Bamboo-Shoot Package
 Fresh and fermented bamboo-shoots are sold at shops.
Bamboo-shoots are first carefully packed in green leaves which are subsequently enclosed
in a net of thin bamboo splits (fig.521). This cylindrical package has a wedge-shaped base
and is woven in an open-hexagonal weave. Two sets of elements pass under the base to move
up the sides inclined in opposite directions, while a third element interlaces the
elements of both inclined sets, while moving around the sides as a shallow spiral. At the
top the inclined elements are bunched together in a swirl before being bound by a length
of bamboo split. This package is 250 mm long and 75 mm in diameter. |
