Beautiful set of Hokkaido woods are used:
- Hokkaido Ash: This refers to ash wood (Fraxinus mandshurica) specifically sourced from Hokkaido, Japan. Ash is known for its strength, flexibility, and attractive grain pattern. Hokkaido ash is likely prized for its quality due to the region's climate and growing conditions.

- Kamishiro Ash: This is a special type of ash wood that has been buried in volcanic ash or submerged in water for centuries or millennia. This process gives it a unique grayish or dark brown color and enhances its durability. Kamishiro ash is rare and highly prized
- Maple: There are many types of maple, but Hard Maple (Acer saccharum) is common for furniture. It's known for its light color, fine grain, and strength.
- Walnut: This typically refers to Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), prized for its rich, dark brown color, beautiful grain patterns, and durability.
- Tagayasan: This is the wood of the Cassia siamea tree, a tropical hardwood native to Southeast Asia. It's known for its beautiful dark brown color, often with streaks of black, and its durability.
