I thought that I would experience minowashi structure or would also become a side which goes to a spot and it not only investigates, but tells the charm of minowashi taking advantage of this web site work. Then, it decided to send a work to the "minowashi light art exhibition" which may be called event of the minowashi maximum for display. It becomes in two months during the work, and an entry fee changes to 1000 yen. Since the lamp work using Japanese paper was experience to begin, it did not sometimes understand plentifully, but the beauty of minowashi was made by the desire to know, many people. The flow of the work is introduced.
 
 
 
 
Four straight lines of a unit are drawn 45 degrees with a circle on a foundation. Since the position of the inside enclosure was also decided by this line, the line was correctly drawn also using the set square. Since compass was insufficient for the size, the circle stabbed the center of the circle with long and slender paper and drawing-pin, made the hole in the end of paper by Shah Penn, and wrote the circle round as it was.
 
 
 
 
Eight holes are made in the intersection of a circle and a straight line in all. . The hole was made by the bench drilling machine. having constructed the bamboo stick to the trial a right photograph washi is stuck on this and an inside enclosure is made.
bench drilling machines?
A kind of an industrial machine which makes and processes a hole using a drill. A bench drilling machine is a thing of the small drill press which can use being able to install to a working table.
 
 
 
 
By two of them draw a straight line every 1cm from the edge of base. On the point of intersection of this straight line on the corner by three at all of 12 pierced it. I make the outer fence so that some thin strips of bamboo go out of the top.
 
 
 
 
I got the teacher to help and had the position containing an electric bulb hollowed by an opportunity. The sphere surrounding an electric bulb is also installed here. The right photograph cut to an even length and assembled the bamboo stick.
 
 
 
 
Six rings of the same size are made from PP band. Five are the business which makes a sphere and one is a spherical object for bottoms. It stopped with the stapler correctly, putting the mark with an oily pen so that it may become a beautiful sphere.
polypropylene band?
A union string The band made from a plastic used for the prevention from breakage of carton in order to band a load together. PP is the abbreviation for polypropylene.
 
 
 
 
The pattern was decided out of several kinds or a certain Japanese paper, actually illuminating in a light. The Japanese paper is stuck with a bond. The Japanese paper turned off more greatly was stuck and the overflowing portion was cut off.
 
 
 
 
The Japanese paper which seems to be different from a sphere was used. The Japanese paper with which it was more greatly cut like the time of a sphere is stuck, and an unnecessary portion is cut off. Japanese paper was rolled several times and the portion of the leg stuck it so that it might not look dirtily.
 
 
 
 
how which an inside enclosure will twist if it actually illuminates with a lamp merit [ the condition of light ] since that was right, it will not use. Since it stopped also needing the hole of a foundation, it was buried and also a spray is sprayed from from. Since it sinks into a board and a color does not stick well, it divides and applies to a number of times.
 
 
 
 
The bottom is colored while drying the upper part. Since the board currently used is different and the surface was coated with a top and the bottom, first of all, the surface is deleted and it was made for a color to ride perfectly. This is also divided and applied to a number of times.
 
 
 
 
The place where the mouth was square is dropped adjusting the length of the aluminum pipe cut in four. This becomes a junction of a foundation top and the bottom. The upper and lower sides made 2 times coating of a foundation finish with shaving.
 
 
 
 
In order to exchange electric bulbs, it makes so that the upper and lower sides can be removed. The aluminum pipe shaved as the point is put in the foundation of the bottom in which the hole was made four like a photograph. The tree of the cube which made the hole so that a pipe might be stuck is stuck to the upper foundation. In this way, it was able to be made for the upper and lower sides to assemble.
 
 
 
 
3 times with coating, the color was finely attached to the side by spray. If it gets dry, gloss will be attached by glazing spray. By carrying out like this, light reflects in a foundation and it comes to look finely to it.
 
 
 
 
A cover is attached after stopping and installing with a screw the lamp receptor pull which he has bought in a lower foundation. The electric bulb attached to this chose what shines in orange so that the taste may come out.

lamp receptacle?
The plug mouth which expresses a receptacle with an electric term and is attached to the apparatus by the side of a recipient, etc.
 
 
 
 
A sphere is attached to the upper foundation. The spherical bottom was inserted in the hole of a foundation and it was pasted up with the bond. A foundation will be completed if this gets dry.
 
 
 
 
An outside enclosure is assembled on a foundation, and if an electric bulb is attached to lamp receptor pull, it will complete. The right photograph switched on the power supply and attached light. Although the surroundings were somewhat bright, light reflected in the coated foundation well.
 
 
Appearance of the work in a light art exhibition (when I had the visitor see, impressed very much.)
 
 
 
Although the proposal of the work was considered variously first, there were few realizable things and it was troubled. Moreover, it did not become a thing different from that it was being imagined that actually made, or it did not become a satisfactory form, and was serious beyond anticipation. In usual extracurricular activities, a poster is drawn with a personal computer and it has sent to the contest. even if it can return even if it mistakes the picture of a personal computer, but it mistakes a work as before being alike it could not return and realized the difference between data and a thing anew. And the difficulty and pleasure which make the thing of thing through work work were felt. It was impressed by the spectacle in which its own work is located in a line in a soft light of the Mino Japanese paper light art exhibition.
