Wiped lacquer finish
Wiped lacquer (fuki urushi) is a wood-finishing technique consisting of a thin coat of lacquer. The lacquer is applied with a spatula or brush, rubbed in with a cotton cloth, and then wiped away using washi paper or clean fabric. Repeating the process numerous times produces a finish that brings out the wood’s grain and texture.
Hitoshi Sugo
My specialty is woodwork. I try to fuse and harmonize the natural beauty of wood with forming techniques such as wood joinery and turning, and decorating techniques such as inlay and wiped urushi.
