——— About the Mizuma's Black Pine

三潴の黒松について

The beauty that has been passed down through the ages,
the charm of Mizuma Kuromatsu.

Kurume City is known as one of the three major tree-growing areas in Japan.

Among them, Mizuma Kuromatsu (Japanese black pine) has a history and tradition of over 100 years and is highly regarded nationwide. Its characteristics are the beauty of its tree shape and durability. Each tree is carefully cared for by craftsmen, and is finished in an ideal shape to be the centerpiece of a garden or bonsai.

One of the reasons why Mizuma Kuromatsu is so excellent is the benefit of the climate and soil unique to this region. The moderate humidity and well-drained soil support the healthy growth of the Kuromatsu black pine. In addition, we use techniques handed down from generation to generation to grow our black pine to be strong and healthy.

From Japanese tradition to the world:
The appeal of designs woven with black pine

Kuromatsu (Japanese black pine) is especially in high demand overseas, where its stately appearance is widely regarded as a symbol of Japanese gardens. It is popular for use in bonsai and gardens, and is actively incorporated into the design of modern gardens and public spaces overseas.

Its stately appearance makes it an indispensable part of Japanese gardens, but it also has the appeal of blending naturally into contemporary garden designs.
