Handicraftsmen living here developed many methods of joining bamboo without any other materials. The simplest one is just to lay the half-cut bamboo cane over the other. The weaving techniques represent the high flexibility, multi-facility of the material, and skill of the craftsman. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, with most species being harvested in 3-5 years, and some species reaching maturity in just one year. It is strong, durable, easily available, yields greater raw materials, and can adapt to any temperature. Bamboo is multi-purpose and can be used to make handbags, lampshades, trays, baskets, etc. Bamboo is both restorative and aesthetic.
