Preparing soft kokuso filler
Eight videos showing successive steps during the reconstruction of the chest's lower moulding, from the application of fillers to colour-matching with patinated silver powder and final toning with diluted lacquer (urushi).
下辺枠部の補修作業の模様を、修理材の充填から、古色銀粉の色合わせ実験、希釈漆による色の最終調整まで、順を追って8本のVTRで紹介します。

The film shows the kokuso being applied to an initial brownish-coloured bedding layer consisting of cellulose powder and micro-balloons mixed with Paraloid B72. The kokuso used at this stage is softer, i.e. has a lower sawdust content, than usual - this is because it is being applied to act as a binder between the bedding layer and the standard, harder kokuso that will be applied in the next stage.
