Nakamoto Forestry is proud to announce that our Gendai® yakisugi “shou sugi ban” siding has been honored with three prestigious product innovation awards in 2024, solidifying its position as a groundbreaking architectural material that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge sustainable design:
These awards recognize our cutting-edge approach to sustainable building materials, highlighting our Gendai siding’s exceptional craftsmanship, performance, and environmental benefits.
Gendai combines traditional Japanese charred wood with modern architectural aesthetics, offering architects and builders a practical, fire-resistant, and naturally beautiful exterior solution. The awards validate our commitment to pushing the boundaries of sustainable design and construction materials.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the judging panels and look forward to another year of continuing our mission of delivering high-quality, environmentally responsible building products. Stay tuned for more from Nakamoto Forestry in 2025 as we continue to bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
“Beautiful Product. I appreciate the sustainable shou sugi ban approach to durability, eliminating harmful chemical preservatives, as well as the provision of an EPD about the product’s life-cycle environmental impacts. Incredible durability (reportedly up to 80 years) with little maintenance.”
