The way David assures Ayano-san that she’ll get overtime and she casually tells him she’ll leave early and they both move on shows some great boss-employee relationship. Wish my boss was this chill

The content of this entire channel is preservation of cultural treasures. Future anthropologists will be deeply indebted to you all.

I am not sure the content will be preserved over centuries and millenniums.

I hope all is safe and sound where you are.

OMG SO glad to hear from you....was worried about the earthquakes etc. So sorry for the loss of lives in Japan. Be safe.

I love how even after 30+ plus years, you can just see and feel Dave's love for the entire process of his craft. From papermaking to carving to printing and everything in-between. Thanks for documenting this and sharing it Dave.

Wow! I can't believe I was recommended your channel out of the blue. I'm an English teacher in Japan and I remember seeing you in a video in our textbook. Thank you for sharing these videos with us 😊

Two in a row we are getting blessed

I just want you to know David that I value what you do very much. You're a gem to me and I hope you know that alot of people like me love what you do.

i watch david’s videos as asmr, because he is such a friendly, comforting presence. in using them to sleep, i’ve become so interested in japanese history and wood block print art, i’m so glad he makes these videos so more people can discover this beautiful culture

What a lovely lady.

I Hope you and the rest of shop are doing very well

Fantastic! Seeing several people attempting the same process with wildly differing results was fascinating - over an hour disappeared in a flash, it seemed!

Yo this is wonderful! I had no idea this kind of video was being made, love to see these processes in action.

Blessed start to the new year, streams have been great but these arranged ones hit different. Hope all staff are safe and well with the current events!

Another thing that I always love about Dave is he always has that excitement of a kid on Christmas morning whenever he sees or participates in activities related to his passion for Woodblock printing. He really gives me the feeling that there will always be things to be admired and appreciated regardless of our age and the era we live in.

Lovely to watch! Glad you all had fun :3

Didn’t expect to watch this today, thank you so much!

Yay finally got another video

I love it. Learned a great deal. Thank you.

Bless your company and Japan right now.

This is a wonderful video!

What a ton of fun!!

super cool

This is so cool.

Oh, awesome! I have my own paper making equipment! Now, I’ll learn from your videos!

Why? Genuinely curious.

I loved watching this process. I do wish the captions were on all of the time. It was fascinating to hear when Ayano-San was speaking how her accent almost seemed to change. I haven’t been around the channel in a while so I don’t remember everyone’s backgrounds very well.

Happy New year!

Always a good day when Dave Bull uploads

Glad to see you must have power and internet and a safe place to post from. It seems the earthquake was not as bad in the Tokyo area. Stay safe and have a Happy New Year.

Happy New Years!

Really like when Dave speaks Japanese

Papermaking has always been interesting to me!

Ayano-san is the best!

Shall be an interesting watch :)

You guys should do a collaborative experience. Make your own paper and a printparty with that paper a bit later (a day? a few days? how long does that stuff take to dry)

They dont do printparty's anymore. They dont have the manpower and space to do those.

I was trying to use this as sleep aid, but this is too interesting. There's magic here.

Hope all is safe where you are, David.

I hope you guys are okay! I heard about the earthquake and possible tsunami

Glad to see you're all okay, was worried with all the earthquakes and tsunamis that suddenly hit Japan. Be safe yall!

Were you affected by the earthquake or tsunami.

I wonder if this is where www.youtube.com/@BaumgartnerRestoration gets his paper from. :)

Baumgartner has rolls of washi so it's machine made, possibly Japanese, although more likely Chinese or Thai made.

AMAZING VID! Who's the girl? She's fun and photogenic. She should have her own channel!

This might be a scheduled video that was set up to publish before recent events. Just fyi if anyone is concerned about David and the team. Still waiting for updates myself.

The earthquake was right over on the other side of the country; we _felt_ it here in Tokyo - the Mokuhankan building shook for a minute or so - but there are no serious effects at this long distance. Thanks for your concern ...
