Collection: Elm wood

The species that is mainly used as wood is called Japanese elm, also known as elm wood. In addition to furniture, it is widely used for tableware, musical instruments, and more. Elms grow over a wide area in the Northern Hemisphere, growing in cold, fertile soil in Hokkaido, Japan, China, Sakhalin, Siberia, and other areas. It is highly valued for its decorative properties due to its interesting grain, and is sometimes used as a surface decorative material in place of zelkova. It is also characterized by its resistance to rot, and its somewhat heavy, hard, and tough nature, making it less likely to crack. Its yellow-white to light brown color and rough texture give it a moist, gentle, and soft impression.
