[IN PRAISE OF FORESTS]

More than two-thirds of the Japanese archipelago is forested.
Consequently, Japanese people have long found a variety of uses
for wood, from the construction of shrines, temples and houses,
to the development of all manner of crafts. We look at how
the Japanese people have nurtured, developed and repaired
the forests, and introduce some of the uses-both traditional
and modern-to which the forests are put.
