More about the Brand Owner

丸紅木材株式会社

マルベニモクザイ

Our company was founded in 1948. While focusing on the import and sale of LVL, we found a way to survive in domestic reforestation and started a domestic timber business. We thought about the valuable use of domestic timber to achieve carbon neutrality, and launched the domestic lumber business IKONIH brand. Through the development and sale of wooden furniture, toys, and essential oil products using unused cypress wood, we are promoting tree education to deepen understanding of forests and promoting the use of wood.

Forests in Japan are currently facing various issues.

IKONIH wants to use up all the domestic lumber.

I would like to solve Japan's forest issues and protect the forest cycle.

【Forests in Japan today】

Today's forests in Japan are not adequately managed, unhealthy, trees that have reached the age of felling are left uncared for, and domestic timber is not fully utilized.

Forests that are left unchecked without planned thinning cause landslides and other disasters.

Unnecessary parts such as branches and leaves that cannot be used as building materials generated in the process of growing and felling timber are called forest residues and are currently discarded in forests, which are also factors that cause secondary damage in the event of a landslide.

[Cutting down trees is not bad]

Since the amount of CO₂ absorption is decreasing in timber that has reached the age of logging, it is important to cut down and use it as timber and plant saplings that will become a new sink.

Even if the timber is turned into wood and used as housing or wood products, CO₂ remains fixed in the wood.

The ability to absorb CO₂ is most active at the age of 10~40 years, and trees over 50~60 years old are said to be the appropriate age for logging.

Trees that have reached the felling season absorb less CO₂, so it is important to cut them down and use them as timber to plant new trees.

This will lead to decarbonization efforts to prevent global warming.

What are we doing?

We make full use of unused wood such as forest land residues left in Japan's forests,

We manufacture and sell products that can be used for a long time while continuing to fix carbon.

We also use parts that were previously discarded to make products while fixing carbon.

By devising a method that does not burn immediately and can be used for a long time, we can contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions.

By reforesting the land after logging, we will create a CO₂ sink and realize sustainable forest management.

We donate a portion of our proceeds to plant trees and improve the forest environment for future forests.

Proper felling, utilization, and planting and growing new seedlings can not only maintain healthy forests, but also contribute to measures against global warming.

The use of wood leads to the unleashing of the functions of forests.

Through IKONIH, we are improving the forest cycle in Japan and contributing to the creation of a sustainable society.

Commitment to the product

Hinoki is a tree that can only be cut down in Japan

Hinoki is a tree that grows only in Japan and Taiwan, but logging is prohibited in Taiwan due to the protection of natural forests.

Many of the cypress trees growing in Japan were planted under the post-war afforestation policy and are said to be 50~60 years old, so they are in the cutting season.

Forest land residues are often used as biomass fuel, but "It's sad that a tree that has lived for many years is burnedThis brand was born from this thought.

[Effects and benefits of cypress]

Hinoki contains a lot of phytoncides, substances that give you a sense of forest scent, which has deodorizing, antibacterial and forest bathing effects.

【Toys and Furniture】

We make toys with toys that create communication with children as the keyword.

We manufacture toys that have obtained CE, a European standard, and have passed tests in accordance with the Japanese safety standard ST.

Since it is an unpainted toy that takes advantage of the texture of the material, each one is carefully polished by hand.

Music Box Bus

No matter whether you move the car body forward or backward, "Neighbor Totoro" will flow.

After playing with it as a toy, it is popular as a remote control, key, or interior goods.

[Fragrance products]

We extract essential oil from sawdust generated when sawing cypress logs into boards.

By extracting and using oil instead of wood, we reduce loss as much as possible and use one tree without waste.

We are also working on the development of various items such as disinfectant mist derived from essential oils.

Essential Hinoki Mist

It is based on a valuable essential oil (essential oil) that can only be extracted from a single Hinoki tree, and is 100% naturally derived. It comes with a box, so it is also recommended as a gift.

*IKONIH is popular with people from overseas because it uses trees unique to Japan*

[Buyer's voice]

・ The smell of cypress was very good even before opening, and when I actually took my hand, it had a smooth and soft texture. The color of the wood is bright, so I am looking forward to seeing how it changes over time. In addition, the weight is not too heavy, but rather light, and the most attractive thing is that it is safe for small children to throw.

・ It has a nice scent of cypress, and it feels comfortable and gentle to the touch. Each one is carefully made. A care file is also enclosed, so it seems to be able to be used for a long time.

・ The surface is smooth and even babies can play with peace of mind! The scent of the wood is also satisfying!

・ It is 2 months old, but I bought it as a toy for the future. It has a nice smell of cypress and is of very high quality. I want them to play as soon as possible.
