YUKI 雪
The YUKI range builds upon the foundation of SUMI, following the principles of Migaki and Sai, with a unique and highly specialized brushing technique. Each piece is intensely brushed to reveal the intricate texture of the wood, followed by a distinctive sanding process that enhances its depth and creates a beautiful two-tone effect. This meticulous treatment results in a surface that combines refined elegance with a bold, contemporary finish. YUKI captures the timeless beauty and durability of traditional Yakisugi while offering a truly distinctive and sophisticated look for modern designs.
