What is Pika-Pika Shou Sugi Ban?

Charred Sugi Brushed Twice

Pika-Pika® is made by passing the shou sugi ban planks through a second wire brushing process that removes all loose soot from the softer spring growth rings and leaves the late wood as contrasting burnt ridges. It is a topographic, textured surface that follows the wood grain, and we hand-grade after surfacing to achieve a consistent blend of heartwood and sapwood.
