Japanese Sudare Blinds (Bamboo & Reed Binds) - Misu

Sudare (sometimes called misu) are traditional Japanese blinds made of thin bamboo slivers or reeds woven together with simple string. They are designed to be either rolled or folded up out of the way, offering a flexible shading solution.

The craftsmanship is highly skilled: the bamboo is split down the pole, and the artisan uses the part where the node was to create a subtle natural pattern in the blind.

In many Japanese homes, Sudare are used to shield the veranda and other openings of the building from strong sunlight, rain, and insects. They are normally put up in spring and taken down again in autumn. Their light structure allows cooling breezes to pass through, a major benefit in the hot summer months.

With the dawn of modernity, the production of Sudare became a traditional handicraft, making genuine pieces highly sought after today.
