Business Overview

This exhibition was held to consider "forestry and art" by art artist Nansu Isamu. Starting from family relationships, he focused on his family's forestry business. After actually doing forestry for a month, the documentary footage and cedar branches from the logging were brought from Miyazaki to Tokyo for exhibition. We tried to share the recognition of the forestry which has been responsible for the life of the family and the social problems in Japan seen from the forestry. During the conference, Kentaro Aoki, a natural resources specialist at the United Nations, was invited to give a talk show. Opinions were exchanged from the viewpoints of art and forestry, and future relations between both were examined.
