The third edition of the Into The Woods exhibition at Japanese fashion and lifestyle retailer Lumine Singapore in Clarke Quay will showcase the ideas and innovations of a new generation of craftspeople dedicated to preserving the Yoshino forests.

These man-made forests - considered to be one of the world's oldest afforested plantations - are prized by residents and visitors for reflecting the Japanese people's innate belief in preserving harmony between humans and nature.
At the showcase, check out items such as chairs, tables and tabletop accessories that bring the beauty of Yoshino wood to life through various textures, shapes and hues.
Info: Into the Woods - Crafted from Yoshino Nature will run at Lumine Singapore (6 Eu Tong Sen Street) from Nov 26 to Jan 5. Go to the website.
United Nations marks World Toilet Day on Nov 19 with stamps
The United Nations issued a set of stamps featuring three designs on Nov 19, designated as World Toilet Day, to raise awareness for about 4.2 billion people around the world who live without access to safely managed sanitation.
The stamps are available on the United Nations Postal Administration's (UNPA) webstore (unstamps.org).
The agency issues stamps and postal stationery, denominated in United States dollars for the UN headquarters in New York; in Swiss francs for the UN office in Geneva; and in euros for the office in Vienna.
The designs of the UN World Toilet Day 2021 stamps show paper sculpture techniques depicting three of the most important ways toilets, water and hygiene add value to people's lives - from safely managed sanitary toilet bowls to enclosed structures for the privacy and dignity of women and young girls.
