The way of completing a Buddhist image

A colored  Buddhist image)


Usually we use a Japanese cypress wood for a colored statues.

Japanese painting techniques are required. Painting on the surace of wood is more harder than a general painting. We use special materials,such as an adhesive (nikawa), Japanese chalk (gofun), powdered mineral pigments (iwa-enogu), Japanese ink (sumi), and gold  leaf and so on.
