Abstract
Kabazaiku is a traditional Samurai handicraft from Akita Prefecture, dating back to the Edo period. Cherry tree bark is used to laminate trays, tea caddies, cigarette cases and other items. Today, kabazaiku souvenirs earn about one billion yen a year. Two wild species of cherry tree, P. sargentii and P. verecunda, are used for kabazaiku. Other species, such as cherry blossom or fruit cherry species, are not used. P. sargentii grows naturally in the mountains of Japan (except Kyusyu and Okinawa), the Korean peninsula, the southern valley of Usury, and southern Sakhalin (Okuda et al. 1993). P. verecunda grows naturally in the mountains of Japan (except Kyusyu and Okinawa), the Korean peninsula and in China (Okuda et al. 1993). Generally, P. sargentii grows at higher altitudes than P. verecunda.
