MIGAKI 磨き
MIGAKI is a refined version of SUMI, achieved by lightly brushing the charred surface to expose the softer layers of the wood while retaining the essence of the Yakisugi finish. This process reveals a stunning contrast between the charred portions and the natural wood grain, creating a beautiful, textured appearance. The name "Migaki" reflects the polishing and brushing technique applied after the charring process, enhancing its subtle beauty and making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications where a striking yet balanced look is desired.
