197 This Rosaceae family hardwood, including Yamazakura and Siuri Sakura, is native to northern Honshu and Hokkaido. Known for its reddish-brown heartwood and pale-yellow sapwood, it offers excellent texture, luster, and workability, making it a favored choice for high-end furniture, musical instruments, and carvings. It has excellent material quality, color tone, and workability, and is used for a wide variety of purposes, including high-quality furniture materials, fixture materials, musical instrument materials, and carving materials. Distinguished from imported Black Cherry, Hokkaido Sakura provides a refined alternative with slender dimensions and an evolving, rich character over time. Hokkaido Sakura (Cherry Blossom) This is a broadleaf tree from the family Oleaceae, with Hokkaido being the main production area in Japan. The heartwood is light grayish-brown, while the sapwood is pale yellowishwhite, with an indistinct boundary between the two, giving the wood a generally bright appearance. It is ring-porous with distinct annual rings, straight grain, rough texture, and a light, soft nature that makes it easy to work with. The surface has a glossy finish, and the wood may display various grain patterns, such as wavy and curly figure. It is widely used for interior building materials, furniture, tools, and musical instruments. Starting in 2024, Hokkaido Sen has been adopted, which features a bright color and beautiful, contrasting grain, particularly highlighted in the tabletop. Although it is a relatively soft material, it is now used for solid wood tables. Hokkaido Sen (Acanthopanax) Hokkaido Birch A broad leaf tree of the Birch family, distributed in Japan (Northern Honshu and Hokkaido). The heartwood is light reddish brown, and the sapwood is yellowish white with a clear boundary. There is little difference between earlywood and latewood in grain, and the annual rings are not particularly obvious. It is widely used for gymnasium floors because of its abrasion resistance and stability. The growth of the wood varies greatly depending on the conditions of the growing region. The ones with dark reddish heartwood are called and valued as a rare and precious material. In Hokkaido, monarch birch, with more distinct white sapwood, dominates. The contrast between the heartwood (red) and sapwood (white), which is a distinct characteristic of this material, is utilized as it is, giving it an expression that only natural materials can give. Enjoy the smooth texture upon touch that is the characteristic of the diffused-porous wood. Illegal logging has been long said to cause deforestation.
