Japanese Trees

Japanese use trees for many things such as building houses, a wooden bath tab for relaxation and having meals with wooden chopsticks. Even Tokyo's concrete jungle has plenty of trees and greens. Japanese roadside trees give colorful flavors to each season. And you can also see advanced roof greening.

A foreigner fascinated by bonsai came to Japan under apprenticeship. Let's see how foreigners see Japanese people and their relationship with trees.
