' S hou s ugi ban' is a traditional J apanes e wood pres ervation technique that involves charring the s urface of wood to enhance i ts durability and res is tance to various elements .
The term “ shou sugi ban” translates to “ burnt cedar board.”
The process involves burning the surface of the wood using an open flame until it turns black. After the charring, the wood is cooled, cleaned, and finished with natural oil to protect it further. The dark, textured appearance of charred wood gives it a striking and distinct look. Shou sugi ban is not only functional but also adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship and natural beauty to wooden structures, making it a sought after technique in contemporary design.
