2. [Primer Coat] Apply a layer of gofun primer to the entire wooden surface using a doll brush.
3. [Making Decorative Molds] Pack clay into a wooden mold and remove the mold (commission a woodcarver to create the wooden mold).
4. [Applying Decorative Templates] Apply a layer of gofun-based primer to the sun-dried decorative templates, then affix them to the wooden base. Once affixed, apply another layer of gofun-based primer to finish the base coat.
5. [Surface Sanding] Allow the primer coat to dry thoroughly, then sand the surface with a grinding stone or wet sandpaper to make it smooth.
6. [Applying Lacquer] Apply lacquer to match the color of the undercoat. This prevents the undercoat paint from being absorbed into the substrate and helps avoid uneven coloring.
7. [Primer Coat] Filter the cashew nut lacquer through high-quality Japanese paper and apply it evenly over the entire surface using a lacquer brush. To protect it from dust, place it in a drying chamber to dry.
8. [Hot Stamping] Apply gold leaf evenly over the entire surface, pressing it down while wiping away any excess.
