<Features>
Japanese horse chestnut is known as silk heather, and is a tree species with beautiful fine grains. Scattered pore wood with indistinct annual rings. The color is yellowish white to pale yellowish brown. The fine grain of the wood has a silk-like luster when polished, and the shrinkage is also known as ``crepe-like wood grain'' or ``ripple mark,'' and it is highly prized. Although it has low durability, it is a useful material that has excellent workability and can produce large diameter trees. Wood with curly heather, wave heather, mottled heather, etc. is treated as precious wood.
<Producing area>
It grows wild in Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. It is especially common in the Tohoku region and southern Hokkaido. It is also distributed in China.
<Color tone>
The boundaries of the sapwood are indistinct, and the whole plant is pale red-yellow-white to pale yellow-brown in color. The surface of the wood has a silky luster. Significant ripple marks may appear on the grain surface.
