Beautiful trees that brighten the Christmas season. Among them, we would like to introduce this music box tree, crafted from carved wood. What sets it apart from other trees is that when you spin it, it plays a gentle music box melody. This is not just a visual delight, but an interior item that allows you to enjoy sound as well.

As it slowly turns, the heartwarming melodies of Christmas resonate from this tree, made from wood sourced from Japan's forests, preserving its texture and warmth.

A Tree that Captures the Essence of Japan's Forests

The music box tree is made from various woods such as oak, walnut, and horse chestnut sourced from Hida. The trunk and leaves are crafted using traditional techniques like "Daiiretsugi" and "Antsumi," with each leaf carefully finished with plant-based oils. Over the years, the tree develops a beautiful patina, enhancing its charm as it becomes a cherished part of your family's history.

The music box is located in the pot at the base of the trunk. By holding the pot and spinning the base of the trunk, the delightful tune "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" plays. Additionally, decorations for the tree are included in the set, allowing you to adorn it with pine cones and wooden ornaments to create a stunning display.

This makes a wonderful early gift for families with small children or a thoughtful present from parents. Starting next year, this music box tree will surely add visual and auditory joy to the family's Christmas celebrations for years to come. Furthermore, the compact size of this Petit music box makes it a great recommendation for those who have given up on enjoying a Christmas tree in smaller spaces like apartments.

Commitment to Natural Materials

Oak Village, the creator of the music box tree, operates under the concept that "a tree grown over 100 years can be used for 100 years." They create products that live as long as the time it took for the trees to grow, promoting a sustainable circular society using wood as a renewable resource. Since its establishment in 1974 in Takayama, Hida, the brand has consistently proposed the realization of a sustainable society.

With nearly 70% of Japan covered in forests, Oak Village is committed to effectively utilizing domestic timber sourced from artificial and secondary forests. They use only genuine "solid wood" in their products. Once a forest has been disturbed, it loses its ecosystem, and without proper care, it can become increasingly degraded. Thinning and selectively cutting trees are essential for maintaining the health of our forests.

Aiming for a Circular Society

From bowls to buildings, their wide range of wooden products is crafted using traditional joinery techniques without nails, selecting the right wood for each application. Just as every person has unique characteristics, so does each piece of wood. To highlight and enhance this individuality, they use natural oils and lacquer instead of synthetic paints, with artisans meticulously finishing each piece. The creations born from this philosophy aim to be cherished for a long time.

Oak Village has also established the NPO "Donguri no Kai" based on the idea of "If we take one tree from the mountain, we should return one." They promote the motto "One acorn for each child," inviting public participation in activities such as growing acorns at home and planting them in the mountains, as well as thinning secondary forests and clearing underbrush across Japan.

Oak Village, which values "living with the forest," produces items that encourage us to reflect on the significance of coexisting with nature.
