Antique lacquer repair, Kamakura bori, carved lacquer
This is something I am doing as a learning project with a teacher who studied makie.
The carved lacquer has come off this very old whisk. The whisk itself dates to at least the Edo period but since it is damaged no one wanted it at the antiques auction I picked it up at.
The first step was to remove all the loose lacquer and then to apply a middle black in order to stabilize the remaining lacquer.
