The colour of the resin is more or less intense depending on the varying depths of the wood across its surface.

The information below is from Jo Nagasaka:
Flat Table peeled
The Shrine Flat-table is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Japanese Hassoku dai, which means 8 legged table. The top of the Shrine Table can be separated from its legs.
In addition to the traditional table we added a layer of coloured epoxy poured on a wooden surface which grain had been gushed out to create different depth and by doing so various intensity in colour.
Shrine Flat-table comes in 3 Heights with the following dimensions: 750x300 (top) and total height of 540, 720 or 900mm.
