You show disrespect by not eating it. What makes this a pure art form worth protecting, is that you consume it.

Rathian 619 No art can exist in a more pure and beautiful state as one destined to be visually, emotionally, and physically consumed by the observer. To deny it the moment of physical consumption is to deny a bird its wings.

I know the reason why there arent alot of craftmens.... IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEY REALIZED THEIR WORK IS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO EAT

Now this guy is what I call a "millenial". Keeping a great culture alive.

it's such a beautiful thing that he does his best to preserve the heritage and culture of candy sculpting. it's really a beautiful thing ;u;

he's incredible. the detail in such little time is breathtaking

Nice. What is the music used from 0:35 to 1:38 ? From 1:40, it's I Heart Huckabees (Movie Soundtrack) by Jon Brion, but i really like the part before. Anyone can help ? Thanks.

u make those in 5 minutes.... damn theyd probably take me weeks to make one as good as that if the candy never hardened...

When I was in Japan I remember seeing this shop! It was really cool cause you get to see him work so diligently!

The fact that he's one of the only ones left there still keeping this alive is just amazing and the fact that he's self taught is just so amazing

You are a real artist.....thank you for showing your craft ❤😊

This is so strange but it's amazing the effort put into the candy just makes you feel good eating it knowing it's quality and uniqueness if I ever go to Japan I'll surely try one of these pieces of art
