With approximately two thirds of its land covered in forests, Japan is a country with abundant forestry resources. Take a closer look at these forests, and how they are managed, with a talk by Iida Shumpei from JETRO London, held in collaboration with Japan’s Forestry Agency.
Coinciding with Japan House’s current gallery exhibition 'The Carpenters' Line' which focuses on the woodworking heritage of the densely forested Hida Takayama area, the talk provides an introduction to Japan's forests and the Japan Forestry Agency's aims and activities.
Exploring the multifunctional roles of forests in Japan, including their capacity for CO2 absorption, Iida discusses new initiatives for sustainable forest management, focusing on the cyclical use of domestic timber in construction and architecture.
During the event there is an opportunity for guests watching in the Hall and on Zoom to ask questions to the speaker.
