We maintain a bamboo forest and make bamboo washi.
And we are improving the natural environment.
- The bamboo is an important forest resource in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
- The people had attachment to bamboo, and their life was with bamboo.
- In the 20th century, plastic got into the living and, put a bamboo product behind.
- In the 21st century, we maintain a bamboo forest and use bamboo.
- This lets us rediscover that the bamboo was friendly with the people.
- The maintenance of a bamboo forest is one method to prevent global warming.
