It can be said that the revegetation technology in Japan was started in 1960's when Japan entered into the era of high-growth economy. In the beginning, the revegetation technology was mainly applied on the man made slopes, and with the time, the fields of the revegetation technology have been extended to the urban landscaping, ecosystem conservation, prevention of desertification and so on. With the progress of the revegetation technology and the expansion of its fields, new problems have occurred. In this paper, I introduced the history of The Japanese Society of Revegetation Technology and the present condition, and discussed about the problems of the revegetation technology in Japan.
