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.
Yutaka Amano
I am enchanted and guided by the distinctive characteristics of many precious woods including keyaki (Japanese zelkova), and so my monozukuri (art of craftsmanship) is all about wood. My lines flowing in harmony with the beauty of wood grains created by nature; my aim is to capture these two elements and with them give life to my works.
