GOOD NATURE STATION, a mixed-use commercial facility operated by BIOSTYLE Co., Ltd., is hosting an exhibition titled 'Connecting Forests and Lives — The Shape of Circulation through Mokuwaku® —' from Saturday, May 23, to Sunday, June 28, 2026, as a special program for 'Environment Month 2026.' This exhibition invites visitors to reflect on Japan's forests through the use of 'Mokuwaku®,' a domestic solid wood furniture line.
The exhibition introduces the work of foresters and craftsmen through the display of 'Mokuwaku®' furniture.

- Storytelling: A concept video tracking the journey from forestry, sawmilling, and drying to the skills of craftsmen.
- Interactive Content: 'Mokuwaku® Production Region Diagnosis,' reconfiguration experiences, and a wood grain learning corner.
- QR Codes: Advanced exhibition of the 'This Tree, That Tree' edition, launching in autumn 2026, allowing users to verify tree origins via Google Maps.
- Sales: Selling direct-from-origin wooden products like Shizuoka tea chests and Yoshino cedar coasters.
Workshops:
- Wood burning welcome board creation (May 30)
- Kyoto cedar craftwork (June 6)
