A
Closer Look at Yosegi Zaiku
|
|
Yosegi
Zaiku, is an intricate mosaic marquetry process that is
made into a beautiful veneer. This veneer is used to
decorate everything from chopsticks and serving trays to
the amazing Himitsu Bako (Japanese Puzzle Boxes).
Various woods of different colors are harvested, dried,
and shaved or cut into different shapes that are then
combined to make the basic patterns. These patterns are
then arranged to make sheets that are shaved into the
veneer.
