Traditional Japanese natural materials plaster (shikkui) offers many benefits compared to other wall materials. It is used in cultural properties like temples and castles, and has a pure white appearance that has lasted centuries. Shikkui dries to a hard surface that does not flake or crumble and is very breathable, regulating humidity and keeping indoor environments comfortable. It is also fireproof. Shikkui absorbs CO2 slowly, preventing the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and it can even reduce odor from pets, organic wastes and smoke. In contrast to western plaster that requires a lot of sand and fibers for strength, shikkui has been designed for lightness, and a soft wabi-sabi texture and finish are provided by additives such as rice chaff, straw, post-consumer glass, dyes and clays. Short strands of hemp fiber are mixed in to add tensile strength. This allows for the application of many different textured finishes, while providing great resiliency to the plaster.
