Knotted Beauty -- How the Japanese cedar tree found new life
World War II caused tremendous environmental damage to Japan, the majority of the country being forested land. During the post-war reforestation projects, Japan was implanted with an influx of Japanese cedar trees, (Cryptomeria Japonica) as they were easy to plant and would grow quickly. During this post-war restoration period and the expansion years afterwards, timber from Japan’s forestlands made up a substantial contribution to Japan’s economic expansion.
