Summary
| Description |
English: A faithful reproduction of a 1728 scroll from the Sendai Domain that the depicts the manufacture of copper cash coins in Japan.
"After the mold of the mother coins is pressed sufficiently, the front and back of the mold are separated. The man on the right is cutting clean paths to each coin for the molten metal. The man in the center is removing the mother coins leaving the negative imprint in the sand. The man on the left is heating the sand filled frames with smoky pine. This dries the sand but the resin smoke helps the sand stick together to maintain its shape. The carbon also helps the molten metal flow more smoothly. Coins fresh from the mold are usually covered in pine resin soot." - Dr. Luke Roberts. |
