Launch of 'tree timeless': A Service to Create Keepsakes from Precious Trees

On June 1, 2026, Tsubaki Lab LLC, based in Gifu City, launched 'tree timeless,' a new service that preserves felled precious trees as keepsakes. The service aims to connect family memories to the future by crafting items such as ballpoint pens, clocks, and nameplates from trees that must be cut down due to home reconstruction or land development. Leveraging its experience in utilizing underutilized wood, the company handles everything from lumbering and drying to processing in-house. Prices start at 110,000 yen for the standard plan and 242,000 yen for the custom plan, with proposals tailored to the condition of each tree.
