Hawaiian Bamboo #2

The Hawaiian word for bamboo is ‘Ohe. Bamboo was used by Native Hawaiians to carry water, and for hula instruments such as the nose flue, rattle and stamping pipes. Bamboo was also the traditional and sacred knife used for cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn child.
 

"The stone used in this carving is Green Chinese Slate. It has a subtle grey/green coloring and varied surface texture. The bamboo hanger is made from Bamboo from my Sensei's yard in upcountry Maui."
