How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees.
Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings.
They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers.
The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time.
There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way.
There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time.
The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.

Working with other 1st world countries through the UN, to provide resources they need to establish a safe secure livelihood where they can thrive? we can manage to "afford" those expenses, @donaldtrump should be all over this opportunity, UK as well @BBCWorld@10DowningStreet
How about too, instead of just booting people back to their countries. We set them up with the infrastructure they need to go back and gentrify their communities wherever they may be,

@Odyne_LaFee What about actually being a good person - but since so many have put a bad rep on something you are interested in, that makes you seem questionable? Like being an aspiring philanthropist,
and hip hop artists for instance...
@MelissaLMRogers@PierrePoilievre By partner do you mean became the 53rd state or w.e they were going on about? That's crazy talk. We have been partnered up since the end of the War of 1812 practically. If we really want to be a stronger nation, we have to ban what is weakening us (corruption) & promote wellness
@DanielTyrie Far right people do not understand what Canadian culture is. Idk if thats you, but i know people like that and they are so far from understanding multiculturalism it isn't even funny. Aboriginal people are the ones who know most about this great nations culture, not white washers
@JohnRustad4BC ...just as people see this political segregation EXTREMELY IGNORANT, ignoring what really matters, failing to learn from each other, unwilling to let go of toxic cognitive dissonance, holding us back as individuals and supposedly being "great" nations.
Accept ppl 4 who they are
@JohnRustad4BC Any extreme group preaches hate, this includes far right and left activists. We must abolish this idiocratic political left/right dual system, dividing nations that are supposed to be most well off. Ppl used to be divided by race, now 99.9% see that as stupid...
@hamguys1@TheSpec Do you think you'd be any different if you experienced life through his point of view?
There wouldnt be criminals, if there wasn't a need to commit crimes.
Part of the issue is people like you arent doing enough to give back - not just material wealth, spiritual guidance.
@TheSpec RIP to Zak Rogers, 1 of my friends back in the day. Sure some people want to lack acumen and misjudge guys like him for not living up to their own standards of how people should be. But they fail to see we are victims of a corrupt caste system, that creates "2nd class" citizens .
@hamguys1@TheSpec What do you expect? This world is ran by criminals, corruption permeates every part of the government. Yes things are getting better. But that is the culture young men like him grow up facing. They dont have divine faith, or believe in karma, bc of witnessing such atrocities...
@Amibug96@TheSpec Maybe if the system had better ways to help youth learn self control, to turn their negative circumstances around into something positive and not have to deal with the constant stigma of growing up to a less fortunate family, we could see a day where predicaments like this end.
@CHCHNews The way you guys say "boy" makes an already bad sounding story sound even worse. Couldnt you use the term " young man " or " male victim". How old was he, was it some sort of retaliation, or a random act ? Why did it happen ? These are the questions we want answered...
@prettipinkme@CHCHNews Woah, not all of us are like that. What makes you think so nihilistically...?
Careful what you wish for.
If anything you should be blaming this broken system we live under.
To me it seems like a targeted attack for whatever reason.
@AntonioTweets2 Hmm that's a good question...
I have innovations, but because I'm not from a rich family I don't have the support to get them out of fruition into the real world.
Unfortunately - fascism strikes again.
