Collection: Mizumezakura Mizumezakura Azusa

Mizumezakura is called Mizumezakura because its bark resembles that of cherry blossoms, but it is a deciduous tall tree of the birch family that is unrelated to cherry blossoms. It is also called Azusa because it was used to make Azusa bows. It is characterized by a grain pattern reminiscent of a tiger pattern called tiger grain. Mizumezakura trees are scattered deep in the mountains and are used for furniture. They are 200 to 300 years old and are difficult to obtain, and because they are very hard, they require skilled techniques to process. However, due to their beautiful grain, resistance to warping, and excellent properties such as resilience, they are called the chief of a hundred trees and are highly valued as the finest furniture material.
