悠久の自然を感じる色合いの木
神代木とは、樹木が地震や洪水、噴火などによって埋もれた際、酸素が遮断され分解・腐敗することなく数百年から数千年を経た、半ば炭化した埋れ木である。非常に希少価値の高い銘木であり、炭化がさらに数万年進んだものは石炭となる。タモはもとの白い色味から灰褐色へと変化し、非常に渋く味わい深くなるのが特長。家具、細工小物などに使用される。
Wood in hues that evoke the timeless beauty of nature
Buried wood, also known as Jindai wood, is wood that has been buried by earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, or other events. With oxygen cut off, it remains undecomposed and unrotted for hundreds or thousands of years, becoming partially carbonized. It is an extremely rare and valuable timber; when carbonization continues for tens of thousands more years, it becomes coal. Ash wood changes from its original pale color to a grayish brown, developing a rich, distinctive character. It is used for furniture and small decorative items.
