If it’s not Japanese cypress, it’s not real shou sugi ban
Choosing the perfect Japanese burnt wood siding can feel overwhelming.
“How do I know I’m getting the best shou sugi ban siding?”
William Beleck
President – Nakamoto Forestry, North America
That’s a question I hear often from homeowners considering Shou Sugi Ban siding, and I want to set the record straight.
Unlike other suppliers, we don’t just sell burnt wood siding – we provide authentic Japanese cypress, sourced directly from our forests in Hiroshima, Japan.
If it’s not cypress from Japan, it’s not authentic. Shou Sugi Ban isn’t made in the USA, nor is it crafted from modified pine or larch. True authenticity matters because your home is more than just a structure – it’s something you cherish.
To ensure you get the best quality siding, I personally oversee every step of the process – from seedling to siding. I regularly visit our forests in Japan to inspect the entire operation, ensuring every log is handpicked, milled, and charred to precise specifications.
This attention to detail guarantees that your siding is durable, elegant, and ready for seamless installation, creating the Japanese tradition your home deserves.
Don’t settle for imitation siding that falls short in quality and authenticity. Choose the real thing, and let Nakamoto Forestry help you elevate your home with the timeless beauty of true Shou Sugi Ban.
“I think it was such a fantastic experience with Nakamoto because we reached out, we had email dialogue and phone calls with the sales team and really got to talk through our questions.”
Kate Smith, homeowner

Authentic, Sustainable, and Built to Last
Authenticity
Nakamoto Forestry is a family-owned operation that has managed sugi (Japanese cypress) forests in Japan for generations. Their products are crafted using time-honored techniques and are sourced directly from their forests in Hiroshima and Tokushima, ensuring the highest level of authenticity in shou sugi ban siding
Direct-to-Consumer Model
Breaking industry norms, Nakamoto Forestry sells directly to homeowners and contractors, cutting out middlemen. This ensures price transparency, faster lead times, and consistent quality control to deliver an unmatched experience.
Customizable Options
You can choose from various wood grades, pre-finishes, and edge profiles to match their specific design needs. This flexibility ensures the siding complements any architectural style.
We work with you through every step of the process to make sure your home is exactly what you want.
Sustainability
Our forests are managed eco-consciously and are PEFC certified. The wood is sustainably harvested, and the production process captures more carbon than it emits. This makes our siding an environmentally friendly choice

to be burden to them as far as upkeep and maintenance.”

Don’t Buy Imitation Sugi
Remember, if it’s not SUGI – Japanese Cypress, then it’s not authentic Yakisugi
