今日は本から|時を忘れさせるほどに豊かな森は、倒木のある森だ
”As far as I know, an enriched forest that makes you forget about time always has fallen trees. There are no fallen trees in a planted forest. There might be some logged trees waiting to be carried out, but no fallen trees being there to foster the baby trees of next generation. This is true for Japanese gardens, too. They often imitate a natural forest, but they lack fallen trees. No fallen trees raising young trees nor no bugs nesting in them. Much less fallen trees in the parks. Some trees get fallen down because of a typhoon, but they soon will be removed by trucks. You won't experience such a rich time in planted forests, Japanese gardens nor parks. That's only possible in natural forests.”
