Cedar, Cypress and Cherry: A look at Trees and Forestry in Japan
Dear KFOTT Member,
We are delighted to announce details of our second winter presentation this season, presented by Peter Blandon and invite our members and guests to join this event.
Talk Commences at 2.30pm
Wednesday 11th March 2026
Loose Pavilion Hall, Walnut Tree Lane, Loose, Maidstone. ME15 9RG
Peter studied forestry and economics at university, and a decade later, in 1984, spent two years as Visiting Professor at Tokyo University’s Forestry Department. Later he spent two periods spent as lecturer at the University of Tsukuba during which time he carried out statistical work on the demand and supply of Japanese timber.
In this presentation Peter will be looking at the general role of trees in Japan and Japanese culture and how it is that the Japanese Forestry Agency can claim that the Japanese has “established a unique living style called the ‘culture of wood’”.
Please join me on 11th March in Loose to listen to this fascinating presentation.
