  • Plain/flat cut

  • Quarter sawn

We service both LCL and FCL (20' and 40') shipments. Our products are provided as kiln or air dried and in green states, either rough sawn or finished, to meet your specific needs. The two main species we work with are:

  1. Hinoki (Japanese Cypress, Chamaecyparis obtusa)

  2. Sugi (Japanese Cedar, Cryptomeria japonica)


We can also source other commercially available native species like Keyaki (Zelkova serrata) and Aka Matsu (Pinus densiflora). As Japanese lumber experts, we also have experience sourcing lesser-known specialized species for furniture, woodturning, and boat building. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you require any Japanese species of lumber.
