Bamboo in Japanese Culture & Lifestyle

Bamboo has traditionally been deeply rooted in Japanese culture and is related to the lives and sentiments of the Japanese people, as seen in their language and lifestyle. It has long been used in architecture and furniture; worked into baskets, food vessels and utensils, musical instruments and wellness products; and even consumed as food. In various shapes and forms, the plant has been an essential component of Japanese lifestyles. While its benefits have historically been known by people in Japan, there are certain aspects that have come to be forgotten in modern culture. In this webinar, we will spotlight the lesser-known benefits and uses of bamboo, while revealing its deep connection with Japanese culture. In this webinar, Yoshihiro Yamagishi, the second Japanese national to be named World Bamboo Ambassador, and President of Japanese bamboo product company Taketora, introduces you to the extraordinary world of bamboo, sharing benefits and uses from its anti-bacterial effect to use as sustainable resource. Along with introducing some of the exciting new uses for bamboo in Japan today, Yamagishi spotlights possible future applications for the plant. The discussion is in Japanese with English translation. #JHLABamboo #BambooLifeCycles #Bamboo "LIFE CYCLES | A Bamboo Exploration with Tanabe Chikuunsai IV" Exhibition ●　Dates: Thursday, July 28, 2022 - Sunday, January 15, 2023 ●　Venue: JAPAN HOUSE @ 6801 Hollywood Blvd. Level 2, LA 90028 ●　Fee: Free Learn more at..... https://www.japanhousela.com/exhibiti... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ●　CONNECT WITH JAPAN HOUSE LOS ANGELES www.JapanHouseLA.com | @JapanHouseLA ●　SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER https://www.japanhousela.com/happenin...
