1) Why is pine tree important?
Throughout history we Japanese have valued beautiful sightseeing spots such as Matsushima ("Matsu no Shima"), Miyajima, Amanohashidate as "Japan's three scenic spots". If you look at the photos of these places, you will notice that certain plants form an important background in every area. It is "pine".
Pine has been widely used as a building material, fuel, and as a component of windbreak forest to prevent the sea breeze from the sea. Pine trees are strong against salt and can grow even in soil dried with poor nutrition, so even now it is no longer used as building materials, planting activities on the coast are continuing as windbreak forests. It is also important as a raw material for industrially important rosin.
Thus, pine which is an important plant in many ways has been lost on a global scale in recent years due to the epidemic of pathogenic microorganisms.
