Techniques

No guarantee for the correctness and completeness of text.

Although wood is mainly used as basis, other materials are suitable as well as long as the surface is not too smooth. I am using wood or untreated fabric, which I shape in several layers over a model with lacquer and ricepaste, called Nori-Urushi (のり漆). This technique is referred to as Kanshitsu.
