The morning light filtered through the gauze curtain and fell into the ceramic vase in the corner. The bunch of five-forked bamboo leaves seemed to have just returned from the misty field. The veins of the leaves are faintly visible in the light and shadow, and the slender tips of the leaves quiver slightly. When the fingertips gently touch them, although they lack the moisture of real leaves, it seems as if a wind carrying the fragrance of green grass is blowing from the wilderness deep in the memory. Freeze the fleeting natural poetry into an eternal rhythm.
Placing this bundle of five-pronged bamboo leaf grass at home is like bringing the scent of the wilderness into the concrete jungle. The bookcase placed in the living room contrasts beautifully with the simple pottery and yellowed thread-bound books. The agility of the leaves breaks the dullness of the space and adds a touch of wild charm to the Chinese style. Placed in a Nordic-style study, the minimalist white vase contrasts with the natural form of the five-spotted bamboo leaf grass, creating the imperfection and blank space in the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Even in a modern and simple bedroom, a few random bundles of grass placed in a glass bottle can make one feel as if they were on a meadow where the morning dew has not yet dried when getting up and grooming in the morning.
The five-pronged bamboo leaf grass bundle, this realistic art piece interwoven with technology and craftsmanship, is a deep tribute to nature and an unwavering pursuit of a poetic life. It enables us to hear the wind in the fields and witness the passage of the four seasons in the blink of an eye without having to travel far. When this never-fading bundle of grass quietly blossoms, it tells not only the story of the plants but also people’s eternal yearning for a peaceful life.
