I experienced making Ozu Washi Japanese paper.

[Sunset Hill] Nov. 8, 2012 15:00

The whole Chuo-ku Museum 2012 was held on November 4 (Sun).

There are many fun events every year, so I'm worried about choosing an event to participate in.

Participated in the Ozu Washi Paper Making Experience on November 3 (holiday).

All use a front mount because there is a risk of getting wet during work.

First, put the liquid of the strainer into the cagegirder, and then put the liquid of the strainer into the girder.

I will repeat the paper.

 

Hold the wooden frame firmly in the cage girder of the ship.

Rinse a small amount of liquid (liquid that becomes the base of paper) and throw it away immediately.


Next, draw a lot of liquid and shake it rhythmically about 30 times. Repeat it three times and finally draw a little liquid again and throw it away immediately.

Tororo Aoi is added to the strainer in addition to raw materials such as Mitamata and gangi.

This is to add troro Aoi to the raw material heavier than water to float the entire raw material.

To make it easier to peel off, the paper around the girder is used.

I'll remove it with my finger.

Next, suck the water of the paper with a machine.

(It's as if you were sucking it with a vacuum cleaner.)

Put it on and dry it.


Use a soft brush to prevent air from entering between the dry wall and the paper.

Don't get wrinkled. It is stroked with a brush.

I had a big wrinkle, and I had my teacher fix it.


We used the time until the paper dried to visit the Ozu Museum.

Is it strange that each flower oshi of ancient document is black?

Everyone in the historical drama that I see on TV is red.
At that time, ordinary people were told that black ink was black, and only those with high status were red flowers.


There was also an exhibition of a thousand cars. It's only a box, but it's quite heavy, putting a thousand cars in a box like a rat kid

It is said that it is difficult to carry on the shoulder. (The weight of 1,000 ovals is the Edo Tokyo Museum

It took about an hour and a half from paper making to finishing.

The paper making experience is until January next year, and it seems that it will be closed for a while thereafter.

Thank you very much for having an unusual experience.
