This creates a moderate sheen, allowing you to enjoy the natural texture and aroma of the wood. ・The surface is cut repeatedly while checking to ensure there are no irregularities. ・The finish uses Kinu Oil. The main ingredient is derived from rice, is tasteless and odorless, and is gentle on the skin. ・By alternating the sanding direction vertically and horizontally, the sanding marks are made less noticeable. ★ Yakusugi (Yakushima Cedar) This refers to Japanese cedar that grows naturally in the mountainous regions of Yakushima at altitudes of 500 meters or higher, with trees aged 1000 years or more. Due to its slow growth rate, the wood grain is very dense and rich in resin. This makes it resistant to insects, rot, and durable. After being designated a World Heritage Site in 1993, Yakusugi was strictly protected, and logging of Yakusugi ended in 2001.
