Three Things Bambina Values

For centuries, bamboo— plants as tall as the sky can reach— are cherished in Japan as a symbol of good fortune. Yet, in recent years, with rural depopulation increasing, bamboo groves have since expanded. If left neglected and unmanaged, they increase the risk of landslides, encroach on satoyama woodlands, and disrupt local ecosystems. Over time, these once cherished bamboos are now seen as problems—known as “bamboo pollution.” Instead of simply discarding bamboo for the sake of conservation, researchers looked for ways to use it effectively. They discovered that bamboo from Yamaguchi is especially rich in minerals, and thus began developing active mineral products with high moisturizing and antioxidant properties using these materials.
