How to make "Andon"

 

We introduced "Andon" Japanese handmade lighting before.
Today let me show you how to make Andon.

First of all, artisan cuts wood materials.

He mesures the right size of each parts and cut it with cutting machine. In the final stage of cutting, he uses a chisel to make them right shape as above picture. He also uses a plane to 

make them smooth. It takes much time to make write shapes of each parts by hand working.

After that, he makes frame with all parts. This fine motif is also made by hand working one by one. It takes perseverance to complete it.

Then he sticks handmade paper on the frame. And put the light inside of it.

Andon's sophisticated light is made by every hand work of each artisan. 

It makes people’s hearts warm.
