{"product_id":"keyaki-ichimaita-002","title":"KEYAKI (Japanese Zelkova)｜ubu","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeyaki (zelkova) has long been the most trusted wood for building homes. It has been repeatedly chosen for places meant for long-term human use, such as pillars and beams in shrines and temples, and the main support pillars in houses. It is hard, tenacious, and does not easily warp. Its strength remains unchanged even when planed into boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts grain is distinct, with growth rings resembling continuous waves that change their expression depending on how the light hits them. Some pieces of wood may even exhibit a swirling grain known as \"tamamoku.\" It is a grand and unambiguous wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, keyaki transforms with use. The wood's surface slowly takes on a reddish hue, developing a luster in areas frequently touched by hand, eventually settling into an amber color. Keyaki used for 10 or 20 years becomes more beautiful than when it was new. It is one of the few woods whose value is not diminished by time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece of wood that can be chosen with the intention of being passed down, where a child who once spread out their homework might one day gather with their own family around the same table. You could then hand it down to them, saying, \"This has grown with you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ubu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64277260435825,"sku":null,"price":400000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/3835\/5825\/files\/1_2f3a8904-7c00-4517-bd8b-396ca8bb45ff.png?v=1785039552","url":"https:\/\/ubu-shop.com\/en\/products\/keyaki-ichimaita-002","provider":"ubu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
