The shikkui walls make the café-like interior of the salon a healing space
Ms. A applied the plaster in a relaxed manner, and that feeling shines through in the texture of the walls. The feel of the interior is also popular with customers, who remark that “it’s like a café” and “it has a very healing atmosphere.” Ms. A. herself also finds the comfortable space that she has created gives her a new pleasure in her work.

Umaku Nureru was recommended by a home center employee
Ms. A. had started to experiment with DIY six months before she commenced her plastering project. Engaged in a project of making tables and chairs for herself, she became a regular visitor to her local home center. One day an employee recommended Umaku Nureru shikkui. Ms. A. initially thought that she would only apply the plaster to the toilet walls, but ended up using it to revamp all the walls in her building. The results are very impressive, with a rough texture and a fascinating play of light and shadow creating a dynamic expression.
