It's a wonderful piece of work. Everything is handmade.
It wasn't a contrived effort on Musashino's part, but rather an honest, straightforward sincerity that came from within,
Yes, it's precisely those philosophical aspects, isn't it?
It's precisely that honesty and straightforwardness that everyone can sense.
This refinement has been carried out twice.
Looking at this large stone tablet,
I have never used this tool before.
Then, previously, I had made a smaller hole.
I will use the stone tablet once again.
It will take more than a year.
After all, aligning the shape and size is essential.
Are you going to gather them all?
Yes.
Ah, it's Poté, isn't it?
The shape of this mog is,
The main shapes are molded.
And this ingenious person,
Very detailedly,
It is drawn in the correct shape.
Drawing the edge of Mog,
Draw Mog's foot,
Adjusting such things,
It is perfectly made.
And now, what he is doing is,
I'm attaching Mog's handle.
This mog's handle is,
It is made using a two-part mold.
And this divided mold into two parts is,
It needs to be slightly curved.
To achieve the correct shape.
And then he,
Curve the end.
Put it inside the slip.
After that,
It will be attached to Mog's main body.
And then he,
I'll paint around the edge.
With a paintbrush,
Put it inside the slip.
And then he,
It has a slightly detailed curve.
Byzankama is,
I am using Mog's body, but
He,
There are many handmade items.
And this person,
He,
I am drawing about 130 molds.
Oh, the sea...
It is located around the corner.
Ah, it's beautiful.
Wow.
I am currently at Matsuyama Castle.
And then,
You can see the main part of the city.
Wow, it's very beautiful.
This is
I believe it is an important cultural asset.
Hand it over in this condition,
Veteran individuals,
Without drawing this line,
a pattern of endlessly drawing kara-kusa,
We newcomers are,
From here to this size,
Center size,
Studying what is called "cutting,"
One day, I will myself,
When drawing pictures like a veteran artist,
Rather than just referring to it,
It shrinks by one-tenth, so
Measure the size,
Calculate at a 10% increase.
I'll handle it, so
That is also part of studying,
You must always draw a line at this position.
The thing about bringing a pen,
The greatest practice, or rather,
For example, if you casually draw a line right here,
When the veteran artist drew this place,
I understand, you know.
Size is,
The pen,
Hey, it's a bit tight here, isn't it?
Maybe I'll take a photo with a compass, who knows?
In this way,
After doing it for many years,
My hands remember, and
That's right, you know.
Hmm? I thought to myself,
Therefore, in the end,
I can't pretend otherwise, you know.
And the atmosphere of the painting also changes,
Don't you ever draft it first?
Oh, none at all.
There's nothing at all.
This pattern.
Confidence in creating something original every time.
A person named Mr. Goto
After all,
After all, it depends on the item.
It's not just a rough draft anymore, you know.
If you make the divisions a bit more detailed, or something like that,
There is something like that, you know.
This is, even without it,
a design that only a craftsman who is skilled with a pen could draw
Mr. Matsumoto thought this through for this very purpose,
It has dynamics, though,
Instead of bringing your pen back every single time,
Regarding this,
Because it's drawn with a single brush, varying in strength and pressure,
Since there's no trouble carrying a pen back with me,
It looks nice too, and
It's fast, and stuff like that.
That's why it's also a popular pattern, after all.
I really love bread.
Is it around noon, and are you all on a break now?
That's right. Since this is a factory,
There is a solid break from 12:00 to 1:00.
10:15 and 3:15.
Well, I have to do some work, so
It would be better to have a proper break.
There are also tasks that allow you to concentrate afterward.
I think it would be better that way in terms of efficiency.
Since this pattern is a symmetrical design from left to right,
Even the slightest deviation would be immediately noticeable, so
You can't get away with deception.
Originally, that high school had a design department,
Having chosen the ceramics course,
When I got to the point of wondering what to do with my future,
The homeroom teacher, who provides career guidance,
Kamimoto, it seems like there are jobs like this.
Thanks for recommending it,
What caught my attention was,
Even going back to my early childhood,
On the field trip before elementary school ended,
I had an experience with painting.
The memory of how incredibly fun it was back then,
Faintly existing,
Because I've liked drawing since I was little.
This is where the pattern is applied, isn't it?
Will it become invisible if I apply glaze?
What happens next?
After this, once it is fired, the glaze will become transparent.
You'll be able to see the handle.
That's called glazing, isn't it?
It's the process of adding luster.
like lacquering a tree
It is the work done to make it less prone to splitting and more durable.
You fire it once, before painting.
Then, after firing it raw,
When looking at a surface with a microscope or the like,
There are tiny holes in it, like a sponge.
That's why the glaze absorbs and sticks onto it.
What is the most difficult part of this task?
It's probably the speed at which the glaze is applied.
It's too late, the glaze is applied too thickly,
It becomes translucent like frosted glass when baked.
The picture I carefully drew ends up getting blurry.
If it's too thin, the powder will反而 burn.
The picture turns completely black.
It becomes prone to chipping or cracking.
Applying the glaze at a consistent rhythm is
It's quite difficult.
Then, let's take a look.
That's wonderful.
It is handmade, yet
It is meticulously and accurately crafted.
Once removed,
I'm looking forward to seeing all the parts.
Right now, the Kiln staff at Bizon are,
The materials inside the kiln
Taking it out from this rolling caster.
Put them into a wooden box,
Among them, moving to the workroom.
Therefore,
Everyone, really efficient, aren't they?
The Kiln staff member,
Truly beautiful,
It is very accurate.
The Kiln staff member,
Truly beautiful,

Simple and
Pattern also in one place
Clatter, clatter,
Conversely,
To extract food
Maybe it was serving the role of a plate?
That's the general idea.
Next is,
I'm going to the Bizon Furnace Museum.
This museum is the
The history of flywear and
On the creation of Bajon Kyrns
I will listen to your story.
When I first started doing it,
This must be it.
First of all.
Was it originally like this?
Something like this, that's it.
Mr. Shōji Furutake,
A designer, and
Artisan and writer.
They passed away several years ago, but
Mr. Furutake,
You have gone to the Persian region,
Persian, after all.
There are plenty of ginger plants, you know.
Over there.
Applied in that way,
After all,
The life of Fei Be.
Food,
History,
Things deeply rooted in various ways of life
Because I'm making it,
Foods like Flybe's...
Such geographical features,
Leveraging everything to life,
Was designed.
Or perhaps,
Toward a New Era
Create it step by step.
The inner world of humans
Philosophical beauty, and so on,
Such ease of carrying,
Ease of use,
After all,
To people overseas as well
Just like the Japanese
Accepted,
It won't expand any further unless it spreads more widely.
That's not good.
