BAMBOO

[HEIJO SHIN]

The house I now live in has a large garden. In this garden grows some wonderful bamboo, some to 30ft tall, and some 8" in diameter. Any thoughts (nice ones please) what I could do with it in relation to my Iaido training.

Cut some bamboo, and make Yumi and do Kyudo. But with Iaido, I don't any relation unless you are going to imagine the bamboo as your opponent, OR you could use it as a point for your center line. Bamboo is cool though, try making stuff out of it.

take a 20' emptied bamboo pole, make it stand straight, sit on the top, crap in it and see how far your poo can go down without sticking to the inside.
I went down 24' in a 30' contest.


Sorry, i had to write that, not trying to be disrespectful, just stupid.

Too thick to do any cutting...but maybe the bamboo can help with your after-iaido training...

Cut the Tree down and for the larger diameter sections..cut each section just below the join and about 8 inches up...You can then wash it out and use it to drink beer after practicing iai...

For the thinner sections cut the bamboo below the join and about 3-4 inches up...you can use it as a ochoko for cold sake..another drinking staple for after iai/kendo training.

Also look near the roots and dig up from the ground the young takenoko so you can make takenoko gohan..

I'd leave it as it is. Not everyone has their own bamboo thicket; I'd just let it grow, and enjoy it if I were you. :)
