A savings-box made from bamboo (by Pan)

In our childhood, there were many bamboo products used regularly in our daily life just like straw items.
This is because a lot of bamboo grew around us.
Apart from works by professional craftsmen, there were many bamboo items, which we made ourselves.

Recently, I have tried to make some of these items from memory.
Anyone can make them easily.　
All you need to do is cut down a bamboo from a bamboo grove.
First of all, I will tell you how to make a savings-box, which you can make in just a few minutes.

At first, cut down a bamboo and at that time, you should leave the joint in it at both ends, and then a hole is made in the tube in which to insert coins.
If you enlarge the hole a little, a folded note can be put in it.
You can hang it on a nail of a pillar if you make a small hole on the top of the opposite side of this bamboo tube.

The greatest feature of such a savings-box as this, is that you cannot take out the contents unless you break it.

In our childhood, many of us put a little money, which was given to us as a New Year's present into such a box.
And while we were shaking and rattling it, we dreamt happily about what we had wanted to buy for a long time with the money we had saved up in it.
