I admire these craftsmen. Their journey from youth to master of all the skills to produce a finished product, with loving care, patience, and devotion, is truly deserving of the highest praise.
Beautiful arts and craftsmanship. Bernard Leach spent his childhood in Japan and Hamada Shōji became partners in bringing these arts to Britain. Bernard Leach was friends with the family of potters who I worked under in the 70's, sharing the same art and styles. Wonderful filming. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this beautifully produced video of master crafters. I found it extremely interesting and very educational and I shall continue to look forward to more such videos.
Absolutely awesome arts and crafts. I have always been in awe with their refined talents and skills. In fact it's bc of their attention to the smallest detail that I have been working on my own set of skills for 40 years of my life. Now I can dedicate my entire days instead of bits and pieces. Thank you for videos such as this one ❤ I appreciate them very much and I love learning from them as well. 😊
Not just craftsmen, but artists, all of these gentlemen are. I could watch them all day, their skill is amazing.
Wahnsinn was diese Handwerker können. Meinen absoluten Respekt ❤
It will listen and watch your elders always watch knowledge is the best
Your skill are second to none, excellence at its best. Thank you!

Thank you ! ❤👏👏👏
Breathtaking Koto Craftsmanship!!!❤️🙏🏻❤️
The work of these gentlemen is amazing!
Taking extreme pride in their work.👍👍🙏🏼
These people are highly skilled. I have never been in Japan, but I heard from some people that it is very busy and stressful and that people work hard. Perhaps it depends where you go. The people in this video were the opposite of stressful, even though they work hard. They exude such peace that I became calmer just watching them. Thank you for sharing this beauty.

Japanese choose the job they like over the money , that is the main reason they work very hard because they love what they doing . This 81 years old man still building KoTo instrument because he love his trade , his life is live to built Koto , the day he stop is the saddest day in his life . Look at the workshop only seniors Japanese workers around 70’s years old , none are retired and the way they work you can tell how much they love theirs jobs ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful instrument and sound.
Amazing and inspiring!
Admiring Japanese craftsmanship is soul balm.
Wow!😮 Magnificent! Such perfection through patience and mastery.
You make me feel so insignificant. They/you spend your life making such great things…I haven’t done half so much. Kudos for your lives.
It is so nice to see traditional craftsmen work.
I am so impressed.
EXCELLENCE 😊...always

Вы большие молодцы....УВАЖАЮ...
Hiya😊,It was the wonderful smile on the face of the gentleman who crafted the ladle that caused me to stop and watch your most instructive video! One can only be in awe of each of the master craftsmen showcased here.Not only their skills,dedication and attention to every aspect/ detail of their processes; it's like they are instilling a part of themselves into the object they are creating. Much admiration and appreciation, to them and all involved in producing this delightful film!May all keep safe,well and content,always.With sincere gratitude,J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ 😀 🪃 .

I enjoy watching the precision and traditional dedication to the crafts so prevalent in Japanese craft industries from glass making, woodwork, carving furniture making and the traditional pottery and music industries that are so Labour intensive yet, define the hard working and dedicated soul of Japanese craftsmen. I particularly love their ,pottery work and making of musical instruments. They cut no corners and the unseen portions of their crafts are met with the same artistry and fine detail of the prominent portions of their work. It is a condition of the Japanese soul to work with such precision and perfection. Japan is a nation where crafts of all kinds can be found that often define this often perfectionist viewpoint and patience that is too often lacking in the crafts of other nations. For instance I recently viewed the repair of ancient pottery pieces on damaged or all but wrecked pottery that were for museums and personal family items. many of the art pieces had been repaired earlier, either by foreign or less dedicated craftsmen and had lost much of their fine detail and beauty. I was amazed at the two craftsmen who worked with such quiet dedication and finesse to not only restore these pieces to a state that was done with such patience and composure that they were returned to their ancient beauty. It was a delightful viewing of the lengths these craftsmen were willing to go in order to restore family heirlooms and museum pieces with such delightful skill and patience. I found myself enthralled by the skills that these craftsmen had at their fingertips and the hours of labour that it took to refine their artistry which they applied to all their work. Often the end results were fa tactic to behold.😊😮😊

@@williamwilson2270 thankyou for your uplifting comment.l have a set of belek(lrish ware,no longer made as the clay from those water meadows dried out nearly 100yrs ago) porcelain egg cups (actually goose egg cups) via my g-g-grandmamas gifting and kept the cracked ones whilst gifting the others to my son's.When the younger was in Japan earlier this year he found a gentleman who is to repair these for me as he was so happy to see the china(was renowned for its being so fine that you can see the light through it.); His only proviso being that l should" trust it's spirit to his care"!I believe their craft ethic comes from their love of what they do,so of course it shows! Be well,safe and content;&all with you,J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia. 🇦🇺 ❤ 😀 🪃
Учеников вам побольше талантливых и трудолюбивых!!! Передайте свой талант молодым обязательно!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇷🇺🇷🇺

