Keep it long, treasure it long.

A mirror that can also be an interior

There are several tree species that are familiar with interiors and tableware, such as keyaki and cherry blossoms, but the wooden product made by Kimura Mokuhin Seisakusho, Aomori Prefecture, is a slightly unusual apple tree. It is a wood product that can be produced only in Aomori, where apples are produced, after it has been used up and is normally discarded.

All processes are done by our hands

Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, where Kimura Mokuhin Seisakusho is located, is Japan's number one apple producer.
It is an apple tree that brings us delicious grace every year, but when it finished its role, it was disposed of, except for its main use as firewood. Usually, apple trees are grown horizontally rather than vertically so that they are easy to harvest. As a result, many of them are low and meandering, so it is not possible to use long materials that can be used as building materials, and there are many bumps that make machining difficult. Therefore, it was rarely reused for anything other than firewood.

At Kimura Wood Products Co., Ltd. (Kimura Moku Hinsei Sakusho), we use the apple tree as a local resource to learn about the unique texture of the apple tree and to enjoy it.・It took time and effort to dry the wood, many times longer than ordinary wood, and the craftsmen with highly skilled technology started manufacturing with apple trees.

Mirror APPLE TREE is a mirror made of apple trees. On the other side of the mirror, a beautiful pattern with an apple tree motif is made by combining thin materials. The stand type comes with a stand made of the same material, and the angle of the recess for inserting the mirror is different on the front and back, so you can change the angle according to the place you want to place it and the place you want to see. For the wall mount type, hang the leather handle on the wall hook, etc. You can place it on the wall so you can store it inside out, and you can turn it over when you're not using it. Both can be used as a tray to store watches, accessories and cosmetics by placing the mirror side down, and various uses have been proposed in the simple making. It's not too big and not too small, and it's a perfect size for daily makeup and hair styling, so it's great for gifts such as moving celebrations and birthdays.

With apples

Kimura Wood Products Co., Ltd. was established in 1974 in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture. The current president, the great-grandfather, runs a wood processing plant, and the great-grandfather developed a "ladder ladder," a ladder that is a ladder for apple farmers. It has a structure that makes use of the technology used to make joinery in the open space of Aomori, and at that time, it was said that many items were delivered to Shinshu and Hokkaido. Currently, it is not manufactured at Kimura Mokuhin Seisakusho, but from that time on, manufacturing related to apples began.

As we continue to make wooden products in line with the times such as fittings, furniture, store fixtures, we started toy playground equipment 10 years ago and our own brand "CHITOSE" 5 years ago. We want to utilize not only the local cherry trees and Aomori Hiba, but also local trees as logging resources, sawing, and drying from the farm, and we continue to make time-consuming products using apple trees.
