Nakamoto Forestry

The world's largest producer of yakisugi: Japanese cedar façades protected by charring.

Nakamoto Forestry

Description

Japanese forestry and timber group founded in 1959, the world's largest producer of authentic yakisugi: Japanese cedar (sugi) wood surface-charred, also known as shou sugi ban. The Nakamoto family has managed sugi and hinoki forests in Hiroshima since the 1920s and produces over one million square metres annually across its four plants in Hiroshima and Tokushima. Charring protects the façade naturally and extends its service life without chemical treatments. It distributes across North America and Europe from its own warehouses.

Why we chose it

Because it's the industrial guardian of yakisugi: façades protected with fire, not chemicals, since 1959.
