Summary
Japanese cedar is growing mostly in this country, and it is material which can serve as a cause for solving environmental problems, such as preservation of a “Satoyama”, and also global warming prevention, by using them as material for furniture. This design uses Japanese cedar as the material to build furniture– the Japanese cedar that grows in the environs of the areas in Tohoku region that were devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Not only does this design encourage the revitalization of the forests in Japan, but it also provides economic as well as reconstruction support to the people in the disaster-stricken areas who are engaged in forestry and woodworking.
