About Our Timber

We mainly use popular timber such as white oak, walnut, or black cherry for our pieces but of course we can also use other timber like chestnut, zelkova, cedar, and so on, if you have a preference. As family furniture is something that will be a part of your home for a long time, please donʼt hesitate to ask us about the characteristics of the wood and how it changes over the years.

From Veterans to Young Staff

Okawa City in Fukuoka has a history of woodworking going back about 480 years, and is said to be Japan's largest furniture-making city. Special craftsmen with delicate handicrafts and traditional tools have passed down traditional manufacturing methods which results in furniture which supports life. We are woodworking professionals of various genres gathered in this town, and for about 70 years we have been engaged in the manufacture of furniture. Even when the modern lifestyle changes, the attractiveness of wooden furniture that enriches our lives will not change. As the inheritors of the skills and feeling for wood, all our staff, from the veterans to the young ones, have come together to work on new things.
