Description
Bamboo grove in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.
Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.
Every traditional Japanese garden has a bamboo shishi-odoshi, its rhythmic knock on stone keeping deer and boar from rifling through the plants.
Bamboo symbolizes the Lunar New Year. It’s what kendo swords are made from. The bows and arrows of traditional kyudo archery are bamboo, as are shakuhachi and ryuteki flutes.
