Throughout the world Christian ideas and worship are expressed through local culture. In the East, and in Japan in particular, bamboo is a key cultural symbol. Its characteristics - shape, flexibility, eternally green leaves and hollow stem - are interpreted in the light of their religious significance. The objective of this book is to stimulate ideas of the relationship between Christ and culture throughout the world.