They definitely are.
Me fascina sus obras de arte ,amo a Japón
satisfying tradition, and no updates of bits and bites every day !
I love it!!!
Wunderbares Video ,der lebenserfahrene Meister baut mit Fachwissen, und Hingabe ein so schön klingendes Instrument! Es war mir eine große Freude, so etwas gesehen zu haben, vielen Dank vielmals!👍🙏👏
The gentleman isjust amazing, the techniques he used.
Something peaceful with just watching a master at his job and letting his tools do the talking.
I lived (visited) in Japan for 2 years. Didn't learn enough. Much Respect. Would Love to Return as I believe my previous life was in Japan prior to being reincarnated!!!❤️🙏🏻❤️
And this is why a good koto is so expensive. But the sound is incredible. Thumbs way UP on this video!
I have nothing but respect for these people abd what they do ❤❤
Awe inspiring craftsmanship in all fields shown. But I can't get past the fact that someone would choose to have a bowl cut that bad. I've never seen one on a person alive in this day and age. Maybe he wears it in some weird kind of way to pay homage to the brushes?! Still, his degree of patience in his Art is nothing short of Godlike. But yeah, that bowl cut is ...Priceless.
Respect
Parabéns
Fascinating, although the English subtitles are sometimes incomprehensible!
I am 82, sit and am retired…watch KZread …kudos to you sir!
Very interesting design, beautifully constructed. May I ask what woods are you using?
Es impresionante la cantidad, y sobre todo la calidad del trabajo desarrollado por estos artistas. Muchos no tenemos ni la menor idea y por tanto no valoramos mucho de este arte.
DAS ist HANDwerk! Mein Respekt!
Real craftsmen
Konichiwa 😐Is it cherry or oak wood? Beautiful work. Very satisfying to watch! Arigato !
Very beautiful for artists. I need twelve piece but I can't buy brushes.
I attended ceramics classes in college, loved the work. Grateful, but don’t do at 82 yrs 9th.
匠心獨運❤
Bravo 👏👏👏👏🥰
I'd love to know what timber is used for the koto. These details are of great interest for other crafters.
日本の素晴らしい ✨伝統工芸✨ 👏👏👏 素晴らしい動画を ありがとう ございます (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡
The waythe Master in yellow handles his kiridashi shows his experience.
Mass production and economy of scale has 'deskilled' many special professions. Bring back the Wicker bottom chair repairer.
Дуже гарне відео молодці японці зуміли зберегти своє народне надбання і поєднати з сучасністю велика честь і повага ❤
сколько же в Японии мастеров ручного труда!
Fantastic ! So patient, And such fine detail. .. Is he chewing gum ?
Damn impressive. No wonder the price is high
Complimenti a quest'uomo. Se provassi io, sarei rinchiuso in manicomio al primo giorno di lavoro
Ces artisans sont magiques. Le savoir-faire, la précision du geste, la qualité de coupe des outils, c'est fabuleux. Deux de ces artisans, le fabricant de kotos et le fabricant de louches, ont plus de 80 ans ! Après une vie de labeur bien remplie, ces artisans ne mériteraient-ils pas une retraite ?
ب الميليام ياعزيزي الاثقان في اعز مواقفه سيروا اينما شئتم فانتم منصورين صناعة وابداع
Bagai mana kerajinan ini begitu dihargai dinegara anda, saya bisa melihat dari peralatan yang dimiliki, bukan uang yang sedikit untuk mendapatkannya atau memilikinya. Di negara saya Indonesia begitu melimpah bahan baku untuk kerajinan tetapi sulit mendapat penghargaan dan menjadi sumber penghasilan yang mencukupi
chiếc đàn dương cầm thật đẹp
A lot of the captions are on the screen for far too short a time and it really ruins otherwise great videos, please leave them on screen for a little more time and give us the chance to read them ,otherwise a great channel...
Eccellente
Voir cela de nos jours me réjouis, il est possible de garder des compétences artisanales qui malheureusement ont tendances a disparaitre chez nous.
Would be afraid to carry a Koto on an airplane due to the extreme dry air,
👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤
He look amazing for 81, if only Americans where the same at that age😂😅
Such pride in everything that they create with the spirit of god so few left in this beautiful world thank you for sharing your talents you inspire me to do better
My legs wouldn’t sit like yours, I’d get cramps.
Es una lástima que no haya jóvenes que quieran dedicar en esto.
РАБОТА... нет, не работа... Священнодействие японских Мастеров завораживает! Какая высочайшая вековая Культура... производства(? не то слово). Чистота стерильная. Инструментики рядочками. Мастера чистенькие. Неспешные. Невольно вспомнился замечательный ролик о работе индийских Ремесленников... При всём уважении к их нелёгкому труду... разница громадная. Хотя результат труда индийских мастеров очень впечатляет. Да там упор на количество... а тут Изделия Штучные! Типа Гварнери, Амати... Слава Мастерам! Спасибо за ролик!

Geniale Handwerker. Beschissene, miserable Übersetzung ins Deutsche!!!
I used to hunt when I was younger. At first it was a tradition and then it became somewhat sporting, later it became food and kept my freezer filled year round. In fact, our family kept a deep freeze outside so if people in the community needed food but didn’t have the funds. It was a very useful idea. Now I don’t live in an area that is that easy for me to get to a safe place to hunt or I would probably spend at least a little time out each year. Thinking back on all the hair that was straight up useless to us. Heck, I may collect my hair the next time I cut it… it’s usually a good 4-6 inches. Maybe try to make myself a good pin-stripping brush or something. Maybe use my wife’s, hers is thinner.
Merci pour ce documentaire où j’ai bien ri. Pas sur le contenu, intéressant et instructif. Pas sur les artisans, absolument admirables. Pas sur la technique de prise de vue parfaitement adaptée. Mais c’est la taduction automatique par Google : cela ne traduit pas, cela ne fait que remplacer un mot par le premier qu’il trouve ... ils en sont à l’IA (interprétation aléatoire) !
👌🏻
An absolute pleasure to watch you apply your gifts for fascinated non Japanese observers. Magnificent, old chap! Good Onya!

Le fer est chauffé à environ quoi ???
beautiful! love this. don't understand this "chosen by god" stuff. humans are just really good at things that they've done for decades...it cheapens the work and dedication i think to involve the supernatural.
What is the name of the chisel @4:39?
May someone who know about brush making answer me. It is made of horse hair i suggest ...
У мастера есть ученики? Иначе мастерство исчезнет вместе с мастером!
