    With focusing on Taiwan’s position in “Southern Expansion” of the Japanese empire, this paper traces the history of forestry policy of the Government General of Taiwan and the development of scientific researches of the forestry experiment stations in colonial Taiwan under the Japanese rule, and make clear characteristics of forest management by the Japanese empire forestry. With regard to the forestry policy, camphor production in Fujian Province of southern China and the management of camphor tree in the reservation area of indigenous people were closely related with each other, and the “forest survey” for defining the ownership of forest area in colonial Taiwan was very strict and most of the forest in Taiwan was classified as national forest. With regard to the scientific researches of the forestry experiment stations, many researchers made experimental researches on plantation and forest production of tropical forest resource to meet the demand of Japanese empire along with the intensification of the Asian-Pacific War.

    There is a growing interest in research that reveals the reality of organizations, networks and transference from the perspective of individual foresters. In order to compare the forestry between the Japanese empire and its colonies, this study examined the experiences of a forester named Otosaku Saito in Taiwan during the early years of Japanese occupation and in Yamanashi Prefecture after enactment of the Forest Act. In Taiwan, he was engaged in educating native inhabitants, contributed to the ascent of the East Peak of Yushan as well as to the discovery of the genus Cypress, but returned to Japan after an incident during the Alishan Forest survey. In Yamanashi, he confronted the Imperial Estates Bureau (IEB) using facts aimed to incorporate the communal land owned by the IEB into the forest reserve. His proposal concerning the use of local resources was considered reasonable. Saito was a ‘generalist forester’ who, in addition to possessing the necessary academic knowledge for forestry, was able to respond flexibly to practical challenges in the field. In the early days of the Japanese empire, foresters were sage reformers who were able to build on the body of knowledge by providing ‘on-the-spot knowledge’ regarding practical field work.

    In Japan, forestry seedling producers and production have been declining since the 1960s. However, clear-felling areas expanded throughout the 2010s and a steadier supply of seedlings for reforestation is required. In 2017 we conducted interviews with all five seedling producers who produced container seedlings in Ibaraki Prefecture to clarify the actual conditions of seedling production, including the production processes of bare-root and container seedlings, and the challenges of sustaining a steady supply of seedlings. Results are as follows: (1) they considered seedling production a main business using between 1.4 and 4.3 ha of their land, and produced 56,000 to 200,000 stems in their nurseries (0.5 to 2.0 ha), (2) they produce bare-root and container seedlings according to demand, (3) they want to increase the production of container seedlings, which is relatively easy, but securing labor is an important issue, and (4) they consider securing a labor force to be an important issue in the future, and that container seedling production, which is relatively easy to manage, is effective in solving that issue. Clarifying the outlook for the demand for whole seedlings, developing production technology and solving the problem of securing labor are necessary to ensure a steady supply of seedlings.
