About Tenryu Canada Corporation
Tenryu Canada has a proven track record of more than 40 years, since its founding in Vancouver in 1974, just ahead of Japan’s timber importing boom. Since around 2000, Tenryu Canada has expanded its business globally, developing new sales channels to reach markets beyond Japan, including China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
Since its inception, Tenryu Canada’s chief business has been the custom cutting of various kinds of logs for lumber, such as hemlock, balsam-fir, yellow cedar, Douglas-fir, spruce, and red cedar, featuring premium-grade materials for wooden fittings, fixtures, and materials used to build shrines and temples. We take pride in the fact that, through the experience and knowledge gained during our long history, we manufacture the highest quality wood products in British Columbia, Canada.
Through the wide network we have built over the years, Tenryu Canada deals with a broad spectrum of softwood products, ranging from clear material (virtually unknotted lumber) to construction material, as well as packaging material milled from all major coastal tree species, including SPF (spruce-pine-fir) material.
The company has also launched a tripartite trade system in which lumber is milled in an Asian country and finished products are shipped to Japan.
We export raw logs sourced from conifer and broadleaf trees in Alaska and Canada, mainly to Japan, though in recent years there has been a trend toward increasing exports of raw logs to other Asian countries. Products can now be shipped in small lots, thanks to the use of containers.
Our hardwood products, including white birch, maple, cherry, walnut, ash, oak, and more, are shipped mainly from the province of British Columbia, but also from the east coast of North America.
We are prepared to assist you through every step of your lumber purchase, including inspections, consultations regarding size and grades, shipping arrangements, and delivery procedures.
