<About Yamanaka-shikki>
Yamanaka-shikki lacquerware originated in the Ishikawa prefecture of Japan, and the methods themselves have been used since the 18th century. Pieces are carved one-by-one by skilled artisans, masters of turning the lathe and carefully applying the blade to manipulate and shape the wood.
The secret of Yamanaka-shikkicraftsmanship is tategidori –the way in which the artisans trim the wood used in crafting their wares. Tategidoriinvolves the cutting of wood horizontally, along the grain, rather than the common practice of cutting vertically. This results in a finished product that is far more durable and lasting – a quality that can be appreciated in any century.
This brilliant and time-honored craftsmanship allows the Yasukiyo Wooden Dripper to easily withstand hot water; Intricately-carved latitudinal ribs contain the water within the dripper for the perfect amount of time, extracting all of the nuanced flavors and aromas from the coffee within.

Though to be honest the outlook surprises me, prolly gotta do with the coating for what I've seen online was the actual wood texture that attracted me. Then again from the photo you have attached here is the one I got. The outcome is what matters and it's been doing a great job for my brews! Loved it how it really holds up to the heat, and gave me quite a fair experience. I honestly loved it, ive been using it almost everyday now in between my favourite mountain torch, they're both unique in their ways 💜
I have to say out of the many pour over cones I own this one is my favorite. This is the first cone that I own that is made out of wood and the urushi finish is excellent. Since it is made out of wood it is light and it does not absorb heat away from the slurry. I have my grind dialed in and using 4:3 method I have already enjoyed some great cups of coffee.
This wooden dripper is far beyond my expectation and is such a artwork. I have Hario V60 and Origami, while Yasukiyo Urishi shows me quite different feeling.
