The bamboo is one of the most widespread plants in Asia. Its  interest in the everyday life (various ustensils, kitchen, medecine) but also its ornamental elegance make it be a required plant. In China, its a Confucian symbol which represent constancy and friendship. It also symbolizes longevity because it is very resistant. The bamboo is frequent in the chinese artistic representations. To reach perfection in the graphics of the bamboo require a long term training and give their letter of nobility to the masters.
The difficulty in its representation comes from its purity and its examination. It is mostly simply painted to the ink black. The bookmark model we propose to you is an example of the graphic representation of the bamboo chinese style.
