18-1 Sun-dried bamboo
Sun-bleached bamboo: Boil the madake (true bamboo) in hot water to remove the color and fat from the bamboo.
To find fibers suitable for filament, Edison collected hair samples from men and women of different ages, and what he arrived at was the straight bamboo from the Hachiman Shrine in Mount Otokuyama, Kyoto. He created prototypes using bamboo from around the world, but there was no material that surpassed the bamboo from Otokuyama. Today, a monument to Edison stands at the top of Otokuyama.
