Production process that makes use of craftsmanship
Production Process THAT MAKES THE MOST OF CRAFTSPERSON SHIP
THERE ARE FOUR MAJOR PROCESSESS in The Production of Iwayado Tansu: Wood Cutting, Assembling, Lacquering, and Manufacturing and Attaching Metal Fitting.
1. Wood Cutting
Mainly Timber from Iwate Prefecture is Purchased in Logs, And Naturally Dried for Two THREE YEARS BEING MADE INTO PARTS THATCH Product. PARTS ARE JOINED TO ONE ANOTHER WITH the WOOD GRAINGING UP TO HELP HIDE SEAMS Skill of a Master Craftsperson. Products Are Designed with an awareness of Not Wosting Wood as Much as Possible.
In The Past, EASILY AVAILABLE JAPANESE CEDAR WAS USED, But Current tansu ARE MADE MAINLY OF PAULOWNIA, WHICH HAS EXCELLENT MOULOWNIA, THE USE OF ZELKOVA, WHICH CAN BEAUTY OFE G Rain on the Surface, Has Not Changed Since The Past.
Cap.) A Finished Product with SeaMless Grain Pattern on the Top and Side Panels Timber is Sawed TAKING INTO Consideration The Grain of the WOOD WOOK Utiful When It is Made into a Product.
2. Assembling
The Finished Parts is the Put Together in A Way That Does Not the Wood Grew or the Grain of the Woods. E Checked with the Belly of a Finger to See IF THERE ARE ANY BUMPS And Adjusted with a Planer or Chisel.
Craftsperson SHIP ISED TO CREATE AIR SO THAT MOISTURE ADHERING TO THE WOOD CAN CAN CAN CAN CIRATE HUMIDITY THE tansuTHIS IS WHEN YOU PULL ONE OF THE MANY DRAWERS AND THEN PUSH It BACK IN
Cap.) CHECKING EACH PART ONE BY ONE TO MAKE SURE IT FITS PERFECTLY.
Cap.) Adjusting with a planer.
3. Lacquering
THE PRODUCTS ARE COATED WITH URUSHI LACQUER ed fuki-urushi, In Which The Process of Applying Lacquer to the Wood and WITH WITH WITH AS REPEATED Beautiful Grain of the Wood.
Cap.) Repeat The Process of Wiping Off The Applied Lacquer.
4. Manufacturing and Attaching Metal Fittings
Decorative Metal Fittings UseD to BE ONLY HAMMERED METTINGS Raditional Craft. In Order to Meet Market Demand, Cast Metal Fittings Have BeeN Developed with a Workshop in Oshu City of Oshu City NANBU TEKKI, A National Traditional Craft. THESE CAST METAL FITTINGS ARE THE THE PRODUCTION OF IWAYADO TANSU. Fittings Are Cast in Original Molds Made Based on Model Metal Fittings Hand-Hammered by Skilled Craftsperson.

For the production of Iwatanido chests, it is roughly divided into "woodout", "assembly", "lacquer coating", and "production and installation of metal fittings".4There are some processes.
1. Wooden
Purchase wood from Iwate Prefecture as the main, logging, lumber,2〜3After the year of naturally drying, make parts tailored to the product. It is the craftsmanship that the grain seems to be connected when combining parts and parts. We are designed to design products as much as possible that wood will not be wasted.
In the past, cedar, which was easy to obtain, was used, but currently produced a paulownia chest featuring paulownia, which is excellent in moisture -proof and insect repellent. The use of keyaki that makes use of the beauty of wood grain on the surface is the same as before or now.
2. assembly
We will combine the finished parts so that they do not go against the growing wood and grain. Check the joint part of the parts cut by the machine to see if there is no protrusion on the belly of the finger, and adjust it using canna and fleas.
It is also a craftsmanship to create a structure that circulates air so that the inside of the tower can be humidified by circulating the water attached to the tree. This is why other drawers pop out with wind pressure when one of the drawers is given.
3.Lacquered
Lacquer that has been used for a long time to rob the tree and preserve it. What was transmitted to the Iwatado Tansu is a technique called "wiping lacquer", which repeats lacquered lacquer and wiped off with cloth. This can further enhance the beautiful grain.
4. Production and installation of metal fittings
The decorative metal fittings were once only handmade brackets,1982Demand has expanded by the fact that Iwatanidansu was designated as a national traditional crafts. In order to make the number of production tailored to the market, Oshu City, also designated as a national traditional crafts, is the current mainstay. It was cast in an original mold made based on a seed board made by hand -made bracket craftsmen, and the Iwatanido tansu was useful as a marriage tool, so "peony", which has the meaning of happiness, longevity and prosperity, which has the meaning of happiness. Many of the lucky patterns such as "arabesque" have the meaning of.
