Fresh and fermented bamboo-shoots are sold at shops. Bamboo-shoots are first carefully packed in green leaves which are subsequently enclosed in a net of thin bamboo splits . This cylindrical package has a wedge-shaped base and is woven in an open-hexagonal weave. Two sets of elements pass under the base to move up the sides inclined in opposite directions, while a third element interlaces the elements of both inclined sets, while moving around the sides as a shallow spiral. At the top the inclined elements are bunched together in a swirl before being bound by a length of bamboo split.
