INTRODUCTION
Bringing the miraculous vessels of the divine mountain to your daily life.
Light, warm, and fitting comfortably in your hand. SHIZQ's wooden products are unique vessels born from the forests of Kamiyama, Tokushima.
The grain and color, no two of which are alike. The soft touch unique to cedar. In particular, the red and white two-tone color of the Tsuru series is a unique design that cannot be found anywhere else.
The red "heartwood" in the center and the white "sapwood" on the outside, which are only found in cedar. To bring out this natural red and white two-tone color, SHIZQ employs an unconventional method of cutting the wood by taking the cedar's growth rings horizontally.
This technique allows us to use the growth rings of cedar trees that have lived for over 80 years as a design, without any coloring. From this, a unique and beautiful pattern is born.
SHIZQ creates wooden vessels that add color to your daily dining table while making the most of the individuality of Kamiyama cedar.
Perfect for your own home or as a gift for someone special. Please take your time to browse SHIZQ's wooden products.

WHY SHIZQ
The Reasons Why SHIZQ's Tableware
Is Chosen for Everyday Life
Wooden tableware may seem a little special. However, SHIZQ's tableware has received many joyful comments from those who have given, received, and held it.
Surprisingly Lightweight, and Even Has Insulating Properties
Everyone will be amazed when they first hold it, due to the unique lightness of cedar. The secret to its lightness lies in the porous cedar fibers, which act like a natural thermos. It has high heat retention, resists condensation, and is an incredibly excellent piece of tableware.
Fits Comfortably in Any Hand
Unlike ceramics or glass, cedar offers a soft and warm texture. Every time you pick it up, you can feel the warmth of nature. The universal design, which fits comfortably in any hand, is another appeal of SHIZQ.
Each Piece Has a Unique Expression
The growth rings, color, and grain patterns vary for each item. The individuality created by nature cannot be expressed by human design; it is the very essence of "natural beauty." These are exquisite pieces that allow you to enjoy their unique character.
No worries about everyday use

Beyond the beauty lay the forest's restoration.
Kamiyama Town, Tokushima Prefecture.
For 40 years, the overplanted cedar trees have grown large, blocking sunlight from the forest. This dark forest is called a "green desert," and its water sources are starting to dry up.
To "protect the forest that creates water," we decided to cut down trees. But not just to cut them down. We return their life to human lives, as the most beautiful vessels.
When you use this vessel, a ray of light will shine into the forests of Kamiyama.
