TAKE-NO-WA “Bamboo, Wow!”
The bamboo festival you can enjoy with your five senses.
There has been bamboo in Japanese life since ancient time.
We have used bamboo everywhere in our lives such as feeling the spring by eating bamboo shoots that are young buds of bamboo, and using it as a pillar of house by taking advantage of the supple and durable characteristics of bamboo, and knitting a bamboo basket by breaking it into small pieces.
And the bamboo forest that also remains in Machida City, Tokyo is also the original landscape of Japan.
This time, the bamboo festival that is delightful with five senses will be held with the theme of “bamboo”. You can enjoy workshops for making traditional bamboo crafts and bamboo instruments, and live concerts of bamboo instruments. It is a festival where you can feel first-hand the Japanese bamboo culture.
