About the Artwork
I made this piece with wood from a zelkova tree approximately 400 years old, using the wood turning and hollowing techniques to make the most of the beautiful woodgrain.
I shaped the piece with smooth curves to match the woodgrain pattern.
It is finished with wiped urushi lacquer, but I used sugurome urushi lacquer (a type of black lacquer) on the rim.

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.
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.
