NAGURI ナグリ
"Naguri" is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique in which the surface of the wood is carved or hammered. This method is commonly found in the construction of traditional Japanese houses, temples, and shrines. The surface of the wood is intricately scratched by carving or hammering to create a distinctive texture. This technique has been used for furniture and building materials in various applications, and it continues to be appreciated today in contexts where its traditional beauty and durability are highly valued.
