In 2022, we had the unique opportunity to visit a master swordsmith in Kyotango, Kyoto, Japan where our Gendai yakisugi had been used to clad his workshop. Each sword is custom-made by hand, and takes nearly a year to finish a single blade. An incredible experience! 🔥

Watch as a sugi log from our Tokushima timberland becomes a board of yakisugi. Each step that a board goes through is meticulous and exact. This conscientious grading process during milling and production ensures only top grade yakisugi.

We recently updated our North American office, installing Suyaki® interior with a black polyurethane coating. This non-toxic option is perfect for interiors as it protects the wood from dirt and abrasions, and is easy to touch up if needed

Suyaki® (素焼) is our name for unbrushed yakisugi. The term means ‘pure char’, referring to the dramatic burning process and unbrushed nature of the surface.
