Tomekawa has been manufacturing paulownia chests for four generations since the first year of the Taisho era. To produce the best paulownia pieces, they dedicate a lot of time and effort to processing the wood. After cutting natural paulownia wood logs, slowly dry them for about a year and soak in water for leaching. Then they are exposed to the sun and rain to repeat the process of drying and wetting for another one to two years.
