The eyes are made of black armor segment turtles and stick using epoxy. After drying, I soak figure using linseed oil, rubbing it in wood surface in several stages. Netsuke ready!
Ittobori refers to the method or manner in which the netsuke are carved, with one movement of the carving tool, instead of carving in many different areas; and using two tone Korean Matsu pine wood.
The Ittobori style was invented by Sukenaga and enhanced by Matsuda, which consisted of using simple straight cuts in two-toned chosen Matsu (Korean pine wood) ...
Itto-bori started in 1137, when carvers decorated the dance stage of Kasuga Grand Shrine's annual Wakamiya On-matsuri Festival with carved wooden dolls. Since then, they have made newly carved decorations for the festival every year. Until the mid Edo period, Itto-bori carving was used only for sacred festivals and ceremonies. Later it flourished through the efforts of the late Edo-period craftsman Toen Morikawa (1821-1896) as objects of art available for general public throughout the country.
