Abstract
Systematically reading the "Kojiki" or in another name "Japan Syoki' myth, we understand that cultural images such as bamboo, bamboo forest, bamboo shoot, as well as many tools made of bamboo, for instance, dustpan, comb, arrow, chopsticks, bamboo sticks, bamboo knife, etc. are the refraction and imaginary representation of ancient Japanese bamboo culture in the mythological literatures. It reflects the following characteristics of bamboo culture in ancient times, i. e., long-history, psychic witchcraft, varieties, and profound connotations. It also implies the historical secret of indigenous people, i. e., Terran Falcon bullied in ancient times.
