Bamboo

Trea Wiltshire

Ever the poet's brush, the musician's flute, bamboo has sounded its quiet sonatas through the lives of Asian over countless millennia. From chopsticks to tools of trade, it has fed, housed and furnished their existence, stimulated their intellect and expressed their emotions from the cradle to the grave. Little wonder that many still revere this versatile and tenaciously enduring plant.
