The grinding process is divided into rough grinding, fine grinding, and polishing, and the polishing part alone has to be done four times, which is really a test of patience, but the teacher will be on hand to teach you, so you don't have to worry about it, and it's also because of this long and delicate process of grinding that we can experience the slow work and persistence of the "artisan spirit".
