彫金和彫り 台輪角金具製作３ 魚々子 Metal engraving, Japanese carving, architrave square metal fittings production, 3

3　神輿や山車の台輪金具製作で牡丹など松脂で出した続きです。出して均した後、下地の部分を丸模様の魚々子を彫っていきます。単純で基本的な模様ですが、ごまかしがきかない面倒な模様で職人の腕が分かるといわれます。この作業が終わると彫る作業は終わって、鋲用の穴を開けて切断していきます。

This is a continuation of the use of pine resin, such as peonies, to make architrave fittings for mikoshi and floats. After taking it out and smoothing it out, we carve a round fish roe pattern on the base. Although it is a simple and basic pattern, it is said that the skill of the craftsman can be seen by the intricate pattern that cannot be fooled. Once this work is completed, the carving process is over, and holes for the rivets are made and the pieces are cut.
