Takayasu Kiri Kogei
Living with paulownia — a lightness in daily life.
From log selection and sourcing through milling to the final finish. With integrated handcraft, we make paulownia products that "settle into today's living."
Why We Love It
Anyone who finds "the cutting board too heavy to wash" should try this! A paulownia cutting board is so light you can lift it with one hand, and it drains water so well that black mold rarely forms. The "canisters" and "rice keepers" made from artisan-selected paulownia have excellent humidity regulation and insect resistance too — ideal for storing food. Magic wooden tools that quietly make daily chores feel lighter.
PROFILE About the Company / Workshop
About 70 years since founding. Across three generations, we have faced the character of paulownia and translated it into the tools of today.
Light, quick to dry, regulating humidity — paulownia. We propose products that come into their own in the daily kitchen, drawing on those advantages — cutting boards, canisters, trays and more.
From log sourcing through finishing, all in-house
Material selection, milling, wooden base and finishing — all completed in-house. A system that lets us take responsibility through quality.
Functionality unique to paulownia
Lightness, quick drying, humidity regulation. They translate directly into the everyday feel of kitchen tools and storage containers.
