Japanese Ginkgo is a rare and elegant hardwood harvested from one of the world’s oldest tree species — a living fossil with roots dating back over 200 million years. Known for its light golden color, soft grain, and natural resistance to insects and decay, Ginkgo embodies quiet sophistication. Traditionally planted near temples for its symbolism of longevity and resilience, Japanese Ginkgo slabs bring a sense of serenity and timelessness to modern furniture design.
