing] Each walking stick made of natural materials has a different grain and texture, which gives the stick its unique character and taste. At Gastrock, we further polish the individuality of each stick by applying a cosmetic finish called "antiquing. This process is unique to European culture and is also used frequently in Scandinavian furniture. There is no manual for this process, which uses a burner and trowel to burnish the surface. The process is left entirely up to the craftsman's sensibilities, and the shading is done with the perfect amount of salt. The unevenness of the bamboo joints is emphasized, and the rings of the beech tree are raised in an undulating manner. This technique is unique to Europe, but when combined with the material of bamboo, it evokes a sense of beauty that is somewhat similar to that of ink painting. This one-of-a-kind walking stick, made of natural materials and handcrafted by artisans, is a must-have for any enthusiast. |

北半球には自生しない竹材がヨーロッパで一般に普及し始めたのは19世紀の事。竹材には軽さ、撓り強さ、折れにくさなどの比類ない機能性がありますが、ヨーロッパで注目されたのは東洋的で神秘的な見た目の美しさ。特に日本の籠や煎茶道具などはアートとして捉えられ、竹独特の優美な外観をインテリアにしたり、装飾品のに取り込んだりして本来のアジアでの使われ方とは全く異なる和洋折衷の独自の進化を遂げてきました。本品のステッキには正にそんな和洋折衷、アートな雰囲気が漂います。軽くて強い竹ならではの特性がステッキとして最高の機能性を有している事は言うまでもありません。
【グリップ素材 ブナ】
グリッには木目の美しいドイツ産ブナ材の削り出しを使用。北欧家具にも多く使われる高級素材です。ブナ材は実は大変加工しにくい材木でもあります。堅い上にしっかりと乾燥させないと反りやすい性質を持ちます。ガストロック社では加工する前の材木を何と3年もの歳月かけ自社施設にてしっかりと乾燥させます。万全の乾燥処理を経たブナ材は弾力があって折れにくい最高品質へと生まれ変わります。
【こだわりのアンティーク加工】
天然素材を使ったステッキは木目や風合いが1本1本異なりそれが個性であり味となります。ガストロック社では更にアンチーク加工と呼ばれる化粧仕上げを施し個性に更に磨きを掛ける工程を行います。新しい物をわざと汚して使い込まれた様に見せるこの工程はヨーロッパ独特の文化で北欧家具でも多用されます。バーナーと焼きゴテを使って表面に焦げ目を付けていくこの工程にマニュアルは存在しません。全ては職人の感性に委ねられ絶妙の塩梅で陰影を付けてゆきます。竹の節は凸凹がをより強調され、ブナの年輪はうねる様に浮き立たされます。ヨーロッパ独特の技法ですが竹という素材と組み合わさって何処か水墨画に通じる美意識を感じます。天然素材と職人の手作業から生み出される世界に1本しかないこのステッキは愛好家を引き付けてやみません。
