GOOD NATURE STATION, a mixed-use commercial facility operated by BIOSTYLE Co., Ltd., is hosting an exhibition titled 'Connecting Forests and Lives — The Shape of Circulation through Mokuwaku® —' from Saturday, May 23, to Sunday, June 28, 2026, as a special program for 'Environment Month 2026.' This exhibition invites visitors to reflect on Japan's forests through the use of 'Mokuwaku®,' a domestic solid wood furniture line.
The exhibition introduces the work of foresters and craftsmen through the display of 'Mokuwaku®' furniture. This furniture is designed to change its form according to the user's life stage, allowing for long-term use. Choosing such furniture contributes directly to forest protection, with a portion of sales supporting acorn planting activities.
Exhibition and Experience Highlights: - 'Mokuwaku®' Display: Recreating living scenes where the furniture transforms like building blocks, alongside 'Mini Mokuwaku®' items made from wood from 10 different production regions across Japan. - Storytelling: A concept video tracking the journey from forestry, sawmilling, and drying to the skills of craftsmen. - Interactive Content: 'Mokuwaku® Production Region Diagnosis,' reconfiguration experiences, and a wood grain learning corner. - QR Codes: Advanced exhibition of the 'This Tree, That Tree' edition, launching in autumn 2026, allowing users to verify tree origins via Google Maps. - Sales: Selling direct-from-origin wooden products like Shizuoka tea chests and Yoshino cedar coasters.
Workshops: - Wood burning welcome board creation (May 30) - Kyoto cedar craftwork (June 6)
