Abstract

The process of leaf casting has been practised in Europe and the United States for decades and has become highly sophisticated in recent years. This technology has been further developed in the Oka Bokkodo conservation studio to allow for the directional fiber flow that is characteristic of Japanese paper. In addition, a method of indirect leaf casting, using digital imaging, has been developed. In-fill papers for areas of loss are cast on a template produced from digital data and these are adhered to the original. The main advantages of this new technology are: (1) the original is not exposed to excessive amounts of water, (2) the casting method allows for directional fiber flow and (3) the time-consuming step of shaping complicated in-fills by hand is eliminated.
