Shou sugi ban is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation that involves charring the surface of the wood with fire. This technique, also known as "yakisugi", creates a distinctive blackened appearance and provides several benefits
永 · Lifetime

耐 · Heat shield
Ironically, the charred layer can help make the wood more fire-resistant.
美 · Refined style
The process gives the wood a unique, textured appearance that is highly valued in architectural and design applications.
