Nakamoto Forestry is the largest producer of authentic shou sugi ban (yakisugi) in the world and has now expanded distribution to North America with inventory in Portland, Oregon.

Nakamoto Forestry is owned by the Nakamoto family and headquartered in Hiroshima prefecture on the west side of Japan. Nakamoto Forestry has several thousand acres of managed forest in Hiroshima adjacent to a national park and not far from the Miyajima Shrine.  They have owned and managed large tracts of forest for decades, using the logs their harvest teams bring in to mill the most consistent Shou Sugi Ban (Yakisugi) available anywhere. We have four main mills in Hiroshima and Tokushima prefectures that complete the entire manufacturing process.

We would like the international community to appreciate that Japan has always had a large domestic forestry industry, one that has ingrained respect for the forest fiber with which we shelter ourselves.
