Bamboo is evergreen remaining green even in winter. People therefore associated bamboo with a sense of permanence and came to regard it as a sacred plant. Because of this, bamboo is used for decorations at annual festivals and ceremonial rituals. The most familiar example is the kadomatsu (gate pine). The kadomatsu is a New Year’s decoration made mostly of bamboo and pine, another evergreen tree, that is placed at the gates and entrances of homes and other buildings at this time of year. It is displayed to guide the deities who are said to visit each home on the first day of the new year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eThe Bracelet is made of steel over an elastic rope\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eThe bracelet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e is adjustable for wrists from 6.69\" (17cm) to 9.45\" (24cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e circumference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eCheck our shipping policy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nihowa.com\/policies\/shipping-policy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ehere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nihowa Japanese Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52727501881672,"sku":"200000226:29#vintage silver;200000639:1437","price":74.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/1416\/5576\/files\/S49b8d01aae4f4e81a103adfa919ffca6c.webp?v=1774098549","url":"https:\/\/nihowa.com\/products\/the-bamboo-cutter","provider":"Nihowa Japanese Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
