I’ve published two new videos focusing on uwazuri — a stage often misunderstood as just “polishing”, while in reality it’s something different (and much more)

In the videos I show:

  • what uwazuri actually does to the surface,

  • why applying many layers makes no sense,

  • how surface preparation defines the final gloss,

  • and how curing conditions affect the result,

  • polishing powders like migakiko, dozuriko and their alternatives

This is a workshop-level explanation, not a shortcut or a review.
The video is the first part of a longer series on finishing and surface refinement in urushi work. And this time I have a backlog of video ready 😉
