Originalism is a theory of interpreting legal texts holding that a text in law, especially the U.S. Constitution, should be interpreted as it was understood at the time of its adoption.

Yakisugi (Japanese: 焼杉, lit. 'burnt cypress '[1]) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation.[2][1] It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and is also available as shou sugi ban (焼杉板), a term which uses the same kanji characters but an alternative pronunciation. The ban character means "plank".

By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes water-proof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable, [3][4] however there is conflicting evidence that this method of wood preservation does not improve durability or fire resistance.[5] It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant.[6]

Examples[edit]

Contemporary architect Terunobu Fujimori works with yakisugi.[7][8]
