Ash is called Tamo in Japan, and ash is a tree characterized by its beautiful and clear grain, which is often referred to as the “Queen of the Trees.” It is not a masculine, ferocious wood, but a feminine, gentle, beautiful wood texture. The color of the core is grayish brown or pale yellowish brown, and the sapwood is pale yellowish white, which deepens with age. European ash is also called the fraxinus excelsoir, and the ash tree often appears in Norse mythology, and the world tree Yggdrasil is said to be an ash tree. It is said that the weapon wielded by the chief god Odin was also made of ash, and in mythology it is considered a sacred tree and is so sacred and mysterious that it is revered. The premium line of white ash is made by selecting only the light yellow-white sapwood, and the beautiful and gentle expression has a clear grain that expresses strong will and individuality.
