It is the job of the plasterer to build up walls of Japanese buildings using a trowel. At a glance, plastering walls with stucco appears to be a simple job, but it isn't until ten or twenty years after a wall is well constructed that its true value can be appreciated. That is because only then can the differences in the wall's durability or life span become apparent. Using his skills and a trowel given to him by his former supervisor, thirty-year veteran Mr. Asahara restores the walls of many of Kyoto's cultural heritage properties. |
