Metal Craft, making "Kensui" with hammer working

(You can view the English explanations by turning on the captions.)
Metal craft is a traditional craft that utilizes the properties of metal, such as its melting when heated and malleability that stretches thin when struck, to craft metal into various shapes and sizes. Major metal craft techniques include metal casting, hammer working, and engraving and chasing.
In Japan, this craft has developed rapidly since the arrival of Buddhism in the 6th century. It has been used to make a wide variety of items such as Buddhist statues, Buddhist altar fittings, furnishings, and ornaments. In this video, you will see how to make Kensui (tea ceremony utensil, a container for disposing of hot and cold water used to rinse tea bowls). Please enjoy the process of how a single thin copper sheet is beautifully transformed into a three-dimensional Kensui by the metal artisan’s craftsmanship.
Thank You So Much for Watching!

its called pickle here they most likely use a 10-15% solution of sulfuric acid, hence why its blue, most people gently heat the acid for faster oxide removal

@@toolcastellanos Again I’m just guessing based on my experience but usually 0.9-1.2 mm thick As far as tools go its entirely region specific and largely second hand as only a few companies are still making tools at rather steep prices I’m lucky enough to work at a university that has a huge collection Hope this helps
