the symptom of a stagnant economy, not saying it's all bad, but due to the stagnation japanese market do not innovate as much by creating new consumer demands, meaning a lot of the disposable income goes to niche products like these.

I bet the West also had stuff like these but they kinda disappeared earlier coz industrialization. Japan industrialized later and on its own pace so I guess that's why traditional and mechanized production for the same item coexist.

This video is uploaded in quite a nice time! In Japan, there is a tradition called _kakizome_ (literally means ‘first writing’), and is celebrated when a new year starts. People would write poems or phrases emphasizing the use of Japanese characters ( traditionally celebrated in January 2, but usually for some, especially students, it is celebrated on a later date).

Kids are doing kakizome at the elementary school here....it is a nice tradition.

My family had some traditional Chinese calligraphy brushes, back when my mother wanted to teach me how to do...well, Chinese calligraphy. I didn’t last very long since writing Chinese is hard enough as it is, and using ink was even harder to control (for me), but these brushes are so iconic and result in beautiful calligraphy. I’m glad these crafts are still being kept alive. c:

Their culture has a great appreciation for their craftsmen... great to see!

I love all of your videos on Japan (especially)! Though I lived in the countryside of Japan for nearly 9 years, I learn something new and interesting in every video. My grandfather-in-law is going on 94 and uses calligraphy brushes regularly to write letters to family and friends and to take records for his specific sect of Buddhism.

So, basically now I want to dedicate my life to handcrafting these brushes - thanks, GBS.

@lillian8033

4 жыл бұрын

yes, those ones of good quality. Ink brush is originally from China. But I feel mater craftsmen are more widely admired by Japanese people in general while majority of Chinese young people do not care those? Besides, feel that compared to Chinese culture, Americans generally know and appreciate Japanese culture better, probably because of a better diplomatic relationship and media bias.

@kuku8846

I would think so. My family had a few (although I’m not sure how high quality they were), and the general look and style is very similar. That being said, it’s true Japanese culture is sometimes more marketable to the west, even though China and Japan’s cultures have similarities. But I think Chinese youths are starting to care a little bit more, with things like the hanfu revival movement? Just a thought. :oo

Hi Great Big Stories Team! Would you like to try to look into the story of Dr. Lie Dharmawan from Indonesia? He is the founder of floating hospital in Indonesia and have dedicated his life to do surgeries for poor people in small deserted islands in Indonesia who doesn’t have access to hospital. He is a really inspiring and kind-hearted old man, people often calls him “dokter gila” or “The Mad Doctor” because he always dedicated all of his money and time for the poor people! That’s just my suggestion, I hope you would interview and make a video of him if you’re interested 😍💖 God Bless You!

kuku88 traditional brushes and Chinese calligraphy are well kept alive in China and basically all Chinese speaking areas, also places with culture deeply influenced by China (like Japan). I myself as a big fan of Song, and Wei Jin Dynasty culture practice it with China produced brushes every weekend. And in nowadays China, a trend of respecting and appreciation of traditional Chinese culture is coming back, and daily practice is very popular.

Japanese are just better at marketing themselves, they attach all these illusive qualities that they claim the brush have, and give a premium mark up. Gullible westerners also tend to believe the made in Japan premium as justified.
