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, easy to clean, and ideal for the demands of modern kitchens.
Sustainable
Our process begins with plantation-grown hardwood or sourced offcuts, 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.
My favorite cutting board EVER! So beautiful and wonderfully functional. My favorite part is that it’s water repellant and bacteria resistant. Everyone needs this in their kitchen!
exactly what we were looking for. looks great in the kitchen and great customer service
Love the board, looks great and feels good to chop on. Excellent customer service too.
I’ve been using my board for so much more than just chopping veggies. It makes my charcuterie pop, and I did my first butter board. Absolutely stunning. Cleans so easy, and no lingering stains or odors. I love it!
Quite honestly I haven't used my board for cutting yet because it's SO beautiful and I don't want to start marring it. I'm 100% pleased so far with the quality, it's look, super fast shipment and the best packaging ever!! I'm adding a snap because it was so impressive. Note the little wash-board lines in the paper. Even my cat likes it.
I really love this cutting board. It is beautiful to look at and feels so GOOD to handle. And it goes so well with my all-black coffee setup.
I purchased the Shoku set and I genuinely love these the charred finish is stunning and they look beautiful on display. I’ve used them for over a month now most days and the knife cuts as you can see from the photo are quite hidden to the naked eye. Will be buying more for gifts.
Really glad it landed well as a gift. Thanks Alice.
We love our Yakisugi board, have been using it every day for 3 weeks now!
Daily use is where these boards really shine. Thanks Tim.
I really enjoy how nicely this is finished and the handle detail makes it fun.
Really glad you love it Sean. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful board , cleans well looks gorgeous. I bought 2 of differing sizes.
Good communication, arrived in good time and thoughtfully packaged .
Would definitely buy from ARTSN again .
Beautiful piece of art ,I almost didn’t want to use it . Cleans up well and looks stunning . Love that it’s one piece of wood and that the grain is visible .
Package nicely and fast delivery .
Fantastic board, no seeping into the grain, cutting skills are better that anything else I have used in the past. So glad I can throw out the plastic and bamboo boards.
The board is exactly what I’ve been wanting. It’s beautiful and safe to use. I’ll be buying more as gifts!
Excellent boards, have now thrown out all my other chopping boards. Beading is great and exactly as advertised.
I purchased a couple more boards which will go in a hampers for Christmas. Also purchased the board butter which I can share with the family members who will receive the hampers.
Would highly recommend the Shoku cutting boards.
We love this board so much we bought more to replace all our chopping boards. They are clean, easy to wash, feel great under the knife and look good. Highly highly recommend!
This is a fantastic cutting board. Highly recommended. I have been using it now for about a month and there’s not a single knife mark on it.
I am so happy with this board!
I love this board, it’s beautiful and functional. I was gifted mine but have already bought one as a gift for a special friend. A special piece
The board is great to work with and cleans up nicely. It is definitely on the pricey side and not sure I would pay that amount again.
I love my boards! I love seeing them on my counter and love using them with my favorite knives!
Extremely happy with the cutting board... it's attractive, practical. I have multiple boards but wanted one to use specifically for meats / not vegetables and this works beautifully.
Great Cutting Board. Does everything they say.
Will buy some for Gifts.
Gorgeous board, excellent customer service - this is the one I always reach for! I’d love a larger size, so if ever they make one, I’ll add it to our collection!
It is very beautiful but it does show knife marks from cutting.
Thank you for the kind words. Knife marks are part of how these boards age - they blend into the grain over time rather than standing out against it. We look at it as character, and call it patina.
Beautiful, great addition to my kitchen , the size is just right and I like the handle.
Very happy. Until that moment I discovered it in the dishwasher. Keep an eye on your board around people with the Menopause.
I received these stunning cutting boards as a gift for my 60th birthday this year. I cannot take my eyes off them, and they are simply a pleasure to use. I'll be buying more sets for gifts as they make such meaningful gifts. Thank you Sue and Graham.
What a lovely way to mark the occasion. Glad the boards landed well. Thank you Nieve.
Love these boards! I fell in love with the dark wood burn technique and ordered. They are great cutting boards, water literally beads right off so I’m not nervous about water sitting on the board and ruining the wood or weird bacteria grown. One started to split soon after we received and they quickly replaced and it’s been perfect! Great boards and great customer service! Would love an XL board!
The water beading never gets old. That's the carbon layer doing exactly what it should. Thanks Christina.
