Using chisels and planes on blocks of wood, Tohru Matsuzaki has crafted a lid rest. To create its round form, multiple facets were sculpted along the circumference of the wood block. Each facet was hand brushed with multiple layers of black, vermillion, and silver lacquer to create a sophisticated stripe pattern.
