When you are building a wooden structure or putting yourself in a wooden structure, have you ever thought about the mountains where the trees grew? Mountains are connected to the ocean and furthermore to our lives.

That is why the time has come to choose lumber with a sustainable background. It may not be all straightforward lumber. There may be less expensive lumber.

Still, we should consider not only the convenience of humans, but also the convenience of the mountains. This concept is what is important for the cycle of nature.

We will continue to operate our lumber sawmill so that our community will continue to exist.

As time has gone by, the demand for lumber has declined markedly, aided by a decrease in the number of wooden houses. It is precisely because we live in such an era that we are now even more convinced of the value of Oguni cedar as a high-quality timber that we must convey.
