Pine Trees

Pine trees grow all around Japan, and make essential contributions to the Japanese way of life.

From pine trees come gourmet matsutake mushrooms and fine calligraphy ink.
Since pines can grow in harsh conditions, they are frequently used as windbreaks for homes. Pine trees are also symbols of longevity and abundance. They are often called the "luckiest" tree in Japan.

Unfortunately, pine trees have recently come under attack from a damaging pest that eats away their resin ducts. The search for ways to protect the pines is going on in various parts of Japan.

In one city on Japan's northeastern coast, the tsunami that struck on March 11, 2011, swept away a historic pine grove...except for one single tree. This lone pine became a symbol of hope for the survivors of the disaster.

On this edition of BEGIN Japanology, our theme is pine trees. They provide a window on Japanese lifestyles and ideas of beauty.

  1. Is there any possibility you have episodes of Barasu (sewing) it is broadbcast only on JIB and I cannot get that stream to capture. Another ep airs today as well.

  2. I suggest u try http://embedupload.com/
    which is similar to go4up .com in that it uploads multiple sites for u, including mediafire.

I can't re-post files, sorry. The exception is files that are less than a day old. All mediafire links are broken forever. If you ask nicely and show that you tried but couldn't find the file elsewhere, someone may share it again.
