Echizen Yosegi Wavy Line Cutting Board Streamline

This cutting board was made by Echizen Yosegi, a company that breathes new life into wood that has been woven over many years in remote mountains and various places overseas.
It is made using the end grain method, which is considered the highest quality in Europe and the United States.
End grain refers to the cut surface of wood, and is made by taking advantage of the pattern and characteristics of the tree rings.

Its features are all good.

■ Knives last longer
While most cutting boards are made with wood fibers running horizontally, end-grain cutting boards have wood fibers running vertically, which makes them gentler on knives and helps them stay sharp for longer.

■ Hygienic
The cutting board is designed to be scratch-resistant, making it difficult for bacteria to enter. You can safely use it to cut bread that you will eat as is.

■ Beautiful design
The beautiful design of the tree rings enhances the ingredients and cooking. You can also enjoy it as tableware by arranging it on the dinner table.

It is designed and carefully polished to make the wood look its best.
You can extend the life of your knife by filing away any small scratches and cleaning it with cooking oil.

Mr. Itaru Tanabe, who runs a large carpentry business in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, started making chairs and accessories during the seasons when he was not working at the construction site, at the request of his wife. As he faced wood that he had previously discarded and breathed new life into it, he became absorbed in the process, saying, "It's surprisingly interesting."
We create one-of-a-kind products by interacting with each piece, from large scraps to small pieces of wood, to bring out the natural texture of the wood. This is Echizen Yosegi - tata -.
