The wood of the Japanese cedar is prized for its durability, light weight, and resistance to decay. It is often used in the construction of temples, shrines, and traditional Japanese homes, as well as in modern applications such as furniture and building materials. The tree’s fragrant wood is also used in the production of incense.
The Japanese cedar is native to Japan, where it is called Sugi. It’s commonly found in forests and is a key part of the country’s forestry industry. Beyond Japan, it's also grown in other regions, including parts of China and Taiwan, as well as in the United States.
