Gold Leaf Part2 ・ 金箔押しその２＆シュトレンアップしました

<日本語は英語のあとに続きます。＞

This morning, I blogged about how I am into 24K gold leaf and my way of pass-time is to visit temples and shrines admiring its beauty and techniques. (Blog on Golld Leaf Part 1)

It was through the work-shop held by Master Fujisawa, the gold-leaf artisan, whom I have met for the first time. I could actually experienced the gold leaf decoration technique, turning plastic earnings into gold ones !

24K gold leaf is covering earnings. We then polish. 

These are the only two shots from the entire process but many others process are in between. A full day oｆ work shop was just enough to savoir the taste and it was more than enough for me. (sweating !)

After the work-shop, we discussed about how the artisan social circle shifted. Until very recently, they didn't come to the front line. They always had a someone contacted clients on behalf. And clients are only those relating with Temples and shrines. So if it were 50 years ago, having a work-shop or decorating accessories were no go !

But the time is shifted and now artisans are in liberal environment. Like Master Fujisawa, who established his career as gold-leaf artisans, he is willing to apply his skills on new area. He mentioned his area of business are expanding to arts and home interiors. "Is there anything you can't apply gold-leaf ? Any kind of materials ?"  I asked by curiosity. "Anything solid, I can do. Like woods, plastic, iron etc. Soft material like tissue, paper are different techniques so I don't do them."
That means we can apply gold-leaf pretty much everything !

そうそう、最近英語でブログを書き始めたので、『ブログを読みながら、英語の勉強させます～』　って学生のお子さんのお持ちの友人からコメントもらいましたが、、、これ、多分、私のブログを娘さんに読ませてるって事だと思うけど、大丈夫かな。全く対訳になっていないので、そのあたりお気をつけ下さいね。（笑）

ブログを書いている間に、キウチデザインがコーディングを終えて下さいました。
