Learn more – Defining A Higher Standard® Of Forest Management NATURAL BEAUTY Due to Japan’s unique climate and weather conditions, which include humidity, earthquake risk and even the possibility of typhoons, natural wood became the preferred material for traditional housing as it provided necessary ventilation, could withstand extreme weather conditions, and yet was very aesthetically pleasing. Wood is highly valued in Japan, and is often left uncoated in traditional home design as a means of showing respect for the material as well as leaving its natural beauty exposed for the eye to take in. Western Forest Products supplies a wide range of high-quality Hemlock, Douglas-Fir and Yellow Cedar products for Japanese traditional home components, temple construction, interior fittings and exterior applications. Renowned in the Japanese market for having the highest quality wood fiber and unparalleled visual appeal, WFP’s traditional housing products are held to the highest manufacturing standard to ensure consistent integrity and an unsurpassed beauty.
