The Japanese are conscious of the lush green of their homeland, which they refer to as 'the green archipelago'. This work states that this lush verdue is not a monument to nature's benevolence and Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, but the hard-earned result of generations of human toil that converted the archipelago into one great forest preserve.
