Sugi who forested after the war is produced much in Japan, but essential demand is stagnating. It isn't treated any more and the wasted mountains is to spread, and a forest causes landslide disaster and flood damage.Japanese forestry becomes KEBONY at the inside where I'm groping after the problem holding and the countermeasure, I met up with processing technology. This technology is the technology which can make close woody improve a coniferous tree in a broadleaf tree while maintaining the feel of a material since a woody plant. Use by the use and the environment which couldn't be used up to now becomes possible to improve the dimensional stability and the durability which were the weak point of the cedar material. I thought it was possible to add new extra value on cedar material by the thing which makes charm of the material as the height of the suspension tenability be sublimated as charm of furniture. So watched one is the durability and the feel of a material since a woody plant which are the feature of KEBONY material.Though it's possible to use it for a chair as wire rods and the wood which became higher-strength is to join between those parts gently by a rope, and the hard material, the flexible structure is made possible by processing technology. Wooden warmth can get the sense to wrap gently by this. It's the design which was also considered in thinned wood use because sawing pattern is even made of small tree again.The furniture gentle for a forest. Gentle furniture was produced for a person.
