The webmaster does not have not much many knowledge about Japanese lacquer. Although it is the right knowledge and does not become precocious, please read to a reference grade.
In Japan, the act which applies Japanese lacquer is called "KYUSITU." A lacquered technique is divided into three kinds such as (foundation, a ground, and an ornament). As long as it is the thing which can fix foundation (thing which made cloth and Japanese paper rival wood grain), etc. and Japanese lacquers, what kind of thing may be used. Makizi Honzi Honkatazi etc. is divided into a ground by three kinds. Makizi is the way of applying which applies a direct Japanese lacquer and shows a wooden pattern without making a ground. By a typical thing, there is Syunkei coating Mehaziki coating Kizitame coating Suriurusi and Fukiurusi etc. It calls Honzi and Honkatazi the thing which applied several times what mixed the Japanese lacquer with Tonoko (clayey powder) or ZInoko (powder of diatomite), and made it the ground. There is many Makie Raden Urusie hakue Tinkin etc. in ornament technique. Makie is the method of planting the powder of various metal on the surface and drawing a pattern and a picture. Raden embeds on a ground the shellfish processed thinly, and expresses a pattern and a picture. Urusie draws a picture with the lacquer which gave the color. Hakue sticks with a lacquer the board of the metal made thinner than paper, and expresses a pattern and a picture. Tinkin is the technique which applies a transparent Japanese lacquer on the picture and pattern which were drawn with metaled powder.
With temperature and humidity, a Japanese lacquer becomes hard and it dries it. Although it is on experience, when a Japanese lacquer is dried in the environment of 60% of humidity 15 degrees C of temperature, it takes 12 hours from 8 hours about. In the case of not more than it, although it depends also on the quality of a Japanese lacquer, even if it applies for 24 hours, it may not dry It does not dry, when there is little especially humidity.
Management of the brush which applies a Japanese lacquer
When the brush is used, it will solidify, if it is left as it is. Then, it shampoos its brush from tele pin oil, and removes a Japanese lacquer as much as possible. And it includes cooking oil and is a spatula about the remaining Japanese lacquer. (thing of the form which does not damage hair) It takes so that it may rub. In order to prevent dryness of the brush, it saves, where a little cooking oil is included. When using next time, it uses it, after washing cooking oil from tele pin oil.
About a kind of ocher of diatomite, it is the thing of roast and the ground powder. It calls Ziurusi the Japanese lacquer which mixed starch paste with this powder. Whenever it progresses with one-side Ziurusi, two-side Ziurus, and three-side Ziurus, the quantity of starch paste decreases, and the particle of Zinoko becomes fine and goes. The product from Wajima and the product from Kyoto Yamashina are in a typical place of production at Zinoko. Since the product from Wajima is firmly friable, it adds starch paste to a connector. Since the particle is finely ready, it is easy to use the product from Kyoto Yamashina.
