Techniques Used
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.
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.
