・Bamboo Products
Active use of thinned wood and neglected bamboo forests
Fast-growing bamboos can reach a height of about 15 meters in 60 to 80 days.
・Bamboo also grows underground stems and reproduces one after another, making it an efficient source of resources.
・On the other hand, because of its strong vitality and fertility, neglected bamboo forests have become a problem, ・especially in the Kyushu region.
・Neglected bamboo forests erode satoyama and cause the ecosystem to collapse.
・Yamashita Kogei is actively developing products using bamboo from abandoned bamboo forests.
