Hakuito Making
Thin shells, shaved to about 0.1 mm, are cut into pattern shapes and applied onto washi paper.
Mother-of-pearl reflects light differently by angle, so each piece is cut and placed for a natural luster.
The adhesive is adjusted according to humidity and temperature, ensuring the shells and foil remain firmly in place.
Cutting
Washi with mother-of-pearl and gold decoration is cut into 0.6～0.75 mm strips using a guillotine.
The paper is secured to keep the blade angle precise and prevent damage.
After cutting, each strip is visually inspected for any lifting or peeling of the shell or foil.
Weaving
The cut foil threads are used as weft and passed through the opened warp threads with a small shuttle.
Because the foil threads are flat, they are woven with great care to prevent them from flipping.
With each pass, the marks at the thread ends are checked against the pattern to ensure even the slightest shift does not occur.If the alignment shifts even slightly, the luster of the shell’s mother-of-pearl can be diminished.
