Beppu is a famous place for bamboo craft in Japan. Baskets for fish and carrying food are made with bamboo and have been used in the every day lives of Japanese households throughout a long history. This craft is very close to Japanese people because of its general popular use. Bamboo crafts have recently became more like art pieces since there is less demand for bamboo objects these days. Bamboo products are produced by other countries, yet Japanese bamboo craft is of the highest quality and unique aesthetic beauty.
