I saw a pair of pictures at a friend's parents house in this style. I then searched for photos similar to this style and ran across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Bamboo-Felt-Hut-Palm-Trees-Island-Scene-Asian_W0QQitemZ260423963414QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca27a5316&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116#ebayphotohosting

(I am not the seller, this is the only photo I could find).

I was just wondering if anyone knows the technical name of using bamboo and felt or maybe some history on it? What are the possible origins and when was this popular?
