One Million People's Bamboo Chip Movement

Would you like to join the 1 Million Bamboo Chip Movement?

 

We are experimenting to grow rice without pesticides by scattering bamboo chips in paddy fields.

Bamboo is used for growing pesticide-free vegetables.

Bamboo and Innovations

Entrepreneurial companies are vulnerable to attacks. "Bamboo makes things new" While bamboo is often used in Shinto rituals, neglected bamboo groves are treated as a nuisance. Innovation is also like bamboo. innovation stack Create a business that no one can imitate "A series of inventions that can be obtained by solving a single problem that no one has ever solved, and by continuing to solve new problems that arise one after another"  To make the business successful is not just one innovation, but the accumulation of many innovations  The innovation stack is the key. An innovation stack is not just a redesigned list of changes to an existing business. Various innovations are integrated. Just like the nodes in a bamboo shoot are piled up, and the bamboo shoot is integrated into the root. innovation stack Jim McKelvie Each block of the stack works only in conjunction with everything else, and if even one block is missing, the whole stack collapses. Just like the entire bamboo forest in the area dies block by block. Not only that, there have been cases of bamboo that was transplanted far away in a completely different soil and withered in response.

Artists and mathematicians are adept at capturing the essence of complex problems and ideas. They are focusing on the opposite. Mathematicians use a method called "relational proof," which artists call "negative space." However, the idea is the same, and it is often easier than focusing on the exact opposite of the aim. Bamboo has also been used as a lighting fixture and as indirect lighting, expressing the world of Junichiro Tanizaki "In praise of shadows." In addition, the "tea room" that enters the narrow entrance expresses the world of bamboo.

Great  artistic ability

 

The children playing in the bamboo grove have something to discover. For example, Mr. Akihiko Nanatani of Bamboo Art.He said, "I was 10 years old when I learned that light passing through a bamboo pole turned red."

It took him about 10 years before he actually got the chance to start making bamboo lantern art.

I need it. Emitted when the incandescent light emitted from the bamboo cavity passes through the inner coating

 The shades of red visible light create a "moving work of art".

 In order to develop the use of bamboo material in a modern way, not just a bamboo carving

It took 40 years. It doesn't matter how long it takes for people to bring out the power of bamboo.

All Japanese things are in a vacuum. In Japan, it has long been said that "hollow is empty".

"It's designed to last a long time." I have always used straw and reeds in my life.

 

 Pour water from the stream into a bamboo tube and drink it, or pour water into a bamboo ladle at the shrine and perform an exorcism.

 Bamboo is a vessel for light and water, and a vessel for art. When efforts are not appreciated,

Draw pine, bamboo and plum. "Let's stand tall in difficult times.

If  Spring ever comes, let the flowers bloom first. "The meaning of the drawn motifs

Only after knowing about it, will a "sympathy" be born between the creator of the work and the viewer

 Producing empathy is very important in the world of art.

There is a saying by Kanjiro Kawai, "There is nothing. If you look, there is."

 We live our days surrounded by so many "thoughts of our predecessors".

 

But if you don't try to see it, you can't see it. Whether or not you get eyes to see

It depends on your efforts. Those who do not learn from the past have no future.

Life is short Art is long.

Art teaches us many things.

 The plastic problem has many facets.

It is an era of collaborating with people from various positions.

It cannot be solved only by recycling plastic.

Utilizing bamboo resources to eliminate plastic pollution

We need  friends working together and

We are looking for sponsors.

  The vision, initiative, organization, and implementation of the projects we support come directly from the communities with whom we work.

Increasing populations and the growth of a global middle class results in a rising demand for wood and fiber based products, placing further pressure on the planet’s remaining forests.

Bamboo’s fast growth rate and high productivity results in significant volumes of fiber produced per area and input. Industry of Bamboo's investment into new technology enables bamboo’s use in the manufacturing of most products that currently rely on wood as their raw fiber.
