Once a “KOTO” was made by only one technician through all processes ― from the beginning to
the completion． But recently owing to the innovation of the electric tools， the process was skipped or
divided． Now I will tell you what process is generally used today． (T） Choosing the lumbers ― Check the lumbers in various aspects ※A little bent one is suitable for a “KOTO” so that complex grain can be seen on the surface of a “KOTO”  (U） Cutting the chosen lumbers  (V） Drying the cut lumbers outside for at least a few years．  (W） Sculpturing a “KOTO” out of the dried lumber.    (X） Searing a sculptured “KOTO”    (Y） Polishing a seared “KOTO”  (Z） Decorating a “KOTO” ― The techicians spend more time on this process in the whole courese of making a “KOTO.”    |
