I just went and checked your post now, and it contains great photos I hadn’t seen before. It was only thanks to the Telegraph article that I understood that Yakisugi meant Charred Cedar (if in fact that is correct). I wonder if there could be a deliberate dual meaning or at least an echo of the other meaning there. Just so people can see your post, here’s the link:

fujimori is coming to do an installation at a gallery in melbourne very soon – HIGHLY exciting. i will be sure to go along and will try and share anything i can.
