Kuriki, or Japanese Chestnut, is a character-rich hardwood valued for its warm tones, visible grain, and natural durability. With hues ranging from soft honey to light brown, it carries a distinctly organic charm that suits both rustic and modern interiors. Kuriki slabs often display coarse, open grain patterns with subtle waves and occasional knots, adding depth and authenticity to each piece. Naturally resistant to decay and easy to work with, it’s a popular choice for dining tables, cabinetry, and timeless statement furniture.
