As the main material, NITTA uses precious imported hardwood (rosewood, ebony, Bombay blackwood, or Burmese rosewood), and employs traditional techniques to create modern works by applying thin-line inlay with Japanese boxwood. He produces many different types of work ranging in size from side boards to tea scoops. In 2007 or so, NITTA started incorporating his own ideas into his pieces.

Sideboard made of red sandalwood that I obtained in 1984. I designed this with the image of the red sandalwood tree growing in a monsoon forest.
The doors and the countertop have very rare wood grain for red sandalwood.
Finished with wiped urushi.
