JAPANESE BOW REINFORCED BY BAKING CARBONIZATION AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the compression strength of a bamboo material by improving the buckling strength thereof, and to make a Japanese bow with high performance by utilizing it. SOLUTION: A natural bamboo material is baked and carbonized, whereby the density of bamboo fibers is improved to improve the buckling strength by aggregation of soft cellular structures, whereby the compression strength is improved. In order to attain such improvements, a proper baking carbonization kiln is used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
