Charred Wood (Shou Sugi Ban)
Discover the enduring beauty and resilience of authentic Yakisugi. Degmeda combines traditional Japanese techniques with premium timber for stunning, long-lasting results.

Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is a traditional Japanese method of creating charred wood to enhance its durability and reveal its natural character. This controlled burning process forms a carbon-rich surface that protects against moisture, pests, and decay. The result is a striking, low-maintenance finish that highlights the wood’s unique grain – achieved without the use of chemicals.
