Name
The "FUKI" in the name of this holder is taken from the name of the work process in Japanese. Here is a part of the process.
STEP 1
A mixture of urushi and kerosene is applied first and then allowed to dry.
STEP 2
Urushi is mixed with whetstone powder and water and then applied to the holder to smooth the surface of the wood.
After this, wait 1~2 days for it to dry.
STEP 3
Using only urushi, apply it to the entire surface, wipe it off, and let it dry.
The process for this part is repeated three or four times to complete the process.
Due to the need to work on the various processes described above over several days, it takes about two weeks from the time the order is placed to the time of completion.
