Bamboo Chronicles

Through a series of short chronicles, we invite you to explore the everyday presence of bamboo in Japanese life. From tender shoot beneath the soil to refined works of art, from tools to delicacies—bamboo appears in countless forms, often so familiar that its value is taken for granted.
As the seasons change, so too do the ways in which bamboo is seen, touched, and used. Join us in discovering this deeply rooted yet quietly evolving material.
