Learn about wood grain patterns and their visual and sensory characteristics in this Japanese lecture from the Kyoto University Faculty of Agriculture's Forest Science Forum No. 5. Professor Masashi Nakamura from the Graduate School of Agriculture explores the seemingly simple yet complex nature of wood grain through research on its aesthetic and perceptual properties. Part of a larger forum on "Wood Coexisting with Humans: From Past to Future," the presentation includes an introduction to the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere, discussions on wood grain research, demonstrations of earthquake simulation software for wooden houses, and concludes with an interactive Q&A session featuring expert panelists from various forestry-related departments.
