A bamboo sushi mat. I love sushi, especially home made with Umeboshi plum in the middle! You lie the nori (seaweed) sheet on the mat (a perfect fit) then a layer of rice, and finally the filling in a strip down the middle. Roll it up and slice it into bite size pieces. Bliss ;o)
HMM!

The Bamboo Forest, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, or Sagano Bamboo Forest is a natural bamboo forest in Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan. It consists mostly of mōsō bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and has several pathways for tourists and visitors. The Ministry of the Environment considers it a part of the soundscape of Japan.
Prior to 2015, there was a charge to access the forest.
The forest is not far from Tenryū-ji temple, which is the headquarters of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, and the Nonomiya Shrine.
Nothing like bamboo to provide shade under the hot Hawaii sun. And the fragrance of bamboo just soothes you as you stroll along
Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. The word "bamboo" comes from the Dutch or Portuguese languages, which probably borrowed it from Malay.
Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo, like wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. Bamboo's strength-to-weight ratio is similar to timber, and its strength is generally similar to a strong softwood or hardwood timber.
Famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto.
It is a very cliche view underlined by the many people that were standing there with me.
But that doesn't take away from the beautiful view.
Bamboo scaffolding is a type of scaffolding made from bamboo and widely used in construction work for centuries...Bamboo Scaffolding was first introduced into the building industry in Hong Kong immediately after colonization in the 1800s. It was widely used in the building of houses and multi-story buildings... It was also useful for short-term construction projects, such as framework for temporary sheds for Cantonese Opera performances (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_scaffolding)
The building shown is Hong Kong Space Museum established 1980. It is museum of astronomy and space science in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Space_Museum)

Bamboo garden on the terrace of the Neues Schloss.
Majestically situated on the Florentinerberg, a sun blessed hill overlooking Baden-Baden, is the Neues Schloss or New Castle – the former residence of the Margraves of Baden. Unfortunately, with the building being in private hands, it is not possible to visit either the castle or its gardens. It is, however, well worth wandering up to the terrace, in front of the castle, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Baden-Baden.
By the way, did you know that the entire contents of the castle were sold by Sotheby’s in a spectacular auction in 1995? In October 2003, the Neues Schloss was sold to the Kuwaiti Al Hassawi Group. It is believed that this listed building is to be renovated into a luxury hotel.

Temporary installation designed by IlLab, the installation analyzes the power of bamboo, specifically focusing on the material's inherent properties and its potential applications by testing it during the prototyping phase of art planning.
"The process places particular emphasis on the unique material properties inspiring a wider range of construction applications in permanent architecture," reads an official press release about the installation, which will hover atop the area.
