What is “Tamamoku”?
Tamamoku refers to a rare circular grain pattern that sometimes appears near the outer surface of the wood.
These unique patterns are formed when the growth rings of the tree are altered by factors such as injury or weather conditions, creating beautifully rounded, eye-catching figures in the grain.
