Because of its powerful and beautiful grain, Zelkova has been used since ancient times as the finest wood for temples, shrines, teahouses, and other buildings in Japan. When polished, it takes on a dignified, golden hue, revealing a divine appearance. The extremely rare Zelkova shrinkage grain creates a dynamic and captivating appearance, reminiscent of the flow of a river, that cannot be found in other materials.

□Wood grain matching

By cutting each piece side by side, the grain of the wood connects, and with the utmost care, the grain of each piece is matched meticulously, using the aesthetic sense and technique of a skilled craftsman, to make the most of the natural beauty of the wood.

□Three-sided fastening

By joining the top, side, and front panels at a 45-degree angle, the wood grain is not interrupted, resulting in a beautiful finish, and the joints are less likely to shift over time, making it stronger and more difficult to achieve.

□ Assembly

Assembling the three-sided fastening is a delicate task that can only be accomplished by hand.

Dozens of special tools, such as hammers and hammers, are used to fasten the wood between the upper and lower boxes, making it a difficult process in which even the slightest amount of force applied can cause the wood to go out of alignment.

□Tongue processing

Insert 0.5mm wood pieces into the corners of the three-sided joint to reinforce them.

This increases the strength and creates beautiful designs that can only be achieved through handwork.

□Finishing/painting

Polishing with a plane and sandpaper brings out the grain and brings out the beauty of the wood to the fullest. By sealing the surface before oil painting, you can achieve an amazingly smooth texture that is less likely to develop ring stains.

*We do not use urethane paint or coloring as this would diminish the beauty and texture of the wood.

□Hidden hinge

There are no hinges visible on the back of the box when it is closed.

The inside of the box is lined, so the metal fittings are not visible from any angle, and the sleek design of the box and the beauty of the wood grain are not compromised.
