The Daisugi technique, the sustainable alternative
For 700 years, the Japanese have produced wood without cutting down trees. How? Well, using the extraordinary daisugi technique that was originated in the 14th century. This daisugi technique stipulates that these trees must be planted for future generations and must not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees.

When this technique is applied to cedars, the wood obtained is uniform, straight, and free of knots, making it practically perfect for construction. Pruning is an artistic rule that allows the tree to grow and germinate while still using its wood without ever cutting it down. Pretty smart.
