Bamboo, one of the first materials used by early humans, is widely used in the everyday life of many Asian cultures. Though a part of the grass family, bamboo is resilient and is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Bamboo’s sturdiness and the way it can be split into fine fibers allows for both weaving and carving, making it a favored material for craft. With over six hundred species of bamboo found in China, bamboo has become especially popular with Chinese artists and craftsmen.
