A lifetime ago I spent many nights in Okinawa guarding an armory in a bamboo grove. When the wind hit just right it would sound like people chattering.
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is indeed a beautiful fairy tale. I used to play with bamboo poles, but have never had the experience of standing in a grove of living bamboo stalks: it must be a magical experience!
Thank you for your comment!
It sure is...there's nothing quite like it.
If you have the chance to come to Japan, I suggest going to places other than Arashiyama in Kyoto:) ( it's beautiful but too crowded IMO)

On the other hand when I was researching this article I was surprised to discover how many other countries have bamboo as a native plant!
