Japan is the world’s third most forested country, with
forests covering approximately 70% of the nation’s land. The
Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress forests that were
planted after World War II have grown and are now reaching
harvest time. However, 80% of the wood used in Japan is
imported, and demand for domestic timber has fallen. This
has led to the decline of Japan’s forestry industry, and the
country’s forests are starting to degrade.
If forests are taken care of, they will become bright and
healthy. Pruning and thinning brings light into the forests,
helping plants to grow. Rich ecosystems are formed, and the
forests are transformed, becoming more resistant to
landslide disasters.
Using timber from forest thinning as resources and planting
young trees in logging areas will result in a change of
generations, turning them into sustainable resources.

that makes the forest beautiful.
The forest speaks.
It longs to regain its original beauty.
We nurture managed forest rather than abandoning it.
If we use them wisely, we can ensure that the forest thrives
to revitalize neglected managed forests.
AGNI burns conifers cleanly and completely
using its unique combustion structure.
Conifers like cedar and cypress
were once avoided by conventional wood-burning stoves
due to their tendency to burn quickly and at high temperatures
causing damage to the stove and chimney.
Undergrowth wood can be used as energy
contributing to make forest sustainable.
Not only the flames but also the forest and the earth are made beautiful
by AGNI.

For Healthy Forests
Carbon neutral
Softwoods as fuel
Japan’s forests can be broadly divided into planted forests
and natural forests. Planted forests have been grown by human
hands primarily for the purpose of producing timber. Almost
all of these forests are softwood varieties, such as Japanese
cedar and Japanese cypress. AGNI was created as a way to make
use of the wood from the thinning of these forests as energy
in wood stoves and to contribute to forest development. The
use of softwoods such as Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress
has commonly been avoided in wood stoves because they are said
to burn out too quickly and they burn too hot, causing damage
to the stove and flue.
AGNI has responded to these problems with the combination of AGNI Bell Cast (thick-walled inner box construction), which we have cultivated over many years, and our proprietary AGNI Efficient Burning system, realizing clean, complete combustion of softwoods. Softwoods can now be burned with peace of mind as a valuable type of firewood.
