ぼちぼち、乾燥保存していた楮の皮を 水にさらして、紙作りのための下処理を始めていきます。この作業は今から冬の初め頃まで、続きます。

ま、ぼちぼちと…..! すこしずつ

In winter, I harvested Kozo stalks, steamed them to strip the barks off and dried to store. Now soaking the dried barks in water to start preparing the fiber for paper making. Preparation of the fiber takes a whole different process and is time consuming. I will continue doing this little by little until the beginning of winter.
