Tsumami Kanzashi Documentary 1/5

Tsumami kanzashi Documentary 1/5

Documentary about hana tsumami kanzashi, Japanese traditional silk hair ornaments. I did not make, nor do I own the film. I simply love tsumami kanzashi and hope to share some information about it! I am truly sorry that it is with no translation, but I do not know Japanese. Anyone willing to translate and make subtitles will be very welcome!

I googled how to make rice paste and the site that came up had this video. I would like to know if there was an error and the recipe is supposed to have 1/4 cup SUGAR, not salt, I ask because I made it 2x and destroyed my blender, (my fault) the blender was old anyway. And each time I can feel what can only be, rice or salt. Looks like salt and the rice was blended well. I am gonna make it one or time at least and when I do I am gonna put sugar, not salt, and see what happens.

@willow6969696969 I doublt it's sugar. It's surely salt - the glue is salty in taste (I once tad to hold a glued petal in my mouth).

Starch will make it crisp and easier to fold. I know nothing about the art but was fascinated and read somewhere why they often use starch. you spray the fabric before cutting and folding.

At 4:05, what is being applied to the silk? Thanks :)

Okay TY do u recall a grainy salt texture? Now I am not gonna try it with salt gonna make wheat paste instead. If that don't give me the finished dry result I want then I may have to move on to glue and water mixture or the stuff you can get at the hardware store.
