Japanese IVood- Carving
Set 5.—Lesson i.—Straight border patterns.—
Chokusen Fuchi Moyo. Useful patterns of a com-
paratively simple character.
Lesson 2.—Straight girdle patterns.—Kyokusen
Fuchi Moyo. The principal ornaments are derived
from Japanese braid-work.
Lesson 3.—Curved border patterns.—Kyokusen
Fuchi. Strength of handwork in the upper pattern
is contrasted with the delicacy of the lower ones.
Lesson 4.—Curved girdle patterns.—Kyokusen
Obi Moyo. Full of delicate cutting and careful
surface modelling.
Lesson 5.—Old Chinese Tensho, or Seal char-
acters. The depth of the cutting is comparatively
uniform throughout.
Lesson 6.—Chinese letters. These freehand
"writing" characters should be reproduced with as
few strokes of the chisel as possible.
