Abstract

Shiiba village has been believed to be the birthplace of Japanese folklore. The traditional name and usage of 69 tree species growing in Okawachi Settlement, Shiiba Village were described based on the hearing investigation from the learned elders of the settlement. Construction wood was chosen mainly from coniferous species in view of the strength, endurance and workability. Furniture and instrument wood were selected from the degree of hardness and density in accordance with the purpose of usage. The tree for mushroom cultivation was determined depending on the compatibility with the fungi and durability of the mushroom bed.
