Butterfly-shaped Rattangle – Bamboo Craft Techniques in Taiwan
A staple of Taiwanese bamboo crafts from the Japanese period to modern times, rattan can often be seen on the handles of all kinds of bamboo baskets in the form of a butterfly-shaped rattanlge,
named after the layers of rattan peels that entangle the bamboo object in an X shape, much like the wings of a butterfly.
