About
Isaki Kasahara
Japanese Arborist & Tree Diagnosis Specialist
Combining field expertise, scientific insight, and cultural knowledge to share Japanese arboriculture with the world.
Mission
To document and share
Japan's tree culture
from the field.
Japan's gardens, trees, sacred trees, old trees, urban landscapes, and greening practices hold primary knowledge that has yet to be fully shared with the world.
As a field-based practitioner in Japan, I record and communicate this knowledge through arboriculture, science, landscape practice, and cultural perspectives.
This blog explores the relationship between trees, people, cities, and Japanese culture, sharing insights from the field with readers around the world.
