Japan's forest area is approximately 25 million hectares, making up 67% of the country's land area. Among developed nations, Japan ranks second in forest coverage after Finland, making it one of the most forested countries in the world. This is attributed to ample precipitation and the nation’s mountainous terrain. Forests, which generate oxygen, are also essential for all life.

In Japan's lush green environment, using trees that are abundant around us will promote forest circulation while creating a more comfortable living environment for people to live in. We believe that crafting attractive products from wood plays a vital role in supporting environmental sustainability.
