Each piece of woodwork is painstakingly crafted by craftsmen from Hakocho, a paulownia craft manufacturer in Asakusa, Tokyo. This is a paulownia cutting board. Wooden cutting boards are often avoided if mold grows on them, but if you treat them properly, there are benefits that outweigh that. Since paulownia dries quickly, it is resistant to mold. It has also been said since ancient times that insects do not attach to paulownia trees. In fact, it is now known that paulownia wood contains many ingredients that repel insects, such as Paulownin and Sesamin. Paulownia is a relatively soft wood, and when wet, it has a moderate amount of elasticity, making it easy to cut meat and fish. It is also gentle on knives and has the advantage of not damaging knives easily. And since paulownia is lightweight, it is easy to handle when standing it up. The food you prepare while feeling the warmth of the wood is sure to taste hearty. Size: Width 45 x Depth 29.5 x Thickness 2 (cm) Weight: 730g Material: Paulownia
