Bamboo in Falling Snow

Pictures by The stencil cutters of Japan

White bamboo bends under falling snow on a deep navy ground, taken from a Japanese katagami, a paper stencil cut in the 1800s for dyeing cloth. Bamboo keeps its leaves all winter and springs back once the snow slides off, a quiet picture of resilience. For someone getting back on their feet.
