<Anecdote>
As a symbol of eternal youth and longevity, it is prized as a precious tree that brings good luck and is said to be ``proof of misfortune.''
<Producing area>
A natural cedar that grows wild in the mountains of Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture, at an altitude of over 500m.
<Features>
Among Yakushima's cedar trees, those that are over 1000 years old are called "Yakusugi".
The wood grain is clear and the bamboo grain pattern of the upper heather appears, giving it a special beauty, and it is characterized by not distorting even with complicated wood grains. The wood is hard and contains about 6 times more resin than normal wood, so it has antiseptic, antibacterial, and insect repellent effects, and it retains a unique scent even after processing. Currently, logging is prohibited, so only wood from before the ban and fallen trees (thinned wood) are available, making it an extremely rare and high-quality wood.
<Color tone>
The heartwood is reddish brown.
