Kuri (Japanese Chestnut) is a broadleaf hardwood that grows throughout Japan, from Hokkaido to Kyushu.

Renowned for its exceptional durability and water resistance, chestnut wood has been cherished since the Jomon period—used for both architecture and furniture. Its versatility is further highlighted by its edible nuts, making it a beloved and time-honored material.

Even today, chestnut remains a highly sought-after wood. As a live-edge tabletop, it offers a warm, natural tone and a soft, tactile surface that retains the gentle character of the tree itself—bringing both elegance and comfort to any interior.
