詳細情報Information
吉野桧は、奈良県南部の吉野林業地域（主に川上村、東吉野村、黒滝村）が産地の日本を代表する良質な木材。独自の育林技術（密植・多間伐・長伐期施業）により、節が少なく、綺麗に整った木目、清潔感と高級感を漂わせる白地に淡いピンク色が絶妙に映えるのが特徴。また、独特の香りがあるヒノキの成分には抗菌作用やリラックス効果がある。特に、節のない柾目材は、木目が真っ直ぐ美しく、高級感を感じさせる。
Yoshino hinoki is Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) which is grown in Yoshino, and it is one of the most prestigious woods of Japan. Yoshino is in the central area of Nara Prefecture (mainly in Kawakami Village, Higashi-yoshino Village, and Kurotaki Village). The unique technique for growing the wood is characterized by dense planting, frequent thinning, and long felling period. The wood gives a sense of immaculateness and luxury with few knots and an extremely fine grain. Its color is a delicate mix of white and pink with a subtle color difference between heartwood and softwood. It also has a distinctive aroma from its extractive, hinokitiol, which has antibacterial and relaxation effect.
Especially quarter sawn knotless boards show a very fine straight grain pattern and an extraordinary beauty.
