In Japanese amezaiku, craftsmen did not put on gloves traditionally and kneaded and shaped hot candy heated on mametan (oval charcoal briquette) with bare hands, where the acquisition of technique goes hand in hand with the danger of burns.
日本の飴細工では手袋を使う伝統がほとんど見られず、豆炭で熱せられた熱いままの飴を素手で練り加工していくので、火傷の危険とは隣り合わせの技術習得となる。
