JAC-YBK-504-03 Wood craftsman Mr. Kawashita made Yakusugi Oily burl with Toramoku (Tiger Grain) Decorative vase

This is a decorative vase made from Yakusugi Oily burl with tiger grain, crafted by wood craftsman Mr.Yukinori Kawashita.

The shape of the mouth retains the natural texture of the material, showcasing a “design by nature.”
This decorative vase is crafted from "aburakobu" (oily burl) of Yakusugi wood, estimated to be around 2,000 years old.
A burl is a swelling that forms on a tree when it is injured or grows abnormally, as resin accumulates and pushes outward.
Among these, aburakobu refers specifically to burls rich in natural resin and oils, making them especially prized for their luster and depth.
In particular, Yakusugi oily burl is highly valued for its exceptional beauty and is often used in high-end woodworking.
This burl wood also features a rare and striking grain known as “toramoku” (tiger stripe figure)—a shimmering, striped pattern that changes appearance depending on the viewing angle.
The intricate shimmer of the tiger grain along the sides is especially stunning.
Truly, this decorative vase is worthy of being called a masterpiece of beauty.
