Bamboo bending under strong winds (3). Print

Bamboo shoots bending under strong winds is a highly symbolic image in Asian art. It's a symbol of resilience, strong character, moral integrity. Bending, but not breaking. A person, who withstands hardships. Ink has a cool, bluish tint - I used handmade Japanese ink stick. Bamboo has many positive interpretations - good luck, modesty, tenacity. The beauty of bamboo has been admired for centuries in poetry, calligraphy, and art.
