Bamboo style

Introduction The human form and spirit would have much to emulate in the power of bamboo: standing upright, yet strong and supple; being flexible yet resilient in light of nature's forces; being grounded with an extensive rootedness to the earth yet light and airy in response to the slightest breeze. The Asian cultures admire, respect, and honor the beauty of bamboo--a superfast-growing and self-renewing plant. With a few simple tools, this amazing grass, so rich in its diversity, is easily shaped into more than a thousand uses.
