Carved from chestnut wood, this vessel features a pronounced central ridge and a tapering collar, evoking an ancient, artifact-like form. The intense black finish is achieved through a traditional pad-staining technique, using a linen pouch to tamponeer Yasutomo ink across the surface. This process allows the ink to deeply penetrate the complex ridges, beautifully highlighting the wood grain. Natural tension within the core fibers creates unique cracks and splits, enhancing the piece with the ever-changing structure of nature.
