十塊木頭,十個故事.

Ten Woods, Ten Stories

-        Camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora)

樟樹有較細緻的紋理,樹身帶有香味,樹死後會將樹木保留作為工藝品的原料.不過,樟樹是有用的木材,所以在戰爭其間,掠奪樟樹也是其中一個常見行為.

The bark of Camphor tree has more detailed textures (rough and fissured vertically) and the wood with an odor.  When the tree dies, the wood is usually saved as raw materials for handicrafts.  Camphor tree is a useful timber.  So, in wartimes, plundering of Camphor was very common.
