【Sharp Tools ‐ The Key to Improve Your Mokuhanga Carving】
Written by Terry McKenna of Karuizawa Mokuhanga School.
The third is an extra edition ~ Sharp Tools ~.
Terry's calm gaze analyzes the sharpening of the chisel, which many printmakers are worried about.
There is also a section for "Mini Hiscare" and "Dia-Care", which are the original sharpeners from MICHIHAMONO,
and Terry came all the way to our company for this part.
There may never have been a book that explains sharpening in such detail!
