Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a method for producing a mother-of-pearl pattern on the surface of a flexible material.

Traditional technology The Raden technique was brought from the Tang Dynasty by envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and in the late Heian period, with the rise of the Fujiwara culture, it reached perfection as a delicate and elegant craft technique, and was used for example on furniture, Buddhist utensils, and musical instruments as seen in the Maki-e technique. Several hundred years have passed since it first blossomed in the field of craft decoration for swords and other items.

However, up until now, the raden technique has only been used as a means of decorating metal and wood materials with rigid surface characteristics, and has been applied to the surface of flexible materials such as kimono fabrics such as furisode and tomesode, obi fabrics, and Japanese accessories. It was considered completely impossible to use it as a means of decoration.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention Namely, when a piece of mother-of-pearl is adhered to the surface of a flexible material, when a bending load is applied to the flexible material, due to its rigidity, it cannot be used as a material for forming a pattern. The thin layer of shellfish that holds it breaks and falls off the adhesive surface, causing the translucent luster and iridescent color effect unique to mother-of-pearl to be lost.

The main object of the present invention is to find a technical means for making a mother-of-pearl pattern appear on the surface of a flexible material.

Another main object of the present invention is to provide a means for fixing a flexible mother-of-pearl pattern to a thin layer of shellfish used as a material for forming the pattern without causing flaking.

Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above object, the present invention provides a pattern having the same shape as a mother-of-pearl piece made by fixing a thin layer of shellfish crushed into fine particles onto a colored water-soluble resin coating. a step of copying the pattern onto the surface of the flexible material, a step of applying a transparent permeable resin liquid with strong adhesive strength onto the pattern and allowing the resin to penetrate to the back side of the flexible material, and a step of transferring the colored pattern onto the surface of the flexible material. a step of applying a water-soluble resin liquid onto the pattern transferred onto the surface of the flexible material to fill in the irregularities on the surface of the pattern; a step of gluing the mother-of-pearl piece onto the pattern; and a step of gluing the mother of pearl piece onto the pattern; The step of painting the peripheral edge of the mother-of-pearl piece with a molding liquid made of fine particles of platinum, gold, or silver mixed into a water-soluble resin; A step of sprinkling platinum leaf, gold leaf, or silver foil on the surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern coated with and adhering the platinum leaf, gold leaf, or silver foil to the peripheral edge of the mother-of-pearl piece; After wiping off the gold or silver foil, forming a film of the transparent water-soluble resin over the entire surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern, including the peripheral edge;
The gist of this method is to create a mother-of-pearl pattern on the surface of a flexible material, which consists of a step of wiping the surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern with a cleaning solution containing an organic solvent as a main component to remove unsolidified water-soluble resin. be.

Function A thin layer of shellfish crushed into fine particles is supported between a water-soluble resin coating and adhered to the surface of a flexible material to create a mother-of-pearl pattern. Even when the flexible material is bent, the pattern will not be damaged or the mother-of-pearl pieces will fall off, and the unique light selection and iridescent tone of mother-of-pearl will be maintained semi-permanently.

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the method of the present invention step by step. The present invention will be described below based on an example in which a mother-of-pearl pattern appears on the surface of Nishijin fabric woven for obi fabric.

First, a mother-of-pearl piece P is prepared by fixing a thin layer A of shellfish crushed into fine particles onto a colored water-soluble resin coating. A desired shape, for example, a pattern in the shape of cherry blossom petals, is cut out from this piece of mother-of-pearl P. After copying the outline of the cut mother-of-pearl piece P onto the surface of the obi fabric F to which the mother-of-pearl piece P is adhered, a permeable resin liquid D with strong adhesive strength mainly composed of acrylic resin is applied onto the pattern. , and allow the resin to penetrate to the back side of the obi fabric F. After that, the permeable resin liquid D was applied to the pattern part from the back side of the fabric to further strengthen the penetration state of the permeable resin liquid, and then the pattern transferred to the surface of the belt fabric F was colored. Apply water-soluble resin liquid C to smooth out any remaining unevenness on the surface of the pattern. After that, the pink mother-of-pearl piece P in the shape of a cherry blossom petal is adhered with its resin coating C facing the pattern drawn on the surface of the fabric obi, and placed in the transparent water-soluble resin liquid. Paint the periphery of the mother-of-pearl piece P with a tube drawing liquid E made by adding gold powder to the mother-of-pearl. A mother-of-pearl pattern, that is, the mother-of-pearl piece P coated with a mold release agent (for example, a fine powder mold release agent mainly composed of calcium carbonate and talc powder) before the tube writing liquid E has completely dried.
Sprinkle gold leaf on the surface of the mother-of-pearl piece, and adhere the gold leaf to the peripheral edge of the mother-of-pearl piece. After wiping off the unadhered gold leaf from the surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern, the transparent water-soluble resin liquid B is applied to the entire surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern, including the peripheral edge of the mother-of-pearl piece to which the gold leaf is adhered, and air-dried; A film of the water-soluble resin B is formed over the entire surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern (in this example, cherry blossom petals). Finally, by wiping the surface of the mother-of-pearl pattern with a cleaning solution containing an organic solvent as a main component and removing the unsolidified water-soluble resin B, a Nishijin-ori obi fabric with a mother-of-pearl pattern was manufactured. .

Effects of the Invention As can be understood from the above explanation, fabrics, etc. When a bending load is applied to the surface of the flexible material, a deformable mother-of-pearl pattern can appear. The mother-of-pearl pattern thus formed is
It has the same luster and color tone as mother-of-pearl found on the surface of metal or wood materials, and the design will not lose its shape or be damaged or the mother-of-pearl pieces will fall off, even if it is bent when tying an obi, for example. Because it does not occur, the unique luster and iridescent color of mother-of-pearl can be maintained semi-permanently. In this way, the present invention can be recognized as having extremely high practical value in terms of craft technology, as it can be used in a wide range of fields including Japanese clothing and Western clothing. Furthermore, since the thin layer of shellfish used in the present invention is ground to a thickness of 100 microns or less, the color of the shellfish itself hardly affects the tone of the mother-of-pearl pattern. Therefore, the color characteristics of the mother-of-pearl pattern can be freely changed by simply selecting the color of the pigment mixed in the water-soluble resin used as the backing layer. This characteristic also greatly contributes to expanding the selection range of shells that can be used as mother-of-pearl materials.
