Interesting fence


The photo was taken in the Arashiyama bamboo forest in Kyoto (source credit not given at the via).  I am intrigued by the fence along the trail, which seems to be woven of grasses bound to the horizontal bamboo by lashings in a manner similar to the construction of vintage brooms.  (click for bigger)

  1. This looks both otherworldly and serene. What a beautiful place and photo.

  2. Having been there myself back in 2008, the fence is made of bunched-up dried bamboo branches (bamboo leaves removed)!
