Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

This is a legal framework that caught my attention when I visited Yokohama the other day.

Is anyone else curious about this? lol

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 remember being told this by government officials a long time ago; they said, “Be prepared—there will definitely be color unevenness, and it will 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 mix as thoroughly as possible. If possible, it’s even better to use 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 difficult to get the desired result.

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 gets all mottled—I just have to wonder, “Is this really supposed to be a nice view??” lol

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

 

See you later.
