BAMBOO FIBERS ARE UTILIZED TO SERVE AS A REINFORCING MATERIAL AND FOR MANUFACTURING AN INORGANIC MOLDED BODY. IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THE BAMBOO FIBERS WITH EXCELLENT DURABILITY, IN A FIRST STEP BAMBOO MATERIAL IS COMPRESSED TO BE ROUGHLY CRUSHED AND IN A SECOND STEP THE ROUGHLY CRUSHED BAMBOO MATERIAL IS FIBERIZED USING A GRINDING MACHINE. THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE BAMBOO MATERIAL SUBJECTED TO THE FIRST STEP IS SET TO BE MORE THAN 65AFTER THE COMPLETION OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE FIRST AND SECOND STEPS A DRYING STEP IS TAKEN SO THAT THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE BAMBOO MATERIAL IS ADJUSTED TO WITHIN THE RANGE OF 3 TO 35
