bottom towards the top part of the piece like 'a peacock with its wings spread', giving it its strong point.\u003cbr\u003e\nSince Kujaku-moku only appears at the part of the tree where it branches out, only enough wood for a few pieces can be taken from one tree.\u003cbr\u003e\nTherefore, in order to complete a set of Kujaku-moku pieces, multiple boxwood materials with similar wood coloring are
