Hi yuya! What is the name of the the stake/ anvil piece you use to hammer the metal sheet against? I want to make a copper sculpture by hand hammering and creating curves but cannot seem to find them online, did you make them yourself? I read you called them "Ategane" was that the actual anvil stake or the technique? Love your work by the way it is awesome!
Hi, Thanks for your interest. Yes, "Ategane" (当て金) is the actual name of the tools. All of the Ategane were handmade by me. Making the Ategane is one of the most important part of the Japanese traditional Shibori technique.
