In ancient Japan, kitchens were designed to be functional and efficient, with a focus on traditional cooking techniques. They typically featured a central hearth for cooking, as well as storage areas for food and utensils. Adding a live-edge wood countertop to an ancient Japanese kitchen would bring a touch of natural beauty and warmth to the space. The wood's organic texture and warm tones would create a serene and inviting atmosphere, reflecting the simplicity and elegance of Japanese cuisine.
