This is the first video of Kouyamaki sawmilling.
When you insert the blade, a wonderful refreshing and sweet scent wafts through the air.
It's a shame that I can't deliver this fragrance to you who appreciate it! (*^_^*)

Straight grain that runs straight. A swaying heather pattern is formed in the root part and the part that splits into two.
It gives you an overwhelming sense of dignity.

It is characterized by its straight trunk and umbrella-like leaves, and is considered one of the world's three most beautiful trees, along with the Himalayan cedar and Araucian cedar.

Due to its water-resistant properties, it is said to have been used as a material for wooden coffins in the Yayoi and Kofun periods. After that, it was used for a variety of purposes, including ships, bathtubs, and samurai residences.
However, as the number is decreasing now, it is becoming a rare and valuable wood.

It is also prized as a sacred tree, and the Kouyamaki at Nikko Toshogu Shrine was planted by Iemitsu, the third Tokugawa shogun.
