Fresh Bamboo

垣根の竹 (3)垣根の竹

This is 10- year old bamboo.

Bamboo is perishable, so it needs face replacing every 10 years.

 

New bamboo is beautiful, isn’t it?

Recently, many people use artificial bamboo, but it also changes color.

People can use it only 15 years.

They say its aging isn’t natural.

 

I like natural aging, both of human beings and bamboo

I feel something is wrong when old women have unnatural beauty.

 

The fence was replaced by gardeners.

It looks beautiful again.

I envy bamboo a little.

 

I would like to get older naturally, but with beauty.
