Each of different-colored wood pieces
are planed to the proper thickness to make Yosegi pattern and fastened
with glue in order of the pattern.
The layered wood are sawn to fit a Yosegi-specific mold into a piece. |
| |
|
| |
|
The cut pieces are planed accurately.
The glue is spread out on each completed piece to make a unit pattern. |
 |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
The pieces are tied together and glued. Then
this block of a unit pattern is sawn into several slices to form a
larger pattern. |
| |
|
| |
|
| The cut slices are glued together again. This
repeated process of cutting and gluing makes a larger pattern. The
resultant plate is called Tanegi. |
 |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
The plate is shaved carefully into thin sheets
with a special big plane. This shaved sheet is called Duku. |
| |
|
| |
|
| As the shaved sheets are shrunken, they are ironed
and stuck on the products. |
