The March 19, 2011 edition of the Japan Forest Products Journal newspaper ran a story about one of our kendo-jo flooring which used 100% native Japanese woods.
In the story, Mr. Kitada, the most senior manager for the kendo-jo, stated:
“Compared to the usual urethane finished flooring, there is less heat from friction between the bottom of the foot and the floor. There is less strain on one’s feet when the moving foot comes to a stop. Since we practice barefoot, the temperature is another issue we notice. This flooring has more warmth than a urethane coated floor.”
