Commemorative boards

Commemorative boards (“Toba” in Japanese) are made from 100% rift / semi rift lumber. Quality demands are very high for these products. They must be:

• knotless
• free of faults
• without discoloration
• straight-grained
• finely textured

in short: made from the best the fir has to offer.

The boards are manufactured in three quality grades: A, B and C.

 

Usage:
Commemorative boards play an important role in Japanese Buddhism. Comparable to flower arrangements, the boards will be painted by monks and then put on graves once a year to commemorate the deceased.
