Abstract

Cryptomeria japonica is generally fast growth-rate species and produces a timber capable of a wide range of uses. In the past this wood had been primarily used as a board for many uses and products since prehistoric times. After World War II, however, the wood has mainly been utilized as a squared timber post (column) including the pith-centered part of the tree stem for house construction up to the present. The forestry of Cryptomeria japonica will need to adjust to the use of wood in the future; the forest management practices should shift from solid wood products mainly for the columns containing large amounts of juvenile wood with unstable and poor in quality wood to the wood supply for the lumbers manufacturing that uses mature wood with stable and high quality wood in the tree to make a variety of boards.
