| Research Activities |
Studies on the supply of large scale timber for repairing wooden cultural properties(2002-2007):
We do research into issues regarding the preparation of materials for repairing wooden historic, cultural buildings in Japan, in order to provide information about forest resources as well as to propose management solutions for eabling continuous maintainance of important cultural properties.

| Future Plan |
Our laboratory intends to perform substantial studies on forest resources management in many different types of stand structures. For example, studies into sustainable forest management systems, analysis of stand structure in a mixed forest with coniferous and broad-leaved species, and biomass productivity of broad-leaved secondary forests.

| Messages to Students |
I think that forests represent one of the best teaching examples for gaining an undestanding of ecosystems and the life sciences. I will demonstrate the universal rule for human society to coexist with nature through human actions on forests. You can join us in our mission of environmental conservation
