On Tuesday, December 8, 2nd year of Reiwa, the donation ceremony of “Wooden benches” made by the wood cut out from “Aso Taikan no Mori” owned by Higo Bank and our foundation, was held at the lobby of the Kumamoto Prefectural Government Building to donate for 6 elementary and junior high schools in the prefecture.<\/p>\n

Mr. Yamaki, Deputy President of Higo Bank and also the council member of our Foundation, said “The use and touching of those benches by the children who will lead the next generation of Kumamoto, induce the feeling of the wood that has grown over many years in the wilderness of Aso. And then, they will be interested in the various functions of forests, such as “groundwater recharge,” “absorption of carbon dioxide” and “flood control and disaster prevention. We hope so.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next, Mr. Ikebe, the representative student of the Aso Chuo Senior High School Green Environment Department, who worked on the bench production, said, “Although We had the difficulties in the work schedule including painting process because of Corona problem, We felt so happy to be entrusted with this important production work. We are also stirred to be able to deliver it safely.\u201d The feature of this bench is that it is manufactured by the traditional Japanese house construction method called “Komisen”, which uses hard and durable oak wood for the joints of wood without using any nails and metal fittings.<\/p>\n
