Comments: | In a childrens' text book written for Japanese children it carries the sentence as follows:- 竹ひごで、もけいひこうきをつくりました。 Basically, someone made a model plane with bamboo sticks. Searching around, there are a good number of general Google hits with many referring to "bamboo lottery", but the Google images provide a better picture of the wider use. For example: games, modelling, etc.. Finding support was more difficult for the novice, maybe a little like the "kimono"!! However, I guess that all Japanese children would know, at least, if they had read the above text book. |
