Techniques Used
Wood turning
In wood turning (hikimono), a piece of wood is rotated on a lathe and shaped with various cutting tools. Wood turning is suited to the creation of round trays, containers, and bowls. Different blades and cutting angles can be used to produce a wide range of forms. Balanced, symmetrical forms are made by spinning the lathe at a constant speed.
Bentwood work
Japanese bentwood work (magemono) is predominantly produced using one of two methods. In the first method, thin strips of wood are softened with steam and bent into cylindrical forms. In the second method, notches are sawed into the back side of wood strips, and the strips are bent into polygonal forms.
Wood inlay
Wood inlay (moku zōgan) is a decorative technique in which wood, metal, or shell is inserted into cavities cut into a wooden substrate to produce contrasting designs.
