Eternal Preservation inspired by Japan

Yakisugi

Yakisugi is an ancient wood preservation method from Japan meaning "Charred Cedar". We love that fire can be used to preserve wood and find a lot of lessons of life in this method. Our Yakisugi collection is a new way of making black eyewear using zero dyes.
