About Isunoki (Distylium racemosum):
Isunoki, often shortened to Isu in Japanese, is a broad-leaved evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 meters tall. It primarily grows east of the Kanto region. This wood is known for:

• Its heaviness, hardness, and strength
• Resistance to shearing, bending, and compression, with a density far greater than white oak (Shirakashi) or red oak (Akagashi)

Isunoki is one of the heaviest and strongest woods among all trees native to Japan.

Part of the premium range, this bokuto is crafted with exceptional care and rigorous wood selection, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and high functionality.
