In Japan, Shou Sugi Ban has been used for centuries, traditionally (as the name suggests) with cedarwood, though this type of wood has its own history of problems in the country, in terms of the creation of monoculture cedar forests after World War 2 which led to the disruption or destruction of many ecosystems (6).

The Horyuji Temple, the pagoda of which was built using Shou Sugi Ban is widely considered as the “oldest wooden building in the world” (7, 8) – dating back to 711 AD. An example of the effectiveness of the technique!

Shou sugi ban is the Westernized term for what is known in Japan as yaki sugi-ita (or just Yakisugi), which translates loosely into ‘‘burned cedar board.’’ (Although in English ‘‘sugi’’ is colloquially defined as cedar, it’s actually Cryptomeria japonica, a Cypress-family species indigenous to Japan.) To achieve the effect, planks of wood are treated with the heat on their outward faces only: Traditionally, three boards are tied together lengthwise to form a triangular tunnel. The interior is then set on fire and the scorched surface cooled with water.

Nevertheless, if you were to visit Japan and go to Nara prefecture you could find the Horyuji Temple, the pagoda of which was built using Shou Sugi Ban and which is widely considered as the “oldest wooden building in the world” (7, 8) – dating back to 711 AD. An example of the effectiveness of the technique! Don’t worry if you don’t have Japan-bound travel plans, though; you can engage in this ancient technique in your own building project wherever you are.

What I learned differs from the ancient art in that the tool I used for the actual charring was an oxygen and propane-powered blowtorch – probably not that common back in the 8th century. Though Shou Sugi Ban is becoming quite popular with architects all over the world and there is quite a lot of online information about it (see for example 1, 9), I have not been able to discover the original technique, though it probably involved directing fire in a similar way to a blowtorch.

This technique can be used for any wooden construction which will be exposed to the outdoors. If you are constructing an entire building you only need to char
