- Description
- An instructional video for creating "Gyokugan" eyes for a yogesi-zukuri (hollowed) wooden sculpture. This technique was perfected and has been in use by Japanese sculptors (busshi) for almost one thousand years. Original materials mainly involved curved and painted rock-crystal lenses (glass was rarely used). The materials used here, however, are commercially available and inexpensive, but the technique is very much the same that was pioneered in the Heian and Kamakura eras of Japanese art history.
