Bamboo
Bamboo, common name for about 45 genera and about 480 species of perennial, woody, usually shrubby or treelike plants of the grass family. Bamboos occur mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. They are most abundant in southeastern Asia, but some species exist in the Americas and Africa. The plants range from about 1 to 50 m (about 3 to 164 ft) in height.
Bamboos have woody, jointed
stems called culms. The culms consist of hollow sections called internodes,
which are interrupted by regularly spaced solid partitions called nodes.
At each node a sheath protects a bud, which may develop into either a branch
or a flower cluster. Bamboos are used widely by humans. In the tropics
they are used for constructing houses, rafts, bridges, and scaffolding.
Split and flattened culms can be interwoven to make baskets, mats, hats,
and fish traps; culms of large species may be used as containers for liquids.
Young shoots are eaten as a vegetable.
Scientific classification: Bamboos belong to the family Gramineae.

Shakuhachi
Shakuhachi, musical instrument, Japanese
end-blown flute made from bamboo, with four finger holes and one thumbhole.
The player blows against a slip of horn, ivory, or plastic set into the tube's
beveled end. The opposite end incorporates the slightly curved root section
of the bamboo stalk, which is decoratively trimmed. Found in a variety of lengths
and pitches, the shakuhachi is used in traditional meditative solo pieces, in
the classical chamber repertory, and in contemporary music.
