Japanese Wood Technology
Japan is a heavily forested country, on par with the Scandinavian countries of Finland and Sweden, known for having the highest forest coverage in the world.
Wood has been incorporated into daily life in Japan since ancient times. Many woodworking techniques have been refined according to those various uses. Earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters are also common in Japan. To withstand these events, Japanese woodworkers have created many high-value-added wood products, using advanced techniques to process superior Japanese lumber.
Here, we explain some of these high-value-added Japanese wood technologies.
