Yakisugi, also known as Shou Sugi Ban, is a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique that involves charring the surface of the wood with fire. This process enhances the wood's durability, making it more resistant to moisture, pests, and decay while also giving it a unique, textured, and aesthetically striking appearance. Originally used for protecting cedar siding on buildings, Yakisugi is now widely appreciated in furniture-making and modern design for its distinctive burnt finish and natural beauty.
