| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to determine how lacquer was used in the production of Menuki in the Muromachi period, we proceeded from two directions: a non-destructive analytical investigation, and a survey of historical documentation. Using digital microscopes, FT-IR, SEM, and X-ray CT, we determined that lacquer was used as an adhesive for metal materials. We affirmed this by finding accounts of metal materials being joined using lacquer in our historical survey. We then conducted an experiment joining metal materials with lacquer, and we evaluated our samples using a tensile and shear bond strength test (JISK 6850). Our results provided proof that lacquer does have the bond strength necessary to join metal materials.
