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.

@JoeBiden I dunno Joe. I've never seen homeless drug addicts in my hometown until now. Squatters are making a mess of a lot of properties.

@ABC Theres really much more than an iceberg than its area. How thick is it? What's the volume?

I guess the short burst of freedom and equality for conservatives on @Twitter after the @elonmusk announcement was short lived. It was a fun 10 days though with an almost level playing field.
New Twitter same as the old Twitter.

@jacoblandry Thanks :) I thought I would try to use Twitter more to share things because I don't really like speaking my mind on Facebook

[Eddie Fontaine @tetsuomight]

I'm in the same place I was a year ago, but I feel a lot better about it this year.

Memorial day will mark first day of grill season since going vegetarian. Last summer I was a social meat eater, now I'm full black sheep.
