Humanity was with the forest.
Where the forest fell, civilization was destroyed.
On the other hand, Japan is a country with a lot of forests.
A lot of CO2 is adhered to, and water is kept again.
It feeds a lot of life and grows up to the sea.
Forests are irreplaceable.
In this photo exhibition, he is also a supporter of more trees.
It was realized with the cooperation of photographers.
While feeling the benefits of nature through works based on the theme of forests, we have been able to feel the benefits of nature.
To keep forests around the world healthy
Let's work together.
more trees!!
Ryuichi Sakamoto
From September 4th to September 23rd, 2009, Ryuichi Sakamoto will hold a charity photo exhibition of "more trees" for the forest creation project "TOUCH WOOD exhibition". This is a photo exhibition on the theme of "forest" by photographers who support the activities of "more trees".
The work will be exhibited and sold in frames using "thinned wood" from the forest of "more trees", and a portion of the sales will be returned to "more trees" for domestic and overseas forest development activities. From the thought of "more trees" interpreted by photographers who are active in various fields and the magnificent message emitted by the forest, many people are interested in the activities of "more trees", and I hope that it will be an exhibition where you can consider forest creation activities together.
☆Why do you use the "thinned wood" frame?
Today, Japanese forests are in danger. The crisis is not due to deforestation, but as a result of leaving artificial forests, which account for a quarter of the country. Japanese forests require thinning. In order to grow healthy, trees need an environment that can be exposed to the sun's light and absorb enough water, just like humans. In this exhibition, we would like to expand the demand for thinned wood by using thinned wood frames. In "more tree", we also consume thinned wood as part of our forest development activities.
※"TOUCH WOOD" is a magical word in English, "Do not cause disaster."
