Philosophy
Each ring of wood grows thicker and larger to embrace the tree itself and accumulate strength. It takes about 100 years for a tree to be large enough to be made into a plate or tray. To reduce waste, we use the precision and speed of machinery to obtain and refine wood from the mountain forest, while delicate hand sanding creates a high-quality texture. We want to use the strength of the condensed 100 years of growth in solid timber for another century and bring the charm of wood into our daily life. This way of production cherishes trees so we can hand down a rich forest to future generations.

KITO “With Tree”
We named this product series “KITO,” meaning “with Tree” in Japanese so that we can spend our daily life in touch with the essence of the wood. We believe that the feeling of comfort that only solid wood can bring is essential for us to spend a peaceful life. We are strived to create products that deliver comfort and hoping that people can be respectful and appreciative of nature.
SUI “Refined Wooden Vessels”
A collection of wooden vessels created with the "essence" of AIZAWA Wood Works, making full use of the life of the wood.
This series of gorgeous vessels brings out the charm of wood through our in-depth knowledge of wood and advanced craftsmanship.
We will produce a variety of wooden vessels, some delicately crafted, others full of wildness.

Streams nurture forests.
Origin of the brand mark
The logo is an abstraction of a landscape of water flowing from a mountain ridge.
Mountain ranges create ridges and valleys, and water flows through them, creating many streams.
The streams nurture plants, trees, and forests.
We would like to continue to provide the comfort of wood in people's daily lives by receiving lovely trees grown in the forests nurtured by the many streams.
