Abstract

We investigated the regional timber distribution network that supports the activities of today’s local builders and carpenters from the following three aspects to understand the actual situation.

1. Trace the historical changes of regional timber and understand the characteristics of architectural production.

2. Conduct interviews with local builders and carpenters to investigate the situation of regional indigenous wooden construction.

3. Conduct interviews with forestry-related people and government officials who have connections through locally produced “Tenryu- Zai” to understand and consider relationships.
