New tool to aid in wrapping baren
David Bull alerted me of a new tool available from Matsumura-san. It is an ingenious device to aid in holding down the baren pad while wrapping a new bamboo skin. You'll find these in the Baren Mall under the 'Printing Accessories' section ... Here are some videos of the tool in action courtesy of the Woodlike Matsumura website.
