I tried applying varnish to my previous work. I made it by imitating the professional teacher's insho (seal stand). I realized how difficult woodworking is. As expected, professionals are amazing at everything. This is a handmade work made by an amateur for the first time. It is a tool called an insho (seal stand). It is very convenient to carve seals by sandwiching the stone for carving seals in the insho. If you comment that you would like to combine the stone for carving seals and the insho, as it will reduce the shipping cost, I will combine one stone for carving seals and insho unit 1. You will then make the purchase. How much cheaper will it be? It will be about 200 yen cheaper. For those who purchase in bulk, I will include an intou (seal carving knife). Please leave a comment. To carve seals, you will need an insho, an intou, and a stone for carving seals. Other necessary items are a tensho dictionary. You can get a tensho dictionary for free at the library. If there is a calligraphy specialty store nearby, you can get the tools needed for tenkoku (seal carving) even cheaper. I want those who don't have a specialty store nearby to easily start tenkoku. With that in mind, I made the insho. When you start calligraphy, you first write on hanshi (half-size paper). As you improve a little, you will want to write on jobuku (long paper). Jobuku is the length of three hanshi sheets joined vertically. Once you have a work on jobuku, you will want to finish it by pressing the inshu (seal for the beginning of a work), name seal, and gago-in (art name seal). After finishing, you will want to make it into a hanging scroll. For that, backing is necessary. Once you can do backing, you will want to make a hanging scroll. However, to make a hanging scroll, you need mounting techniques. It's ridiculously expensive to ask a professional. It costs at least 100,000 yen. So, let's do everything ourselves. Once you've done everything, the hanging scroll is complete. It takes a long time. But if you think it's fun, I think it's worth trying. The world is expanding. #ASAGA Works List is here #ASAGA Art Flower Bouquet Works List is here Management Number: Unit 1
