This was made by bending bamboo strips with heat. Thin bamboo strips flex, so now we use boards made of hinoki cypress, which is resistant to decay. For the larger sizes, the thin boards are used as they are, with no work done to them. For the smaller sizes, holes were drilled at both ends and bamboo strips were inserted to make handles. instagram.com/p/CSEd2RdBJQO/

Dear Mr. Nishimaru, Congratulations to this beautifully performed, clean and condensed process I enjoyed watching.

Thank you very much.

Hi. Thanks for showing your work. I would like to know how do you back your print for display? As I know Tosa is super thin. How do you avoid the wrinkles? Your input is much appreciated. Best.
@MasayukiNishimaru2 жыл бұрын
when drying the print, I stick it to a glass or wood boards to dry flat. If the edges peel off in the proses, you can glue the perimeter with diluted PVAc. I usually use paper corners to mount enough flat prints. If the print is larger than 20x24 inches, I hang it with hinge or backing with some layers japanese papers.
@TheClassicShooter2 жыл бұрын
@@MasayukiNishimaru when you applied the Pvac glue , does the print get any wrinkles? I tried the photo mounting tissue but doesn't work. As for the 20x24 size. You said just hinge hanging (float mount) with backing some paper. That mean no glue whatsoever to the final support? Thanks again.
@MasayukiNishimaru2 жыл бұрын

very interesting. I've done some early kallitype trials with kozo and gampi papers. The main problem is that the fibers absorb the emulsion like a sponge. Do you size your paper?

@@MasayukiNishimaru Many thanks for the tip. I tried it and worked quite well. Of 4 Japanese papers I tried, 3 worked quite well, but the 4th oddly enough ended with soft, blurry images. Probably the sensitizer soaking the fibers too much.

Do you coat the sensitiser onto glass..? I have tried this with Van Dyke Brown solution without success. The sensitiser remains in droplets on the glass, creating an uneven coating on the paper when laid on top..!

Yes, I coat onto glass then transfer to paper. unsized paper will work.

Could you use a linoleum block to print the solution onto the paper? Maybe use Kodak Photo-Flo so the solution would spread evenly. Other ways to spread it evenly would be a rod or squeegee, rather than brush. The brush absorbs a lot of the solution.

Hmm, I defer to your knowledge, Mike, since you're a well-respected expert in the field, but wouldn't this qualify as a Pt/Pd mixed approach? After all, he's using the Na2 (i.e. sodium chloroplatinate) method - or would you still insist on it being a strictly Palladium salt method? I ask because this point has always confused me a little...

First of all, thank you so much for sharing your technique - beautiful work and very inspiring. There are, however, a couple of points I'm confused about: 1. you use a 3-inch Kobayashi brush, coat the paper with 4 slightly overlapping strokes, which should cover a width of about 10-11 inches, and yet, you say the negative is an 8 x 10"... - does the brush shrink that much when wet? (I'm wondering whether to get the 3 or 4 inch brush for a 10x12" negative) 2. I am guessing that your bamboo sticks are about 90 cm long and that you use heat to bend them into triangles - is that correct? Many thanks, Roy
@MasayukiNishimaru7 жыл бұрын
1. Yes, the width of 3 inch brush hair is 2.5 inch when wet. You will be able to coat 10x12 with 3 inch brush, if you can coat without overlapping. 2. I made heat bamboo stick to bend. I use japanese cypress stick for large size printing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5THiaRvmdGWrKcm00s Thank you.
