The ceiling, floor, and tables are made from local Toyama cedar called “Himi Satoyama Sugi" produced in the woodlands of Himi, located in western Toyama. It's resilient, flexible, and prevents insect damage. People have long-cherished the cedar as a material for shipbuilding, which supports the local logistics and fishing industry.
