Product Description

“Black” in Japanese

A single piece of solid hardwood, hand-charred using Yakisugi - the centuries-old Japanese technique of preserving wood through fire.

The charring isn’t decorative. It hardens the surface, reveals the natural grain, and creates a deep carbon layer that helps repel water, resist bacteria, and minimise staining. Over time, KURO develops even more character through use.

At 45 x 30 x 3cm, KURO is our largest and heaviest board to date. Thick, weighty, and intentionally oversized, it’s designed for slow dinners, heavy prep, shared meals, and statement kitchens.

No unnecessary curves. No wasted space. Just a bold slab of blackened hardwood built to be used daily, and left on display.

Don't take our word for it. Watch the board do the work.

Four things people ask before they buy - answered in a few seconds each.

The Proof

The Water Test

Same water. Same pour. Completely different result.

Regular Wood

Regular Wood

Absorbs. Stains. Warps.

Water penetrates the surface, carrying bacteria deep into the grain where cleaning can't reach.

ARTSN — Fire-Treated

Repels. Beads. Protects.

Water can't penetrate the charred carbon surface. It beads into perfect spheres and rolls away. No staining. No bacteria entry.

Our Story

Our limited collection of handcrafted, Japanese-inspired cutting boards have been created in partnership with skilled artisans—real people dedicated to crafting products that bring connection, functionality and beauty to your kitchen.

Shou Sugi Ban

Shou Sugi Ban, a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique, involves carefully charring the surface of wood to enhance its durability and beauty.

This age-old technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures that our cutting boards are exceptionally durable, hygienic, and ideal for the demands of modern kitchens.

Sustainable

Our process begins with responsibly sourced timber and reclaimed logs, carefully cut into smaller blocks. Through expert craftsmanship, these blocks are transformed into beautiful boards, each piece telling the story of sustainability and an artisans craft.
