Creativity is like a river. It flows steadily, sometimes gently carving its path, other times rushing forward with uncontainable force. At its core, creativity is not something that can be captured, held still, or even fully understood.

In the verdant forests of Japan, a time-honored technique known as "daisugi" offers a sustainable and inspiring approach to forestry. Perfected since the 14th century, this method transforms the cedar trees into fountains of life, allowing them to flourish and provide wood multiple times without the need to fell them.
