I am working on cutting off the tips of four branches with bold undulations one by one. The carving is done carefully while checking the amount of force applied. From now on, there is a greater possibility that unintended force will be applied to the branches and they will break, so I have to be careful until I finish the work.

大胆なうねりを持つ4本の枝々の先端を1本ずつ切り離す作業をしています。力の入れ加減を見極めながら慎重に彫っています。今後は枝たちに意図しない無理な力が加わって折れてしまう可能性が大きくなるので、仕上がるまで注意しなければなりません。
