Japanese burned wood: Yakisugi (Shou Sugi Ban) in the traditional Japanese Style
Yakisugi (Shou Sugi Ban) is a special technique from Japan which has been in practice there since around the 18th century. When translated, it roughly means “burnt cypress plank.” The result, Japanese burned wood, is lightly charred which allows it to undergo carbonization and gain several additional properties – and to distinguish itself from many other types of wood product in its aesthetics. Here you can find Japanese burned wood made from the original Japanese cypress, treated by craftsmanship with utter precision.
