Boxwood (Zuge, Boxwood, Yellow Willow, Boxwood) [Buxaceae family, Buxus genus]
A famous wood that has been used since ancient times for combs, shogi pieces, and seals.
In addition to such transience, the standing posture is also lovely, with the oval, upward-facing leaves being charming. At first glance, the boxwood gives a weak impression, but... as timber, it has special qualities.
The characteristics are indeed in stark contrast, and when enumerated, they are intricate, firm, have a faint fragrance, and a refreshing luster. Suitable as a precious wood.
It is a majestic tree with all the right features.
The average specific gravity after drying is said to be around 0.75 to 0.8, but when you actually touch it, it feels much denser than the numbers suggest. It's hard.
It is not as hard as a stone, but has a slightly elastic and supple hardness, and furthermore, there is an extremely small dimensional error during processing.
It has been considered the best material for making precision objects such as stakes, combs, and shogi pieces.
The original beautiful wood grain slowly absorbs the moisture and oil from your fingers, presenting an elegant amber color that reflects the owner's hand habits, which is the charm of boxwood.
