Boxwood is a strong, dense wood, so it is also used as a material for combs, seals, shogi pieces, and carvings.

It is a very strong and hard wood, and is sometimes written as ``Yang Yang'' in kanji, and as the name suggests, it is a wood with a distinctive yellow surface. The surface of the wood is extremely fine-grained, and it has a characteristic that it feels very nice to the touch even without painting. In addition, the more you use it with your hands, the more the wood becomes glossy and flavorful, so if you use a comb frequently, it will acquire a solidity and character that is not found in new products.
