KYOTO—City officials are attempting to combat a return of graffiti marring Arashiyama’s bamboo forest, one of Kyoto’s most beloved tourist destinations.
Ok, so we can rule out some influencer shit going on that I had in mind.
Still… perhaps it is because we don’t have any bamboo around were l live, as I still don’t get the “why”.
Is it easy to carve? Some eastern tradition? I would never even consider it, also as bamboo doesn’t even look like a good place to carve something, not to speak of being the garden part of a freakin’ temple.
Or is it because bamboo is generally seen more as a fast-growing throw-away item?
Saw a video about tourism problems in Norway. They have old wooden buildings there and people not only carve stuff in, they actually rip pieces out to take with them. It’s just that many people have no respect and think the world is their personal playing field.
On top of that, once someone starts messing with things, others see it as an invitation to do the same.
“Broken window theory”.
Yes, was also thinking along that line.
That would also mean that the green bands covering the stuff up are a sensible measure.
