What is "Jindai-boku"
"Jindai-boku"
is the very precious
tree which passed through
long time more
than several thousand years
with being buried
among water and soil. It
is a boomerang with
weight at the time of mysterious
brightness.

 |
Why the wood did not rot. It is because the
wood buried in the ground by a volcanic eruption
and earthquake, did not touch on oxygen.

Splendor wood "Katsura"
"Katsura"(Cercidiphyllum
japonicum) has a straight
grain and durability.
So it is a valuable wood that is used furniture,
architecture, chessboard,
and other.
However, this must have the strength to withstand
the impact to catch the
flying, and weight
for distance as Boomerang.

Structure
In English, it is called
a "japan"
that the lacquer paint.
It is a "japan"
the surface of this boomerang.
We have adopted
a "wipe lacquer"
that is different
from the process to dry
the paint with lacquer
just for this boomerang.
In the technique
of repeating the work that
wiping with a
cloth and paint with lacquer
and "wipe
lacquer", to prevent
thick coating of
lacquer. With this technique,
we were able
to finish even more beautiful,
the precious
wood the color of the wood
are aligned and
dark wood grain.
Rectangle shape wings are
the image of "Japan"(Edges
were rounded).
The right-side end of the
wing is an unpointed
angle. Because it is thrown
in some wind
and to moderate the shock
of the catch.
