The article offers information on the cedar trees in Japan. It is noted that after World War II, Japan launched a massive reforestation project by planting Japanese cedar trees due to their ability to grow quickly. During the post-war era and onwards, timber from the country's forests contributed substantially to the economy, according to the author. As of April 2008, Japan still has 67% forest of which 13% is made up of cedar.
