About the Artwork
I used high quality zelkova wood.
The design of this vessel is two overlapping circles.
By moving the overlapping part to the side, a slight distortion occurs, creating an interesting form.
On applying the urushi lacquer for the wiped urushi finish, I tried to apply the lacquer evenly to make the vessels of the zelkova wood stand out and make the most of the characteristics of the material.

Techniques Used
Hollow work
In hollow work (kurimono), gouges and chisels are used to hand-carve hollow vessels from a block of wood. Complicated curves and rounded forms are a common feature of hollow work.
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.
