Common grass, uncommon beauty
08/02/2010 : 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.
