| Location | Special venue in front of Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum Annex |
In the refreshing autumn weather, a total of 41 people, 18 visitors and 23 visitors, participated. There were some construction personnel and some master Sakan plasterers craftsmen, but most of them were the first to hold a mortar.
This time, I asked Mr. Hiroyuki Sato of Sato Sakan plasterers Industrial Works, a plastering business in Kyoto for four generations. Mr. Sato works mainly in tea ceremonies and Sukiya architecture, but on the other hand, he obtained a doctorate from Kyoto Institute of Technology in 2008 and is a specially appointed professor at the same university. The skills of difficult craftsmen were also explained theoretically carefully.
The tea ceremony wall, which is thinner than ordinary clay walls, is said to be a secret that is passed down only during some Sakan plasterers positions. In this workshop, we experienced the process of finishing the most important middle painting, including inking, chiliing, and middle painting.

First of all, they explained the structure of the clay wall at the exhibition hall.
 |
Next, we will move to the special venue for lectures and experiences.
 |
There were a lot of skills. Some of them didn't seem to be very first.
 |
The people on the road stopped and listened eagerly.
 |
There was also an instruction in my main job.
 |
The content this time was so advanced that it could be used for professionals. However, as expected, it is the explanatory power of instructors who are teaching at university. It seemed that the participants were able to convey the sukiya clay wall construction method and its appeal. Next, at the opportunity to see the tea ceremony and Sukiya architecture, I think the eyes to see the walls will surely change.
