At the time, 囲炉裏(Irori) a sunken hearth was used in the living area for cooking and to warm the house. The smoke from Irori made the bamboo framework turn into a dark color, as well as drying and stabilizing the bamboo strong for over 100 years. Every 150 - 200 years, the bamboo framework has to be changed. At this time of changing, the Susudake can be reused for other products or purpose. The products made from Susudake have over 100 years of history from the people and families who lived in these houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMr. Kazuhiro Wakatsuki (若槻和宏) was as born in 1966 in Okuizumo in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShimane prefecture.
