Splitting Bamboo and making a Design

In the Hata Sensei's class, we learned how to split bamboo and made it as a structure for flower arrangement. Bamboo pieces were provided, about 3 feet long. We needed a special tool to split the bamboo (bamboo splitter). And the pliers,wire cutter,saw, hammer and gloves...were needed to make the structure. Of course, we brought some sort of container and flower materials of our own to accommodate our design and arrangement. Today we had more than 20 students attend the class. I only posted some of their work. (10/12/2015)
