Manufacturing technology of oil-paper umbrella

The manufacturing process of oil-paper umbrella is as follows:

1, choose bamboo, choose the right bamboo as the umbrella rib, this process is also called bamboo.

2. Make the skeleton, cut the umbrella ribs into appropriate shapes, and make a complete skeleton through a series of technical treatments such as water immersion and sun exposure, and finally through drilling, splicing and threading.

3. Umbrella cover: stick the pre-cut paper on the skeleton, trim, shape and expose.

4. Drawing: Draw a pattern on the umbrella surface and dry it.

5, oiling, that is, brush the cooked tung oil on the umbrella surface, let it stand, and use it after it is completely dried.

The traditional production of oil-paper umbrella is very complicated, and all the process steps depend on the manual production of craftsmen. According to different scenes, there will be corresponding patterns on the oil-paper umbrella. For example, in traditional wedding occasions, when the bride gets off the sedan chair, Xi Niang will take a red oiled paper umbrella to shield the bride from evil spirits. Oil-paper umbrella was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, so it was called Tang umbrella in early Japan.

Method 2:

Generally speaking, the process of making umbrellas is roughly divided into three steps: the first step is to cut the ribs, and the second step is to install the umbrella surface; The third step is to paint flowers and brush oil.

1, cut the umbrella frame. Umbrella ribs are generally made of superior bamboo wood, which is sawn into bamboo tubes with appropriate specifications. Umbrella makers only choose smooth and translucent bamboo tubes to split as umbrella ribs.

Long bones are bamboo bones under the umbrella surface after the umbrella is opened, and they must come from the same bamboo. The cut bamboo tube is soaked in water and sunned, then drilled, assembled and threaded, and then the umbrella handle and umbrella head are connected in series. These processes require a high degree of detail.

2. Umbrella cover. Simply put, it is to stick the cut paper on the skeleton and fix it, but it is also very particular about kung fu.

The umbrella cover is made of special leather paper with strong pulling force, which is carefully adhered to the umbrella ribs one by one. The whole process requires slow speed, thin seams and smooth wrinkles from time to time. In addition to manual skills, the climate will also affect the smoothness of paper. Oil-paper umbrellas should not be exposed to the sun, but should be dried indoors.

3, paint flowers and brush oil. Oil is the first, and the oil for oil-paper umbrella brush is tung oil. Tung oil is an oil extracted from tung oil seeds, which has waterproof and antiseptic effects. There are also professional painters in the umbrella workshop to paint the umbrella surface and make the final decoration for the umbrella surface.
