Japan's 600-Year-Old Daisugi Technique Harvests Timber Without Felling Trees
Daisugi is a traditional Japanese forestry method developed in Kyoto during the 14th century, making it roughly 600 years old.

Originating as a practical solution to limited land availability, it enables sustainable wood production over several centuries. The method is now gaining renewed global interest as deforestation concerns push demand for more environmentally responsible forestry practices.
