Japanese Kuri (Castanea crenata), also known as Japanese Chestnut, is a highly regarded hardwood native to Japan and parts of East Asia. Known for its warm, golden-brown hues and straight, even grain, this versatile wood is prized for its durability, workability, and natural resistance to decay. With a fine texture and subtle figuring, Japanese Kuri offers a refined yet rustic aesthetic, making it a favourite among woodworkers and artisans.

This exceptional hardwood is widely used in fine furniture making, cabinetry, and architectural panelling, where its natural warmth enhances both traditional and contemporary designs. Its stability and ease of finishing also make it a popular choice for flooring, decorative veneers, and handcrafted items such as turned bowls and bespoke joinery. Additionally, Japanese Kuri is valued in musical instrument construction, particularly for soundboards, due to its tonal qualities.
