In the Gentle Bleeze

It is getting hot here in funabashi.
But it is still cool in early morning.
I like watching leaves of bamboo grass waving in gentle breeze.

Bamboo drops leaves in summer, and In fall fresh leaves come out.

Bamboo craft for tea celemony

Those are utensils for Japanese tea celemony.
And those are made of bamboo.
Bamboo is good material of craft goods, becase it is processed easily.
I found it on the way to funabashi shrine.
