A type of bamboo or a genus of low-growing bamboo plants, often used in Japanese gardens and landscaping.
From Japanese 笹 (sasa), referring to a specific type of ornamental bamboo. The word has been adopted into English botanical terminology for these particular bamboo species.
Sasa bamboo is special because unlike most bamboos that tower overhead, it spreads sideways and creates a graceful carpet of green—it's the introvert of the bamboo family, preferring to work beneath the canopy rather than tower above it.
