Beautiful traditional Japanese roofing materials. It is a method of roofing using split boards of cedar and cypress, offering a high degree of flexibility in material choice.
Kakibuki is a traditional Japanese roofing technique that uses materials such as cedar and sawara. It allows for elegant curves and a sense of heaviness in the eaves, and while it is primarily seen in important cultural properties today, its popularity in Nordic-style architecture has led to its increasing use in new architectural designs. When using the same specifications as regular kakibuki, the raw material costs are generally high. However, it can be adapted to fit your budget, so consulting during the design phase will help ensure a smooth process. 【Kakibuki Features】 - Made with split boards of sawara and cedar, offering high material flexibility.
