Bonjour, je travaille a Santa Fe (USA) dans une galerie qui promeut l'art du Bambou Japonais. Cette video est de grande qualité et transmet avec authenticité la très grande beauté de cet artisanat et art ( il faudrait presque un nouveau mot qui unissent les deux). J'ai tout particulièrement apprécie l'accent mis le geste artisanal. Bien que je sois impliquée dans la vente d'objets considérés comme oeuvres d'art, mon intime conviction demeure que l'essence de l'art reside dans le geste et donc pour moi un object usuel réalisé avec authenticité et "mastery" de la technique est un object d'art. Merci pour avoir réalisé cette video. Continuez vos documentaires et témoignages ils sont utiles.

Ces interviews d'artisans japonais sont toujours très intéressantes et permettent de mieux comprendre la passion des japonais pour leur patrimoine culturel et artisanal. De ce point de vue, ce court reportage est une réussite. Merci. Un bémol : je trouve toujours très frustrant de ne pas rentrer dans le détail de la fabrication d'un objet.

Beautifully done!

I have been an avid fan of almost anything Japanese. I am saying "almost" because I know there's a lot more to be discovered about the Japanese people, cultures, and arts. I got started with the Japanese woodworking techniques that I think are the best in the world, the joinery that doesn't require nails or screws, and ancient structures that remain standing to this day. Then there' the discilines of the Japanese people, the respect towards man and other living creatures. It is a race that is like no other in this world. Not to mention, the advanced knowledge in mechanical and other technologies. My dream is that one day, I would get to visit Japan and see its beauty with my own eyes, be able to taste authentic Japanese food, and hopefully, meet some great local Japanese folks. グーグル翻訳を使用して、私は翻訳が正確であることを望みます。サイバーの世界で日本語を少し共有していただきありがとうございます...

I like the traditional tools he's using, and the newly developed tools he's invented for his craft. A summary video of all the tools would be a big undertaking but extremely interesting for the historians and cradtsmen among us. However, that would reveal "Trade Secrets" 🙄

Hey Nagadoo, thanks for your supporting message! It means a lot to me. Hope you'll enjoy your homemade crafts!

I love Japan, how the ultramodern and the old and traditional live side by side (even if I'm drawn to the traditional part of Japan). Dear Japan (and Japanese people), please stay Japanese ! Even if cultural exchange is interesting and sometimes even evolving (in a positive direction), I believe (as a westerner), we need to learn from Asia and in this specific context Japan, cause you as a nation and a culture are absolutely fantastic ! Greetings from a Swede in Sweden who spent three months in Japan, April-June 2019, and looking forward to come for another visit in the future.

Personnellement quand je regarde des documentaires je me note les artisans que je passe voir après quand je suis en vacances, en plus d'aller à la découverte des autres.
