This table is made from Zelkova (Zelkova), a typical Japanese hardwood. It is a single-piece low table that makes the most of Zelkova's distinctive, strong and beautiful grain and the natural art of its gradation from golden to brown.

The tabletop features the magnificent curves of the zelkova tree's growth rings, and the spiral grain in the center is a precious part of the wood called "moku," which adds to its rarity as a piece of wood. The natural shapes, such as knots and bark marks, are also preserved, giving the piece a truly unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.

The surface is coated with a highly transparent urethane coating, which protects the beautiful grain of the zelkova while bringing out its natural brilliance to the fullest. The amber luster that deepens with age is a unique charm of natural wood, which becomes more refined the more it is used.

The four cylindrical legs are made of the same zelkova wood as the tabletop, giving the table a stable structure while achieving elegant proportions that are not too heavy. This is a masterpiece that brings together the best of traditional Japanese woodworking techniques, and you can feel the warmth of the artisan's handiwork.
