Keyaki (Zelkova)
Keyaki, with its red to yellow hues, has been a familiar material in Japan for centuries,
used in bowls, trays, and shrine pillars. The distinct winter and summer growth rings
create a characteristic wood grain.
Kurumi (Walnut)
Compared to "walnut," renowned as a material for Western furniture,
kurumi has a faint pinkish hue, giving it a slightly softer appearance.
Kuri (Chestnut)
Light and durable, chestnut has long been valued for cutting boards and house foundations,
especially in areas exposed to water. Its white to yellowish wood grain is perfect for a bright
dining table.
Nara (Oak)
Nara, known for its hard, substantial wood that bears acorns, is primarily used as a building material (oak wood).
Its rugged and heavy nature gives it a more masculine feel.
With its yellow to brown tones, it blends well with oak furniture,
making it suitable for a stylishly arranged dining table.
Sakura (Cherry)
Sakura, the green of its leaves and pink of its petals, is reflected in its wood grain.
It is the most popular wood type, allowing you to truly feel the wood grain, and it has the smoothest texture.
