京指物とは一体どのように作られるのか
1つの京指物ができるまでにいくつもの制作工程があります。
動画をご覧になれば素材選びから完成までのイメージを掴めるのではないでしょうか。
まずは素材となる木を乾燥させ、荒木取と呼ばれる木の余分な部分を切り落とす工程が行われます。
続いてに木を矯正・荒削りして状態を整えたら仕口ホゾ接ぎと呼ばれる工程に移ります。
微調整しながら組み立てていくのがポイントです。
加工された部分に接着剤を塗って接合した後、平鉋(ひらがんな)で滑らかさや丸みを出す仕上削りが行われます。
その後、表面を研磨する仕上加工と呼ばれる工程で木の特長を引き出します。
最後は文様などを付ける加飾加工を行えば京指物のできあがりです。
