Suiage

This is a stage in the middle of technique called "Suiage". At first I make lacquer a little thick to the hand board which I finished until middle coating and take final coating. If the lacquer dries, I polish it staying brush lines with charcoal. Then, I sharpen it with a crystal more. Next, I do dozuri with polishing powder.

Practice of the carving (Chositsu)


This is practice of the carving of the technique called the Choshitsu. I carved and sharpened the lacquer which I painted and putted on several times with a chisel to make round form. The third from the left and the right-side end on the bottom line are the samples of the teacher. I understand that the quality of the circle is entirely different.
