About the Artwork
Mulberry is a very refined wood.
The charm of mulberry wood is its texture with a sense of depth and beautiful wood grain.
I formed this into an irregular shaped oval.
I finished the tray with wiped urushi to make the most of the charm of the mulberry wood texture.

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.
