World Heritage Yakusugi Writing Desk

Yakusugi, a designated natural monument, was prohibited from logging in 1982 and registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 1993. Since then, export from Yakushima has been significantly restricted, making it extremely difficult to obtain raw logs. Yakusugi, generally said to be around 300 years old, lives for 2,000 to 3,000 years due to the special natural environment of Yakushima, blessed with 4,000mm to 10,000mm of rainfall annually, and the characteristics of Yakusugi resin. The base of Yakushima is granite, which is low in nutrients, causing the cedar to grow slower than in other regions. This results in dense growth rings and harder wood. Consequently, approximately 6 times more resin than ordinary cedar accumulates in the resin ducts. This resin has preservative, antibacterial, and insect-repellent effects, and because the wood is hard, Yakusugi has the wonderful characteristic of remaining intact for many years.
