L'art du Sasanabori à Yonezawa, Prefecture de Yamagata, Japon

Qui peut me traduire ? 

Le bois est du "Aburanko" (nom donné par les autochtones du coin). Qui sait quel est le nom scientifique de ce bois ?

Je viens de relire mon carnet de voyage au Japon en 1972.

Et retrouve la notice qui me fut donnée par un artiste de SASANOBORI avec la pièce qu'il a sculptée devant nous.

" Sasano-Bori is a carving technique from Yonezawa Japan.  Each carving is made from a single piece of wood, and carved with a single tool–the Sarukiri.

The carving style dates back to the 9th Daimyo of Yonezawa: Uesugi Harunori.  The town of Yonezawa had been in debt for roughly a hundred years when Harunori was appointed.  Tradition has it that he encouraged the farmers to produce these carvings in winter so that they could be sold to pay off the debt. The success of the initiative made Sasano-Bori carvings “lucky charms” for the Yonezawa business community." https://www.followingraven.com/sasano-bori-carving/
