About us

Message from CEO

Our company was founded over 100 years ago. We have grown up in a rapidly changing time for both our company's history and the timber industry growth. We would like to thank our clients for enabling our company's longevity.

Contemporary society is, day by day and minute by minute, entering an age of technical revolution and undergoing changes that increasingly decrease the size of the globe. It is an age such as this that makes it imperative for buyers and sellers to carve out win-win relationships with the ultimate aim of building enterprises based upon recognition of their mutual existential value.

Also we'd like to expand our view globally and we aim to make progress in the world timber industry. At the same time it is our pleasure and responsibility to respect the environment. Even while contributing to the global timber industry, we will not forget our Japanese identity, delivering high quality products and useful information to our clients.

As we enter our second century of business, we strive to contribute positively to the world environmentally and continue to develop the timber industry with our clients.
