Kamakura-bori small chest of drawers - Wood - Japan - Heisei period(1989-2019)
Kamakura-bori is one of Japan's traditional carving techniques, particularly developed in Kamakura city, which is the origin of its name. This method is known for its deep and intricate carvings on wooden utensils and furniture. The carved patterns often feature motifs from nature or traditional Japanese designs.
The hallmark of Kamakura-bori lies in its delicate carvings and the beauty of the wood's texture. The wood used, such as cherry or chestnut, is relatively soft, allowing for the expression of fine details by the carver's skill. The finishing often enhances the wood grain while adding color to the carved areas, making the carvings stand out even more.
This technique, believed to have started in the Kamakura period, has evolved over time and is still highly regarded for its traditional craftsmanship and beauty in the modern era.
