The dude lost his EYE, still doesn't wear safety glasses, and appears to have the "retirement plan" of: die at his work station and have someone pitch him into the furnace for cremation. That's not "passionate and hard-working" that's fanatical devotion. He's basically Samuel L. Jackson's loyal house slave character from Django Unchained. It's sad and embarrassing for our species.

Bangjja Yuki used to be pretty much standard dining plate and bowls in Korea. It actually makes food taste better(It actually does), it holds heat or cold better. It is the best possible dish option for Korean cuisine, and that's why even to this date some high end traditional Korean restaurants use them. Bangjja Yuki isn't just about color or material, but its hammering and forging method. It can't be made in factory by machine, but it needs to be manually hammered. If it is made in factory, without hammering process, then it is just called Yuki. There are several different branches of Bangjja Yuki in Korea, depending on the region, its method, process, ingredient ration. Bangjja Yuki is now no where near as common as it used to be, and several main reasons are 1. Bangjja Yuki requires some management. After washing it, it needs to be all wiped out dry. And if you want to maintain its bright golden color at its best, ash of tree or powdered tile is needed to wipe its surface. 2. It's expensive. As you can see from the video, this art requires a lot of labor force, a very sophisticated skill and process, quite high percentage of failure in manufacturing process. Also, melting it, forging it, hammering it all need to be done in red hot temperature, often resulting in decrease in artisan's vision. 3. Japanese Empire, when it occupied Korea for 35 years, was on constant war with everyone, and they needed metal for wars. So what did they do? "Hey, look! Koreans use a lot of metal in their kitchen." (Koreans used metal chopstick, metal spoon, cast iron rice pot, and many other metal made things including Bangjja Yuki) "Why don't we just take those things (by force), and use them in our weapon factories?" And that's what they did. So by the time Korea got liberated, Bangjja Yuki was almost entirely gone in most Korean households, due to confiscation. And most Korean people were at extreme poverty after liberation, so they couldn't afford to buy it again. But the art was not forgotten, and still there are many artisans, including the one in the video, still creating these beautiful things. The real authentic, hand hammered Bangjja Yuki is very expensive. But its charm...its hand hammered surface gives such a beautiful sensation to your finger when you touch. And its golden color, shining at all directions from the very slightly unsmooth surface created by countless hammerings, brightens the food. It's a very special pieces of art, and I hope you will be able to experience one day in person.

The argument this could not be made in factories is unequivocally untrue. They already are made in factories for much cheaper. All forging requires hammering, not just this. So your point that this can't be done makes little sense, power hammers and other forging processes exist that produce the exact same chemically identical product. The idea that this or any product cannot be made by modern industrial processes is just false because all of our current knowledge stems from things made by hand originally.

If there is one thing that they could modernize that will be the use of safety glasses.

The same technique is used in India as well, completely traditional. But prices are very low as compared to what these people are selling. In India the problem is artisans are not at all respected for their work. Korea and Japan respect their artisans' hardwork and that's why products are expensive.

The lathe and forge seems....unnecessary. They can create the same exact product with less waste and cut down on production time and man power waste by using powered lathes and forge. Tradition is one thing but using a manual bellow forge and manual lathe doesnt take away from HOW you heat or polish products. Manual hammering is definitely something machines cant really produce because the human aspect is so inconsistent and its one of the reason theres so much appeal for manually worked bronzeware but the heating and polishing elements can definitely be upgraded without saying youre "stray away from tradition". The art is in the shaping and molding of the bronzeware. Not the heating and polishing of it.

Metal working isn’t magic. It takes experience but this video goes over the top with mystery. And a simple set of goggles would have saved the eye. It’s amazing such crude methods can create something nice. But using a lathe would help. Romanticizing traditional methods hides the danger and injuries that hundreds have sustained. As a metal worker it’s not that hard to learn the color of the metal to know when to pound and when to reheat. Beautiful work though.
