Bamboo is brilliantly and elegantly explored in this book that combines an authoritative text, dealing with the cultural and aesthetic as well as the technical aspects of bamboo, with 162 pages of stunning photographs, including 32 in full color. In the West, bamboo is most often thought of as a rare, exotic plant, ornamental in nature. In the East, however, the rustling bamboo grove is a familiar sight and the uses the plant is put to are so countless that life there would be unthinkable without it.
