BAMBOO ART
Last Update Nov. 5, 2004
Throughout Asia, the bamboo motif has been used since ancient times in paintings, scrolls, pottery, and other art forms. Below are some of my favorites. Some were scanned from temple brochures, others are digital photos of artwork I own, and some from contemporary artists showing their pieces on the web. See the Learn More section for other web resources devoted to bamboo.
