» The food definitely does taste bland. But little by little, I start to feel the subtle flavour of each individual raw ingredient in the dish in front of me. There is the mild pungency of the radish, the slight sourness of the tomatoes, and the sweet tinge of the pumpkin, all chopped and cut into fine morsels that can be gulped down in no time. Jipat Klajone, known as Mor Keaw, advises every participant at his alternative health camp to chew the food thoroughly before swallowing it. Take your time, he says, and observe the gradual transformation of the natural provisions into a liquefied mass, see how it is gurgled down to the stomach and eventually spread out to give energy to every cell in the body.

» As a material and as a symbol, bamboo is woven into the life of Asia. You find it in gardens and in creation myths, forming the scaffolds of skyscrapers and surrounding shrines and temples as barriers against evil. In a thousand ways bamboo remains central to the daily economic life of the continent, reincarnated as food and medicine, paper and fabrics, instruments and as a crucial building material. These same qualities that make bamboo so utilitarian _ its strength and versatility _ also make it an ideal medium for the craftsman, and nowhere does it reach a more refined form than in the Beppu basket work of Japan. TCDC's new exhibition, ``Japanese Bamboo: Tracing the legend of Beppu craftsmanship'', this month explores the wisdom, process and history behind this unique and little known art form.
