| Date and time Sunday, June 19 10:30-16:30 Venue Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum Workshop Room Lecturer Kenji Suda (woodworking artist) A workshop by Kenji Suda was held to commemorate the special exhibition "Toward Kiyomasa". |
|
| In this workshop, based on the anecdote of the legend of the legend of the Matsue clan, Nyodei Kobayashi (1753-1813), a master craftsman of the Matsue clan, "Gosha Kumasu", an assembling ceremony that Mr. Suda examined the technique. It is highly difficult for participants to make. There were many applications, but we limited it to experts such as those who are engaged in woodworking. |  |
| In the first lecture, he talked about a basin that was prototyped based on the legend of Nyodei Kobayashi. |  |
| This is a sample of the masu made this time. It is a small size of 6cm square and is assembled with inner hozo and small holes. |  |
| Next, they gave specific explanations on how to engrave the gestures and tips for production. |  |
| The material of the masu is deer maple from France. It is softer than Japanese maple, features a white silky luster and outstanding stability, and is a famous material for its violin back plate. Cut 4 side plates and 1 bottom plate from one plate with a saw. |
 |
| Next, let's check the details. This time, the participants brought their own tools. I'm also worried about each other's tools. |  |
| The inside of the side plate is the biggest difficulty. If you don't carve here carefully, you won't be able to make a measure that won't leak any drop. |  |
| Demonstration. Everyone is watching the skills of Mr. Suda, who was recognized as a living national treasure at a young age. He also showed us a number of creative tools. |  |
| Dr. Suda is chatting with a masu in hand. A small number of people completed on the day, so I think that they took them home and worked. Everyone, have you completed a measure that won't leak any drop?
|
 |
| This time, not only demonstrations, but also woodworkers created works together. It was a valuable exchange opportunity to see tools. Participants who brought heavy tools from afar, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Dr. Suda! |
