Core Kyoto
Kitayama Cedar: Lending a Quality of Polished Dignity and Beauty (5x4)
Ausstrahlung: Mär 02, 2017
The soaring forest of tall, straight cedars in Kitayama, in Kyoto's northwest, is a glorious sight. Kitayama cedar - known for its light color, uniform thickness, and smooth, knotless trunk - is treasured as a material for floors and pillars in Japanese architecture. And daisugi cedars, pruned to produce dozens of tree-like offshoots from one trunk, are prized in gardens for their aesthetic value. Discover the allure of Kitayama cedar through the foresters who inherited their management.
