Production scenery (carving work)

It was a female sculptor who carved this fantasy world into woodblock. (Saiko Nagai, maiden name: Baba) In the fifth year of the training of the sculptor, under the supervision of the teacher Sekioka Ogiori, she worked on it as a graduation subject for the end of the training period. The used woodblock is from mountain cherry tree. In order to make a very fine carving, the woodblock needs to be hard, but it also needs to be supple. Wild cherry tree is suitable as a wood with both characteristics
The original paper is turned upside down and affixed to the wood block, peeled off until it becomes a thin sheet, and then digs up. With a sharp cutter, she first cut all the contours that are convex. Because the cherry blossom trees are hard, it don't pierce deeply with a grip like holding a pen. It requires a lot of concentration and perseverance.

Remove all the concave parts. Use a chisel and a mallet as shown in the photo to boldly sculpt the wide area with a uniform depth. However, it is not necessary to carve 1mm before the cut outline.
After all concave parts are removed, we use a chisel and a mallet as shown in the photo to boldly sculpt the wide area with a uniform depth. However, it is not necessary to carve 1mm before the cut outline. Since the contour is very delicate, remove all the remaining 1mm width with a special engraving knife. This work is called “saraing” because of the scouring action. When this work is completed, the block for the contour line is completed. With this printing block, we also make an original drawing for the color plate. In addition, because it is carved to a very delicate part, it is the most important woodblock.

 

Carved wood block

The stage where the removal of the wide recess has not been completed yet. The details have been completed. It is white because the original paper is pasted. The state immediately after the slide for making the color plate original drawing. Note that the outline of the show window is finely carved. A slightly oblique photo. The details are carefully carved. The convex part is carved in a trapezoidal shape for consideration of sliding. (To prevent paint accumulation)

Enlarged photo of the rubbed work

The above block corresponds to Kurobe in the work. However, the black outline of the show window does not exist in the work. This is because, after being used as the original drawing of the color plate, all the convex parts were shaved off so that the contour line would not appear at the stage of sliding when creating the work. As a fantasy pattern, we want to eliminate the contour line, and we do that. Although it does not appear in the work, it was not until the engraver's “Shadow Effort” that carved all the outlines of the show window delicately, and the show window without the outline was created.
