The cherry trees used for Akita cherry bark work are mainly wild cherry trees from the Tohoku region, which are known for their durability and beauty. The cherry bark is carefully peeled off from the trunk and left to dry in the shade for a year or two to remove the moisture. Yatsuyanagi is committed to preserving sustainable nature and promoting the coexistence and co-prosperity of nature and traditional crafts. They are also actively involved in planting wild cherry trees on fallow land.

Yatsuyanagi has been engaged in the manufacture and sale of wild cherry bark work for generations since its establishment in 1876 in Kakunodate, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, a place known for its rich nature. Each product is crafted with high technology that has been passed down from generation to generation, ensuring that they are not only beautiful but also practical and easy to use.
