There are two basic types of bamboo water fountains. The traditional stationary fountain consists of multiple hollow bamboo chutes with one chute typically placed upright or angled along the edge of the fountain reservoir for water flow. The other type is the shishi-odoshi (or deer chaser) fountain.

A shishi-odoshi bamboo fountain is originally used by Japanese farmers to scare off deer and boar from crops. It was later used in gardens as their movement provided an element of change. As the water flows from the bamboo spout or other water garden dripping fountain, the knocking portion fills and spills the water creating a rhythmic knocking sound as it hits a rock.

In Asian cultures, bamboo is a symbol of longevity, friendship, straightforwardness, hard working, optimism, unity, and adaptability. Moving water is said to bring good luck and prosperity to its surroundings, the use of bamboo fountains is ideal within a home’s environment. The water is said to rejuvenate and move stagnant chi and add a proper balance of chi within that particular area. It makes sense; stagnant water will eventually become murky and lifeless but running water rejuvenates and refreshes.

Bamboo can be cut into various designs and, of course, it creates a natural channel through which water can flow. A bamboo water fountain has always been known that the peaceful sound of trickling water has a relaxing and calming effect on any environment. Would you like to have the soothing and tranquil benefits of moving water and create a beautiful natural bamboo fountain in your garden or home?

The Bamboo water fountains can be kept either indoors or outdoors. Bamboo spout kits also make it easy to incorporate multiple water fountains in your garden at a reasonable cost. This will allow you to choose different yet complementary designs, and enjoy an Asian theme throughout your garden or your home. They are also lightweight and easy to set up. There are no plumbing fixtures required and, aside from the power source, some of the fountain units can be used with a variety of sizes of containers.

In the theory of Feng Shui, it is said that in order to protect the entrance of your home, or to prevent negative external energy from entering your home – you should place a water feature close to the front door. You can accomplish this with either an outdoor feature such as a fish bond or fountain, or a small pond or fountain feature very close to the door or entry way.

If you want to add an Asian inspired water feature to your home (let’s say you are implementing various Feng Shui enhancements) but do not have the space for a large floor fountain, choose a table top fountain instead. You will reap the positive energy benefits of adding the water element while also conserving space.

Generally speaking, the sound of water has a very calming effect on people. Because of this, Asian inspired water fountains in or outside of the homes has become a very popular trend in Western culture. The practice finds it’s roots in the Japanese theory of Feng Shui. Not only does water bring a tranquil energy, but it is also the ancient symbol
of wealth and prosperity.

When using a water feature as a Feng Shui cure, there are a few things that you want to be mindful of. For starters, do not place a water feature in the south area of your home – refer to the bagua map if you to understand “where” the south area is. That part of your home is represented by the fire energy and is directly connected to fame and reputation. If you add water to that area, you are essentially “quenching” or dosing the fire energy which will have a negative impact on your reputation. You also do not want to add it to your bedroom as it will usher in the energy of worry.
