What I love is that the videos are not about him and a personality figure... you rarely see his face and it's not about him... its about the workmanship and the beauty of the timber and the piece! Respect and love his humilty. True master craftsman!

I love his craftsmanship as well, but I see that as him taking pride in his work, not as humility. If he was humble, i.e., if he thought of humiliation as a virtue, he would just do a half ass'd job because he wouldn't want to be excessively impressive. Being humble, humility, and humiliation are not virtuous.

@@dougpridgen9682 humble and humiliation are not the same thing in spite of sharing a root word. His videos are humble, and humility is a virtue in an overwhelming number of philosophical flavors (some religious too if you'd prefer those separated). His craftsmanship is incredible and yet he doesn't plaster his face all over everything or incessantly brag in the form of advice about how he got such a great fit on his joinery, the focus is on the work and not on himself or his expertise. More accurately that should also be attributed to Chie (video work/editing).

Poetry comes in many forms. Love the dovetails!

Beautiful as always. Those sliding dovetail breadboards ends on the shelves just kill me - it's such a perfect touch.

Stunning as always! Love to see the love and passion in your work!!!!!

I absolutely loved the back panels being "tongue & groove" in design, reminds me of furniture my uncle owned years and years ago. Awesome craftsmanship.

I wish I owned every piece of furniture I’ve seen you make. Your creations are masterful.

Absolutely phenomenal. My favorite out of all the things you've made so far.

Another beautiful piece!

I can't put into words how beautiful this is. Thank you!!!

Love how you show us the birth stories of your creations through these videos! It's always a joy to watch them. Thank you!

Yet another beautiful and inspiring video from your workshop. I look forward to every one!

Incredible work as usual. Thank you so much for taking the extra time to film and produce these videos. They are really inspiring.

Amazing! What a craftsman. Even the dog is patient, admiring the craftsman at work! Great to see that furniture is still made this way. A true art.

Every time I get the pleasure of viewing. Thank you!

Every time you create something new I think it’s my favourite piece, then you make something better. This is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.

I'm just blown away. This is incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely stunning work! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this beautiful and peaceful moment. Arigato.

Magnificent - and those are absolutely the most beautifully fitting dovetails that I have ever seen! Your videos are the best - thank you for sharing your work!

those are by far the coolest dovetails I have ever seen. what a beautiful piece!

It is so calming to see you making masterpieces.

thanks for the descriptions with the wood and finish. beautiful work and i love the film making.

The level of excitement I get when I see a new Ishitani video!!! Excellent! Beautiful craftsmanship as always!

once again, stunning. love the peacefulness of your vids. Thanks!

Gidday Shiro! Natsuki, you nearly bring tears to my eyes with your work - 100% accuracy and quality. Fantastic

Absolutely beautiful work once again. Thanks from Australia!

I'm a long-time Ishitani fanboy. This guy is so good it hurts. I do a lot of the techniques he does (I've made sliding-door cabinets) but never as good as this. Oh to be this skilled

Every time I watch one of your build videos I am left in awe of the craft. Thank you for sharing.

Ah, so happy to see a new video! Excellent work.

Amazing work, as always. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of art.

Turned out wonderfully, thanks for showing us.

The video quality, the craftsmanship, the cabinet ...... sublime. Thank you.

This guy is an artist. I truly admire his patience and his skills in making this piece. Continue making and honing your skills. All the best!!!

Simply beautiful. Thank you

My God! What a beautiful thing you created ! Those shelves!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos showing your creative genius and magnificent woodworking skills.

Wow! Beautiful craftsmanship. Great work!

I have a stressfull job and everytime I need to calm down I watch one of your videos

A pleasure to watch, thank you!

It’s all so brilliant! Thank you so very much!

Absolutely amazing! Thanks from Germany.

All of the machinery sets you apart from the old craftsmen of Japan, but the finished work brings you right back into the fold. Inspirational and exceptional.

Your workpieces are beyond beauty, they are pure Zen!

Beautiful! It’s such a beautiful piece of art! Awesome!

What a wonderful piece of craftsmanship

This explains why you haven't put out a video in quite some time.this build also made me realize how much I enjoy your videos and watching masterpieces come alive from blocks of wood. I wish I had 1/2 the skill you have:] even if this video was 3 hours long I would still watch it start-finish. I love the sliding doors. They are awesome.i can't wait to see what you create next. And if it's not until after the holidays and New Year ? Then ill say happy holidays and happy New Year in advance🍻 & thanks for inspiring!🍻👍

I find watching Ishitani as being one of the most therapeutic things I can do.

Certainly well worth the wait, stunningly gorgeous piece and craftsmanship. I click the LIKE button before I start the video!!!

I really like your videos because you show beautiful techniques to which one can actually relate and learn from. Most other videos from Japan show only Edo Sashimono or Miyadaiku which are almost impossible for most hobbyist, no matter the level, and many Western woodworkers either show contraptions to achieve something without actually studying carpentry or try to show off they can make something "only with hand tools". Your work is no nonsense, with machines where machines make sense and hand finish where that makes sense. I learned a lot of little things from you. Thank you!

So brilliant! Youre inspirational! :) Cant wait for another new video

Always pleased by your whole working progress~ thanks

Another awesome job 👍

I have nothing but respect for your work and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing

Simply Magnificent ! Always love watching you in your shop - what a spectacular place to live and work - joinery like this does not get any better.

Wow! Incredible skill and wonderful furniture all shot beautifully to make an amazing video. Great job and thanks for sharing!

What a pleasure it is to watch the skill, careful accuracy, attention to detail by a passionate and talented craftsman within such a well made video production. May ISHITANI FURNITURE continue!

I'm your fan, I admired every single wood work you did. I'm french (I live at Lyon) and your work is famous even here.

Your videos are very inspiring, and therapeutic as well. Amazing work great job!

amazing design, i love the contrast that all the end-grain provides in the piece.

What a beautiful piece. Great job! You are awesome!

This whole production is a beautiful piece of art. Skilled craftsmanship. Cinematography. Editing. Scoring. Lighting. No talking. Love every minute.

Watch your work is an inspiration. Give a big hug in Shiro. He is a great quality inspector.

The attention to detail. The back panels. Just outstanding. I also love the use of music near the end instead of putting in music all the way through which can detract from the video.

Another awesome piece of furniture and the perfect ending to this vid. Taking the pup for a walk....

Both video and woodwork are simply amazing! Already looking forward to the next one :)

I so wish you don't stop making these videos you are my inspiration to this craft I keep on learning from you every time I am washing you doing you art. I thank you.

The serenity you create in the craft is astounding! Amazing camera work too!
