The "hand" that supports the creation of the Brooklyn Museum is not one.
In order to make one wallet, many "hands" are involved and build up.
That is, we cannot accomplish by the Brooklyn Museum alone.
However, it is also true that the "craftsmen" that should be proud of the world, which have stored a lot of technologies in their "hands and heads" and pushed Japan into the country of building, are declining year by year for various reasons. 。
Here, I would like to convey a little "handicraft" of such craftsmen.
After the cutting, then proceed to the "good" process.
"Making" is a word that is not familiar with ears.
"Making" = process to reduce leather thickness according to items and applications
In the first place, the meaning of the word indicates that the water is thin and falls. As you may have pinched, it was a word that refers to the work of scooping fibers with fine nets when making Japanese paper, etc., and shaking the whole.
Why did that point to the process of adjusting the thickness of the leather?
There are various theories, it seems that it is a so -called hit character that takes a word from the "Skiving" "Skiving" performed by shoe craftsmen, "cut the leather before sewing shoes", and applied the kanji "making".
It is a word I usually use, but I didn't know that it had this meaning.
It is
The town, Kuramae, where factories and materials shops that have supported postwar manufacturing are lined up, and a stylish cafe suddenly appears in between.
It is a full -fledged company that has set up a factory in one corner and has been making a single -handed one for over 80 years.
In the morning, take about 30 minutes and maintain your partner.
Metal equipment requires delicate maintenance tailored to the time, as it is cold like ice in winter and has a fever in summer.
Furthermore, the equipment that operates full -time all day will gradually become "blur" as the process goes through the process. However, if this maintenance is neglected, it will not be clear which points will be blurred, and as a result, the quality of the making will decrease.
That's why no matter how busy you are, you are observing only this time.
The processing process starts with the work of finishing a uniform thickness for each part, which is called "all structure".
The leather parts before making a whole make are different depending on the time and color of dyed, so it is not easy to "need to be strained through the machine."
Moreover, it is said that the flexibility and fiber direction differ depending on the location of the leather where the parts are taken, and the "blade -through" when passing through a machine is different.
The appearance from the table does not change, but ...
The muscles are clear when viewed from the back.
In addition, since the request for making a making is made in "0.1 mm units", craftsmen know that the subtle differences are affected by the quality of the product.
Actually, this equipment for all making.
There was an explanation from the manufacturer that made the equipment that "0.2mm errors may occur."
Naturally, even if thick leather is thinned, it cannot be returned thickly the thin leather.
The craftsmen continue to realize "Technology to bring 0.2mm errors to zero" because 0.1mm is a carelessness that can ultimately reduce the quality of the whole Japanese product. It is.
After finishing all making, the next step will move to "Koba Making".
Koba making is a process of partially thinning the sewing part and the parts where the parts when the product is finished overlaps and the thickness is likely to appear.
By replacing the bracket called "pressing money", it is possible to finish it to the thinness according to various shapes and applications. All the Brooklyn Museum products are finished with Koba with "cuts", so we ask for a suitable structure.
It is very confusing, but depending on the parts, the thickness instructions on the four sides may be different. A craftsman who finishes them without any madness says that the image is made from one of the parts when it is finished as a product. In the middle of the explanation in this way, it was so splendid that it was a quick hand.
All dozens of parts need to take this procedure, which is not limited to accessories. It is an absolutely indispensable process to maintain the quality we want, and this splendid "hand" is essential.
"It's as thin as possible. But I want to keep the strength."
At first glance, it returns to a seemingly unreasonable request with more skills more than expected.
At one point, this neighborhood, where more than 100 craftsmen were crowded, are also in a shift in production abroad, waves of price appeals, and are forced to go out of business.
"Even if you have technology, you can't get a legitimate evaluation."
This reality is "real" that afflicts many craftsmen and declines the construction of Japan.
Nevertheless, the only thing that a craftsman with high skills like Asahara -san polishes his skills every day and provides more things is that he should not break this technology.
"I'm still a pepper. Still, I want to do a boastful job, saying that my child is thrilled and" my father is making it. "
Yes, at the point of Mr. Asahara's eyes, there was the first and second -generation smiles that lived in the post -war post -war turbulent, inherited and protected technology.
It was a deeply encounter that we had a mission to continue to convey the "value beyond the price" for things that were finished by connecting such "hands".
