Planting for Forest of Silence at Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai Main Venue For the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, we delivered over 500 trees ranging from 3 to 10 meters in height to be planted in the main venue's “Forest of Silence.” Furthermore, in the “Cycle of Life” project to transplant nearly 1,000 trees originally planted at venues like the 1970 Japan World Exposition (Osaka Expo) to the Forest of Silence, a new transplanting method utilizing a special material developed in the textile materials field was adopted.
