A vintage Japanese yakisugi (a.k.a. "shou sugi ban" outside Japan) burnt-wood desktop 3-layer drawer.
Yakisugi, or “burnt cedar,” is a Japanese wood preservation technique that involves charring the surface of the wood to enhance its durability and fire resistance. This method, traditionally applied to Japanese cedar (sugi), is known in Japan as yakisugi-ita. Internationally, it is often referred to as shou sugi ban, a term that emerged due to differences in pronunciation and transliteration.
[IMPORTANT Notice to U.S. Buyers]
As of October 17, 2025, eBay requires Japanese sellers to ship to the U.S. under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). We cover all import taxes, fees, and customs duties for U.S. buyers, so you should not be required to pay any additional costs upon delivery.
[IMPORTANT Notice to non-U.S. Buyers]
We suggest making a discounted offer first or contacting us for a discount if you like, because your order will be shipped from Japan under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) and may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties levied by your local customs office, which vary according to your local regulations. This allows us to adjust the price so the total cost remains reasonable for you.
