Kamiyori
It is ancient wood formed when the original Tamo (Tamo) trees were buried underground, in riverbeds, or under volcanic ash due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, and then left there for hundreds to thousands of years, or even longer.
Due to the absence of oxygen, the wood did not fully decay but entered a state of partial carbonization, giving it a unique color and making it extremely rare.
Symbolic Meaning:
Warding off evil spirits, protecting the home, and promoting longevity
(Due to its calm, understated aura and powerful natural energy, it is often crafted in Japan into high-quality Buddhist prayer beads, amulets, tea sets, or high-end artisanal items)

The greatest appeal of Jindai wood lies in the fact that no two pieces of wood have exactly the same color.
Origin: Common sources include Hokkaido, the Tohoku region, areas of volcanic activity, and sites excavated during river improvement projects.
Jindai wood is mostly discovered by chance during road construction, river engineering, or land development projects. It is not a material that is cultivated artificially or available on a consistent basis.The depth of its color depends on: the duration of burial; minerals in the soil layers; volcanic ash composition; and the groundwater environment.
