A towel starts in the forest.🌲💧In Imabari, the city and towel industry manage forests tied to towel making water. Professionals thin trees, clear undergrowth, while association members and locals plant. Beyond the factory, the industry cares for the resources behind its craft.

Hundreds of flowers from one chrysanthemum—and every year, the display starts again. 🌼 At Shinjuku Gyoen, Ozukuri takes over a year to shape one plant into a broad semicircle of blooms. The flowers fade, but the skill to recreate the landscape is passed on. ✨

To protect nature, sometimes you have to pull out plants. 🏜️🌬️ At the Tottori Sand Dunes, vegetation can stabilize the sand and reduce its movement. Conservation includes thinning plants where needed—helping keep a living dune shaped by sand, wind and plants. ✨

Around 10 short-tailed albatrosses were rediscovered on Japan’s Torishima in 1951. The 2026 estimate: 11,067. 🕊️ Passing 10,000 is a major milestone—but not the finish line. Restoring habitat, tracking birds and establishing new breeding sites: the work continues. 🌱

Sometimes the fastest way forward is sideways. 🌉 Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited led Daishi Bridge’s replacement: the new bridge slid into place during a two-week closure. An IABSE 2025 award recognized limited disruption, earthquake resistance and easier maintenance. 🏆

Every winter, daikon towers rise.🏗️ Miyazaki’s cold, dry Wanizuka Oroshi winds help dry daikon on six-meter-high racks, while farmers carefully monitor the weather and drying conditions—a winter food tradition shaped by the local climate and human skill.🌱

30 minutes can change what you do before a sudden downpours. ⛈️ At Expo 2025 Osaka, researchers tested a system using next-generation radars and the supercomputer Fugaku to forecast intense rain up to 30 minutes ahead. More warning can mean more time to act. 📱☔

A meeting ends. A different kind of dialogue begins outside. 🌿 At UNESCO headquarters in Paris, specialists from Japan helped restore Isamu Noguchi’s Garden of Peace in 2025. Cultural diplomacy also means caring for shared spaces where people connect across cultures. 🤝
