Bamboo (2022x4)

Air date: Mar 27, 2022

Japanology Plus explores Japanese life and culture. In this five-minute digest, we look at bamboo. For thousands of years, this sturdy, supple and abundant plant has been essential in Japanese crafts and construction. It can also be eaten: bamboo shoots are a taste of spring. In the near future, a material made from extremely thin bamboo fibers is expected to be used in space.
