The plane has been exceptionally well preserved by this miyadaiku carpenter; the blade shows only a single spot of light surface rust, and the dai (wooden body) exhibits no noticeable warping or twisting. However, if you intend to put it to work, you will need to spend some time conditioning the sole and sharpening the blade to your preferences.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegarding this blacksmith, I found a dedicated biographical feature; you can find the original Japanese text here \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ameblo.jp\/kasukabe-windbell\/entry-12697191055.html\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e[insert link]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
