"Unmon" means shape of clouds, because "Unmon-chiku" means the bamboo which has several spots
shaped clouds on culm surface. This cloud can be seen like a shape of small whirlpool which is 2-5cm in diameter and very rare bamboo. This is one type of Phy. nigra henonis, because culm size is similar with it. There are a few cultivation areas around Kyoto and Hyogo Prefectures. Culm is prized as the materials for making bamboo art handicrafts. |
