当たり前

よく受け入れてくれるものだ、何の実績もないし、変なスケッチを持参したのに、嫌な顔ひとつせずによく付き合ってくれるものだ。面倒くさいとは思わないのだろうか、むしろ面倒くさい方へどんどん進んで行くのだけれど。そんな人がたくさんいるようには思えないけれど、こんな面倒くさいことを言う人に皆さん慣れているのかなと輪島にいる間は思っていたけれど、たぶん、そういうことではないのだろうと後で思った。

持っている技術が相当高いから、面倒とか、くさいとか、という感情や思いがそもそも湧き上がって来ない、精神的に左右されない。当たり前にできるから、当たり前にやるだけなのだろう。

確かに、非対称の形だから、難易度が高く、相当悩みながら答えを出しているけど、短時間に簡潔にできることとできないことを選り分けて、できる中から最善の策を出してくる感じ。だから、打合せをしていて本当に気持ちがいい。本当の職人と話をしていると、自分が考えたことが段々と実際の形になっていく実感が得られ楽しくて仕方がない。

椀木地屋さんでは断念したデザインですが、次に塗師のご主人が連れて行ってくれた所は朴(ほう)木地屋さん。朴(ほう)木地屋さんは仏具などをつくる木地屋で、御膳の猫足などのように複雑な形をつくる時に請われる木地屋さん、もしここで制作できなければ、この非対称の形をあきらめるしかない所だったかもしれないと後で思ったが、椀木地屋から朴木地屋までの移動の車中での塗師のご主人からは、何とかなるだろうという勘が働いているのか、楽観的な雰囲気が伝わってきたので、こちらはもう任せるしかないこともあり、私も能天気に車窓の景色を眺めていた。

10分位で朴木地屋さんに着くと、そこにはたくさんの工作機械が置いてあり、中には大型のものまで、うちの会社にも作業場があって、そこにも工作機械があり、達磨ストーブもあるので、見慣れた風景と似た雰囲気に親近感がわいた。帰る時に聞いた話だが、朴木地屋をする人は少なく、理由はこの工作機械を揃えるだけでもかなりの費用がかかり、尚かつ、工作機械を扱うので危険を伴うからだとか。この朴木地屋さんは代々昔から引き継いで営んでいるとのことで、ここの朴木地職人の方はたぶん私より若かった。

輪島塗の制作工程をとりあえず一通りは頭に入れて来たけれども、それぞれの工程での制作風景は当然見たいことがないから、それでも椀木地屋さんの制作の仕方は何となく想像できる範疇だったので、こうできないか、ああできないかと思いを巡らすことはできたが、朴木地屋さんについては全くどうするのかがわからず、ただ持参したスケッチを見せて、どうしたらこの非対称の形をつくり出すことができるのかを朴木地職人の方に考えてもらうしかなかった。

"Naturally"

It is a thing that accepts often, there is no track record, and although I brought a strange sketch, I often go out without attending a disagreeable face. I do not think that it is troublesome, but rather going more and more towards those who are troublesome. Although I do not think that there are many such people, I thought while everyone in the Wajima might be accustomed to those who say such a troublesome thing, but I thought later that it is not that kind of thing later.

Since the technology which it has is considerably high, feelings and thoughts such as troublesome or crispness do not rise in the first place, it is not influenced mentally. Because we can do it for granted, it is only natural to do it.

Certainly, it is an asymmetric form, it has a high degree of difficulty and answers while considerably worrying but I feel that it is best to pick out what I can and can not do briefly in a short time, So, it is really comfortable to have a meeting. If you are talking to a real craftsman, you will be able to have a sense of realizing that what you thought is gradually becoming an actual shape is fun.

It is a design that we abandoned at a bowl of a wooden store, but the place where the husband of the painter next took me is a Park wood store. Park is a wooden house that makes buddhist clothes and the like, a wooden store asked when making complicated shapes like the cat's legs of a meal, if you can not produce it here, you can only give up this asymmetric shape I thought later that it might have been, but from the husband of the painter in the car moving from the bowl wooden store to the Park Parka, whether the intuition that it will manage somehow works, the optimistic atmosphere is transmitted So, there are things that I have to leave to this one already, and I was watching the view of the car window in Noh weather too.

When arriving at Park Parker in 10 minutes, there are plenty of machine tools in it, there are also workplaces in our company, even large ones, there are machine tools there too, Takuma There was also a stove, so it got a sense of closeness to the atmosphere similar to familiar scenery. Although it is a story which I heard when going home, there are few people who do Park Parka, because the reason is that it costs considerably even just arranging this machine tool, and because it handles machine tools, it is dangerous. Park's wood store says that he has been taking over since a long time ago and the caskman of Park Park was probably younger than me.

Although the production process of Wajima coat was brought in the morning for the time being, nevertheless there was nothing I wanted to see the production scenery in each process, so still it was a category that can be imagined somewhat, Although I was able to think whether I could not do this, but I do not know what to do about Park Mokuya at all, just show sketches I brought, how can I create this asymmetric shape Park Ji There was no choice but to ask the craftworkers to think.
