| Taiwan 's bamboo craftsmen combine their traditional skills and new ideas into delicately wrought objects with unprecedented originality, giving contemporary bamboo handcrafts a refreshingly new appearance. In addition to their pragmatic, refined, and attractive appeal, each bamboo handicraft bears testament to the wit and artistry of its creator.
Bamboo is undoubtedly one of the most important agricultural plants in the world. Though some varieties can reach heights of 30 meters, bamboo is technically a grass, not a tree, encompassing 1,200 different species. A self-regenerating natural resource, new shoots appear year after year following the harvest of individual stems. Bamboo is a vital ingredient of many rural industries in Taiwan with whole villages devoted to the production of bamboo handicrafts, furniture, and utensils.
Bamboo is tough in strength yet very light in weight. The segmented stems are smooth and comfortable in texture, displaying an organic rhythm. Using bamboo advocates the ideals of environmental protection and sustainability. Possessing bamboo handcrafts further manifests the novel tastes and styles of modern individuals in search of a clean, contemporary, and chic style -- all packaged in a unique work of art.
