About the Artwork
Using black persimmon wood cut in the direction of the wood grain. I used the unique wood grains to express the scenery of mountains in the evening and made this covered box. I tried to create a form with a comforting touch where people can feel the warmth of wood, and finished it with wiped urushi.

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.
