Bamboo is not just a Japanese thing. There are many reasons that ethniticies use bamboo. Japanese and other Asian people are just more likely to use it for reasons in their culture.
The Japanese did insert bamboo into the arms of the POWs and they would also jam sharp bamboo sticks under their fingernails.
"Take (竹)" is for bamboo. "Takenoko (竹の子)" is for a bamboo shoot.
Take.
bamboo is a word and a plant but not a phrase "take"
竹 Read: "Take"
竹 (ta-ke)
The Japanese Knotweed is known as the following names; fleeceflower, Himalayan Fleece vine, monkeyweed, monkey fungus, Hancock's curse, elephant ears, pea shooters, donkey rhubarb, sally rhubarb, Japanese Bamboo, American bamboo, and Mexican bamboo.
It is not true that the Japanese tied their POW's in bamboo fields and the bamboo grew through them overnight. Bamboo grows at an average rate of two inches a year so it could not possibly grow through a person over night.

Sure. Lot's of bamboo. There are some native species but not comercially usable. The most known kinds of bamboo were brought here by the asians, specially Japanese.
