Pseudosasa japonica, the arrow bamboo^[2] or metake,^[3] is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to Japan and Korea. This vigorous bamboo forms thickets up to 6 m (20 ft) tall with shiny leaves up to 25 cm (9.8 in) long.^[3] The culms are typically yellow-brown and it has palm-like leaves. The common name "arrow bamboo" results from the Japanese Samurai using its hard and stiff canes for their arrows.^[5] It grows up to 4 cm (1.6 in) a day.^{[citation needed]}
