After consuming a few hours of Japanese content on plated trunk creation, this is how I have come to understand each step in the process:

Over time, the rounded/circular cross section changes in diameter and shape via Shari, hand tool carving, shifting the live vein, lime sulfur, and sand paper + oil to make a “board trunk” or “plated trunk” as they call it in Japan.
It seems that early trunk movement/bending/twisting is essential to the future Shari and type of trunk that is desired. If the fibers do not move or twist, then the forced twisting carved Shari will be inconsistent with the straight and linear fibers
