    Historic Image Gallery

    In Japan, yakisugi is typically installed without oil finish or paint and then left alone. As such, it is estimated to last as long as 80 to 150 years without any facade maintenance. This photo gallery showcases some vintage yakisugi installations across different historic neighborhoods in Japan to document both the durability and the unique aesthetic variations after decades of patina development.
