Hello everyone, this is Takamatsu from the Comomg staff.
The item we made as a new product last year,
"Natural Donguri," is back in limited quantities!
This time we'd like to introduce "Natural Donguri," a special version of Comomg's popular "Donguri Korokoro" made from 7 kinds of wood.
"Natural Donguri," now open for reservations, is made with more kinds of wood than last year, and with a different selection 🌳
The woods we use will keep changing from year to year, so some of these acorns may be 2021-only and never available again 🤭
Since the number we make differs by type of wood,
if you absolutely want one, we recommend reserving early!
One of the highlights of this product!!
Let us introduce the 7 kinds of wood ♪
Teak
Teak, with its stylish tiger-like pattern.
A smooth-textured wood that is brown with a hint of green.
Mizuki (dogwood)
Mizuki, with its beautiful glossy hat.
A fine-grained wood with a whitish surface and a faint green tint.
Walnut
Walnut, also used for "Donguri no Saka."
A dark brown wood with a luxurious feel.
It gives off a sweet scent when it's worked.
Purpleheart
One of the harder woods among the 7, it becomes smooth and shiny when polished.
A wood with a vivid purple color that is rare among woods.
Bubinga
Unlike the impression its name gives, it is brown with a touch of
pale pink, giving it a lovely color.
Shina (linden)
The lightest wood of the 7.
Its soft texture lets you feel the warmth of wood.
Keyaki (zelkova)
Keyaki, a perfect fit for Japanese-style homes.
It's sure to look great even placed on tatami mats!
A wood with a rich brown color and a distinct grain.
Each has its own character, and they roll in different ways depending on the weight and size of the wood.
It's a difficult time because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but
seeing them in person at the Comomg Shop & Café lets you enjoy the differences even more,
so if you're in the area, please feel free to come and try them out ♪
After enjoying them as decorations,
put them on a slope and let the acorns move ♪
The Natural Donguri will race each other down the slope with a clickety-clack.
No "Donguri no Saka"? No problem!
You can use any flat board you have at home instead 😊
Buying a flat board at a home improvement store
and making your own slope could also be a fun summer vacation craft project ♪
