In Philippine mythology, one of the more famous creation accounts tells of the first man, "Malakás" ("Strong"), and the first woman, "Maganda" ("Beautiful"), each emerged from one half of a split bamboo stem on an island formed after the battle between Sky and Ocean. In Malaysia, a similar story includes a man who dreams of a beautiful woman while sleeping under a bamboo plant; he wakes up and breaks the bamboo stem, discovering the woman inside. The Japanese folktale "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" ("Taketori Monogatari") tells of a princess from the Moon emerging from a shining bamboo section. Hawaiian bamboo "('ohe)" is a "kinolau" or body form of the Polynesian creator god Kāne.
