Commitment
1. Using Only Precious Wood Over 100 Years Old
We carefully count the tree rings with both our eyes and hands, ensuring that we source only authentic, century-old logs.
Trees that have grown for over a hundred years develop a high ring density, resulting in exquisitely fine and detailed wood grain when milled. Additionally, they offer exceptional durability and strength, making them ideal for timeless craftsmanship.
2. Using Only Precious Wood from Japan
We personally visit regions across Japan to carefully select and source only traceable, high-quality timber from known origins.
3. Environmentally Friendly Wood Drying
Wood drying is a crucial factor in determining the quality of timber. At our company, we combine long-term natural drying with artificial drying using biomass fuel.
This is our unique technique, designed to preserve the wood’s natural color and luster, ensuring both sustainability and superior quality.
4. It Is a ‘Sodate-mono’
The day it is completed is just the beginning of its journey. The more it is used, the richer its character becomes, evolving beautifully over time.
We call such items “Sodate-mono”—objects that grow with you, deepening in charm and value as the years pass.
