2026_東京皮革工藝進修_Part9
主體的結構大致成形之後,第二天進入製作內裡的環節。
首先確實測量內裡需要的尺寸。
量測時發現左右產生了1.5mm的差距,老師面有難色,這讓內裡整體在尺寸上的計算又增添了難度。
我再度感受到,職人對於掌握每個步驟的精準度有很嚴格的要求。
這些對於作品的標準,透過經年累月不斷地練習,早已融入職人們的基因中。
配合皮革拼接的紋理與走向,我們挑選適當的部位來製作內裡。
左右兩側的補強皮片,像極了台灣的擲筊,我忍不住拿起手機拍照,結果意外開啟了今日中場休息的話題!
因為日本沒有擲筊文化,我在嘗試說明時感到相當燒腦,既使現在透過AI翻譯很便利,
但傳達的內容是否正確,我也不太敢確定。
休息時間,也很開心有機會參觀工作室裡各種可愛的植物;為了能讓它們健康的生長,
老師配備了模擬日光的紫外線燈、底座加溫板、風扇,並且時時為他們補水,就像照顧小孩一樣,非常用心。
這個充滿綠意的小天地,就像宮崎駿動畫裡的場景一樣溫馨又舒適。
今天在老師的協助下,順利趕上進度。剩下縫合的部分,一樣作為回飯店後繼續努力的作業。
期待明天能夠順利完成作品~^^
After the main structure took shape, Day 2 was all about the interior lining. 🧵
The first step was precision: measuring the exact dimensions needed. When we discovered a tiny 1.5mm discrepancy between the left and right sides, Goさん expression became serious. This small gap added a layer of complexity to the calculations, and it was a powerful reminder of the “Shokunin” (artisan) spirit. For them, these rigorous standards aren’t just rules—through years of practice, they’ve become part of their DNA. 🧬✨
We carefully selected pieces of leather for the lining, matching the grain and texture perfectly. Interestingly, the reinforcement patches for the sides looked exactly like “Jiaobei” (moon blocks) used for divination in Taiwan! I couldn’t resist taking a photo, which sparked our mid-day conversation. 📸
Explaining the culture of “asking the gods” through moon blocks was quite a brain-teaser since that tradition doesn’t exist in Japan. Even with the help of AI translation, I wasn’t entirely sure if I was getting the nuances right! 😂
During our break, I had the pleasure of touring the studio’s lush plant collection. To keep them thriving,Goさん has equipped the space with UV grow lights, heating pads, and fans—constantly hydrating them like they’re beloved baby. This little green sanctuary feels just like a cozy scene out of a Studio Ghibli movie. 🌿🏠
Thanks to Goさん ‘s expert help, I’ve managed to catch up with the schedule. The remaining sewing will be my “homework” back at the hotel tonight. I can’t wait to see the finished piece tomorrow! 🥂✨
