Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's suddenly gotten cold!

It's about time to start getting ready for winter.

Let's be careful on our way there.

Especially my legs and lower back, lol

---

But that's beside the point.

You know what this kind of legal document looks like, right?

Do you understand?

Here's what it looks like up close.

I took a close-up, but it's hard to make out, isn't it?

Once you hear it, I think you'll go, "Oh, right."

 

It's the color.

This frame is made with colored powder.

It looks kind of reddish, doesn't it?

The frame itself is incredibly beautiful, and the edges are so sharp you'd think they might cut you at the corners! lol

 

But I can't hide the uneven coloring, lol.

To be honest, when you add color powder, the color becomes really uneven.

I often tell the government officials, too, but,

"Just be prepared for that—there will definitely be 100% color unevenness, which will make it look bad."

There’s a bit of a trick to it, but even so, there are still some color variations.

 

The trick is to use as much as you can—don't skimp on the amount!

Even so, the color will fade over time due to aging and UV exposure.

Put in as much as possible and stir as much as possible.

If possible, it would be even better to have a forced-action mixer.

I'd rather not use the forced mixer if possible, since it's dangerous.

 

There's a downside to adding too much—if you add too much, the mixture becomes sticky.

That makes it hard to use the curling iron, and the result isn't as good. (The result is poor.)

If the iron is perfectly finished, as shown in the photo, color unevenness will occur. (Is there not enough color powder?)

Even the standard amount might not be enough??

(Since it's already been completed, it belongs to the city now, so I posted a photo lol)

It's actually pretty difficult to use colored powder within the legal framework.

It’s still better than sprayed mortar, though.

 

The areas where colored powder is used are fairly limited—they include coastal areas and areas where the local landscape is a priority.

But after a few years, the color fades and it becomes mottled, and I find myself wondering, “Is this really supposed to be part of the scenery??”

Maybe the green-painted slopes in China are still better?? lol

 

Also, these days, colored powders are made to order, so in the worst-case scenario, a one-month wait is totally normal!

I'd better order a little extra, or it'll be a real hassle if we run out lol

Take care^^

 

See you later.
