What does this mean?

Does anybody have the foggiest idea what this is supposed to mean:

"A disk inside the Baren takes 40-50 days to create, as the craftsman glues one sheet of paper on the disk each day. The disk must then dry for a year's time before the baren is assembled. Other parts of the Baren are woven and formed from parts of the bamboo plant, requiring the skill of a true master. Only one known person in Japan is still making traditional baren for a living."

I am wondering if perhaps it is nonsense vandalism. Bus stop (talk) 20:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Ralph Mayer's "Artist's Handbook of Materials and Techniques," a baren is a "slightly convex stiff pad sheathed in thin bamboo." Bus stop (talk) 22:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
