Shown with straight, curved, or intersecting trunks, bamboo is patterned in various ways. It appears in combination with other plants, tigers, and rocks, and in more elaborate patterns depicting old legends. A combination popular in Japan is the sparrows-in-bamboo pattern, which derives from the frequent appearance of nest-building sparrows-in-bamboo groves. Bamboo, along with pine boughs and plum blossoms, is one of the "three friends of winter" and is considered a good omen. Take, the Japanese word for bamboo, is homophonous with Chinese characters used in words for "warrior" and "bravery," and sounds like the words for "tall" (takai) and "hawk" (taka). a design that draws inspiration from the rich heritage of Japanese traditional patterns. It celebrates the timeless beauty and elegance found in various aspects of Japanese culture, such as nature, art, and symbolism.
