Sendai Tansu are usually made of Japanese chestnut, cedar, and zelkova wood. They are renowned for their highly ornamented iron fittings and beautiful urushi (lacquer) coating, which give these furniture pieces a strong and commanding presence. The making of Sendai Tansu involves three crafts: carpentry with no nails or screws; lacquerwork to bring out the beauty of the wood grain; and the metal chasing of the intricate designs. To complete a single chest of drawers, an average of 100 to 200 metal fittings are made in a variety of shapes with pictorial designs and motifs, such as dragons, lions, or peony, traditional bringers of good luck and fortune. ►General Production Process 1. Preparing the Wood Trees are felled and cut into logs, which are left to season for 3 to 4 years. 2. Owari (Cutting Thick Planks) The logs are roughly cut and turned into about 12 cm thick planks and naturally dried for some 15 years in a well-ventilated storage place. 3. Kowari (Cutting Thin Planks) The naturally dried planks are cut into thinner planks of about 24 mm, and naturally dried indoors for a further 10 years or so. 4. Cutting to Size The planks are measured and cut according to the size of the chest. Zelkova wood with its beautiful grain is used for the exterior surface, cedar wood for the main body, and the interior parts are made of cedar and paulownia wood. 5. Processing Particularly beautifully grained wood is cut into thinner sheets of veneer, which is backed with paulownia wood; this is to ensure the chest will adapt to a modern air-conditioned environment with no shrinkage or warping. 6. Assembly The surface of the wood components are roughly planed, joints cut and the chest assembled. The drawers made of paulownia and cedar wood are now planed to ensure a smooth fit. 7. Urushi (Lacquer) Coating Raw natural lacquer is collected and prepared according to the purpose. There are several different lacquer types: akaro, kuroro, shuai, and kuronuritate. The sap (raw lacquer) is collected from 15 to 20 year old lacquer trees, and dried in the sun; the 95% or so water content evaporates to make akaro lacquer. Kuroro lacquer is made by adding about 3 to 5% of iron powder to the akaro lacquer. Shuai lacquer is made by adding about 30% of rapeseed oil, pine resin, thick malt syrup, and other ingredients to the akaro lacquer. Kuronuritate lacquer is made by adding more iron powder to the shuai lacquer. The chest is smoothed and polished and receives its first coat of lacquer. There are three types of lacquering techniques: fuki-urushi-nuri (repeated lacquering and polishing), kijiro-nuri (clear lacquering), and shuiro-urushi-nuri (vermilion lacquering). 8. Drying 9.
