Q. After men cleaning, the men-gane looks like it has turned white – why is that?
How worn does the men-buchi lacquer (fuchi-nuri) need to be before it’s better to have it restored?
July 30, 2020Can scratches on the do be fixed with polishing restoration?
July 30, 2020Depending on the type, some men-gane have a clear coating on the surface; strikes and cleaning can make the peeling become visible, so it may look whitened and rusty. This is due to the material and cannot be prevented.
