The Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees. In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.The technique helped to produce lumber that’s way more dense than that of a regular sugi 

Japan is an intriguing country (especially for an outsider) that never ceases to amaze and inspire people by striving for perfection. It appears that the pursuit of excellence is something that’s deeply embedded in the culture, and it shows in different areas of life and various ways. 

The majority of us are already familiar with the concept of bonsai—a Japanese art form dating back over a thousand years, which produces small trees that mimic the appearance of full-size trees. But many still haven’t heard about daisugi. While its technique has similarities to that of bonsai, the result it produces is vastly different.

Apparently, this technique that dates back to the 14th century was news to a lot of people. Having received more than 17k likes on Twitter, the post written by the user Wrath Of Gnon went viral on other social media platforms as well, including Imgur and Reddit. Originally invented by the people of the region of Kitayama, the method was used to solve the problem of shortage of seedlings. There is little flat land in the region, and planting and raising trees on the steep slopes proved extremely difficult. As a result, daisugi tailoring allowed arborists to reduce the number of plantations, make the harvest cycle faster, and produce denser wood as well.

Over the years, the popularity of such tree tailoring has declined. Today, these types of cedar mostly grow in well-kept gardens because of their slender and elegant appearancehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1P0Ba0F_DwYTom947IvB8winstgram ı: https://www.instagram.com/anatolianleo

Every now and then a man’s mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.

Imagine if nationalists all over Europe were:

Helping poor White families.

Getting the White homeless back on their feet.

Setting up social centres for disenfranchised White youth.

Cleaning up and protecting the environment.

Taking care of elderly Whites.

And stating frankly we do this because we love our people and our country.

Meanwhile, the Left shit all over the average White person and the countries they call home.

Who do you think is going to get more support and sympathy?

Helping our people is the key to everything.

1) addressing social inequality - actually addressing, not “we are going to fix poverty by making child labor legal again” - is by definition a leftist thing so you’re going to have to all be strasserists or nazbols or something

2) well yeah? why don’t you? at all? why does this just not happen and never have? Almost like white nationalism is reliant on not having any empathy. Wild.

>shit all over the irish

> successfully eradicate their customs, endanger their language and force them to assimilate

> call them paddies and taigs

> black and brown people make a presence post-colonisation era since ireland wasnt enough

> start calling for “white” pride

😂

So am I understanding this correctly: if you were ever racist or oppressive in the past, you’re not allowed pride? A simple yes or no answer will suffice.
