The Bamboo associated Art Tradition, which dates back to the colonial era of Sri Lanka, is an important and valuable art form unique to Sri Lanka. Accordingly, this is still seen in various parts of Sri Lanka today, and it is because of the bamboo resources in the country that it has become such an industry. That is why today the bamboo resource in Sri Lanka has become a raw material to support the household economy. There are about 14 species of bamboo in the bamboo resource of Sri Lanka, most of which are cultivated and the rest are found in botanical gardens. It is also the most mountainous type of bamboo bush in the country. These are found in all three major climatic zones of Sri Lanka and surveys have shown that Ochlandra Stridula and Bambusa are the most common endemic species in the country. The highest distribution of these is in the Kalutara area. In terms of the use of this resource of such value, it is used for the home craft industry, housing and construction. Although thi

Among the industries that are able to showcase the creative potential of the Sri Lankans, the most popular are the Cane, Reed and Bamboo industries which are the most popular in the rural areas. Today, special attention is being paid to such fields. This is because of the fact that substandard plastic products are now closer to people's lives. The use of plastic equipment results in the addition of a number of wastes to the earth that have not decayed over the years and are difficult to recycle. They directly and indirectly affect not only humans and animals but also plants. The best way to control the ingress of this non-recyclable material into the environment, which is one of the most serious problems today, is to use products made from natural reeds, bamboo and canes in our daily lives. In the past, people who lived in rural areas used canes, bamboo, and reeds as raw materials to make utensils, boxes, and mats needed for everyday life. But today, with the advent of modern techn

Sri Lanka is one of the fascinators destinations in the map of the Indian Ocean. Not only the beauty of the country but also the folk art and culture of the country made a great contribution to this. Among those folk arts, mask art has a special place. Mask art has been a traditional folk art form in Sri Lanka for centuries and is closely associated with various cultures as well as dance traditions and rituals. Tourists have a great love for such fascinating arts unique to Sri Lanka. One of the main reasons why the Southern Province, which is a major tourist destination, is gaining traction is the popularity of mask art centered in the Southern Province. This is due to the fact that tourists are eager to see the beautifully colored masks as well as the rituals and dances performed using them. Today, mask showrooms and museums have been set up not only in the Southern Province but also in various parts of Sri Lanka for the purpose of attracting tourists, which has increased the interest
