Wood wool made of fluffy wood woolen cypress. Enjoy the incense, make it a cushion, and recruit participants' ideas!

"Owase Hinoki", which features bright redness and beautiful luster-It seems that its resilience became a hot topic during the Great Kanto Earthquake. It seems that a lot of products are being produced using wood wool. The incense of cypress is also famous in Japanese cypress wood bath.

Deodorant effect derived from cypress wood wool can be expected. Trees, as can be seen from the effects of forest bathing, are organic compounds called terpenes, which have a refreshing scent that refreshes both physically and mentally. In addition to the refreshing effect, they also have antibacterial, insect repellent, deodorizing, and deodorizing effects.

Using cypress blocks made by fittings craftsmen, make a pen stand-up 4/29-5/3 10:00 each day 10:00 First 10 people

Furniture is better to feel the warmth of wood than plastic. Let's make a pencil stand with a cypress block and decorate it on the study desk!

It's good to paint your favorite color to make a colorful pencil stand, but it's also nice to enjoy the grain and color of the cypress as it is.

Let's play in the pool covered with 4,000 cypress balls!

Owase Hinoki It seems that artificial reforestation began in 1630. Owase, a mountainous area, has not been suitable for rice cultivation since ancient times, and Owase City and Kihoku City have been active since 1850 in heavy rain areas with an average of more than 3,800 mm per year, and cypress trees suitable for natural conditions that have many thin areas. Currently, cypress accounts for 90% of artificial forests. We have produced high-quality cypress in an environment where cypress growth is slow due to thin areas.

In order to verify the goodness of wood materials, we created three types of ball pools with different materials for cypress balls, plastic balls, and golf balls, and measured the physiological reactions of first- to third-year students. As a result, there was a tendency for relaxation to increase parasympathetic nervous system activity only when entering the hinoki ball pool. It was suggested that a physiologically relaxed state was induced, and the material was blindfolded so that the material could not be understood, and it was confirmed that the tree was a material that could have a positive effect on the child physiologically even with tactile sensation and aroma alone. It has been demonstrated that direct contact with trees has a positive physiological and psychological effect. Sumitomo Forestry Survey

Let's play with hinoki building blocks!

Condominiums have increased in urban areas, and wooden houses have decreased. However, it is now being reviewed to incorporate wooden tists into the interior of condominiums. Please play with building blocks and enjoy building a wooden house and what you can do.

In 1838, Frabel, the founder of early childhood education, devised a building block as a playground equipment that conveys the power of things to maintain balance, the power of falling off balance, and the balance itself. The building blocks have been played for nearly 200 years since then.

Building blocks are naturally considered to be the closest toy and are also called "indoor sandbox".

The simpler the building blocks are, the easier it is for children to add imagination and play. Adults tend to give complex shapes and colored building blocks, but they're hard to play, so children get bored quickly. Good building blocks are beautiful no matter what they are made. You can easily enjoy the sense of accomplishment that wonderful things have been made. You will be able to learn physical concepts as well as building blocks that break down when properly stacked, the ability to control yourself, and at the same time.

Making cypress eco humidifiers-Let's bundle the cypress thinly cut with canna!

It's a good idea for eco-use of cypress. Works using cypress cut thinly in canna not only humidifiers, but also brooches and various works can be made. Please try it by all means.

The characteristic of sucking cypress water well seems to evaporate at about 10 speeds compared to the state in which water is put in a cup. A humidifier that does not use electricity is real eco.

Kubb KUBB-This is a Swedish-born new sport where you can enjoy throwing a wooden stick.

It means firewood in Swedish. A long time ago, during the Viking era, it is said that the origin of Kubb was that he started playing on Gotland Island, Sweden using firewood that was under the eaves of any house at that time.

I hope that Sweden-born sports with lots of forests and trees will become a boom in Japan.

Kub is a two-team hit / camp game in which a wooden stick is thrown against each other and the target of the tree is defeated. The center line is drawn in the center, and the two teams face each other to play the game. Place five bass cubs (square pillars) on the baseline (5m) of both teams, and place one large piece of wood called King in the middle of the coat.

At the moment the Castpinna hits the cub, the trees collide and the pleasant sound of "Khan" sounds, so you can immerse yourself in the exhilaration that you can say anything.

"Is it bad to cut a tree in the forest? Is it a good thing?" "Do you think the forest around us is fine now? Don't you think you're fine? What is the reason for this?

In the media, problems such as deforestation, desertification, and global warming are often addressed, and most children think it is bad to cut trees. However, until the 1940s, the materials and fuel needed for daily life were collected by ourselves, and the forest was used in a well-balanced manner so that the forest could not be stopped. As a result, the forest was always cared for, the sun was shining, and it grew well without being covered with vines. But what about the current forest? At first glance, forests that look rich are now becoming more and more rough without human access. If the trees in the forest die or fall down, disasters such as landslide are more likely to occur, and various functions of the forest will not work.

□ The tree is wrapped around the vine (the tightening of the vine prevents the growth of the tree, or is covered with the leaves of the vine to block sunlight). □ A narrow space between trees (only thin trees grow due to lack of nutrition) □ The forest is dark and there is no undergrowth at all (if not exposed to sunlight, even undergrowth does not grow, the variety of plants decreases, and it is not suitable for every corner of animals) □ It is full of undergrowth and cannot be entered (if too much undergrowth, small trees will not grow)

In this way, it is important to protect the culture of wood as a Japanese in the future by protecting the forest and using trees.
