As mentioned in the previous post, it's going to be my job to size the paper for this first set of senshafuda, and today was the day!

This photo is a bit of déja vu, as the sizing procedure here is getting kind of routine!

Tetsui-san preferred the 'both sides sized' samples from the batch we did together last week, so my work was doubled ... And once the stack of 100+ sheets was done, upstairs into the drying room they went:

Today was a clear and sunny day, so I kept the windows up there closed except for the smallest of cracks, and they dried very smoothly, in just a couple of hours.

As for the carving progress, Sato-san called yesterday with a couple of small questions about details of the design. Seems he's moving along as scheduled, and we should be ready for the first proofing session soon ...

This thread continues here ...
