Take the tour ×  As the title says. I found it on weblio
dictionary and it says ある人がその事に当たる。, but that doesn't help me a
lot, as I can't find example sentences (and the one I have on
the book I'm reading isn't too clear as well). Can someone help
me please?  share|improve this question The 集英社国語辞典 has a
definition with an example: その人の製作による。「人間国宝の手になる工芸品」 And 大辞泉
also has a definition with an example:
（「…の手に成る」の形で）製作の任に当たる。手掛ける。「応挙の―・る虎の図」 –  snailboat Mar 29 at

snailplane basically explained, 手に(by hand)成る(be
shaped/completed) basically means "done by [someone]". For
example, if an artist made a sculpture, you'd say
"ミケランジェロの手になるピエタ (noun phrase) / Pieta by Michelangelo".
Similarly, you can use this for a building made by an architect,
or a play choreographed by a director.  While its literal
meaning is to make something by hand, and that is the most
common use, you can use it for things that are not literally
made by hand (such as a building) ---
