Very fortunate to be born in a culture that provides teachers and gives children the desire to do their best. My theme song, as an American, has been this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6Kg3MdqqcrZlqw.html Then youtube came along!

So often you hear Japanese craftspersons saying "I've been doing this now for 20 years and am starting to feel I am getting better" I have been to Japan many times and the things I bring back most often are handcrafted items

Absolutely fascinating; each cut is done to perfection & then to carve these fine whisks - amazing. Hopefully, they will pass this age old wonderful skill to their children.

Yes, thank you, that was fascinating and their dedication to producing an excellent product is admirable.

I sometimes worry that I am a bit to fussy about preparing my coffee. But after watching this video about an implement for tea making, I realize I'm a savage. I have held and admired tea whisks many times, but it is eye-opening to see the tremendous amount of highly skilled hand work that goes into making a single one. It's inspiring to see Sachiko-san's innovations applied to this traditional craft.

Amazing how many uses Bamboo has in the hands of very skilled patient people, nice to see something not mechanized or computerized, Thanks.

I find such joy in the humble striving for excellence for even the simplest of things.

The amount of patience and delicacy required for this work is astounding. The beauty and quality of the work is very apparent. I wonder just how long it takes to make one whisk from start to finish after drying the bamboo?

I love the "Time- In" that hand-crafted items like this have. It is what I look for for many reasons: their spirit that's in the item, the personal touch present in every piece, the little inclusions each piece inevitably have. This is art and beauty and life....

I imagine hell a place where making bamboos tea whisks for eternity would be a high probability...

Bamboo is one of the worlds best resource. So versatile and renewable, readily available and fast growing. And is classified as a grass. What more could you ask for.

bamboo is awesome stuff. it grows in all kinds of places. i live in TN in the USA and it grows marvelously here. ive been using it for year for all kinds of my own crafts

The more I find out about Japanese culture the more I’m drawn to it. It’s that closeness to nature and respect and love for the wood as ancient traditional material that’s still used today in the same manner. It’s absolutely beautiful to see.

There's a bit of Japanese context here. They call it "houchou", which is the term for the knife you'd use in a kitchen. This is a bit unusual, as it's not being used for cooking but crafting. Direct translation is iffy for sure.

Spectacular craftsmanship.

I was rough cutting 1/2 cured bamboo to length with a rotary saw. The ease with which it cut gave me courage to converse with a pretty girl that was there. I made a joke and glanced to see if perhaps she would smile. The 20' bamboo shoot wedged and my hand was sucked into the blade. The two middle fingers split from the back side. There is a glitter of wisdom in this story. 🤔 She disappeared a week later. Came back 10 years later and died, alas, leaving me with 3 month-old twins. They are 8 now...And I still nap whenever I can!😁

I'm sure they were going slower for demonstration purposes, and they have an efficient system down. That being said, $50 still seems very under priced.

Wow, off the scale.

Wow!

How is it that Japan is on another level when it comes to arts and crafts and that it places so much importance and celebrity in those arts, yet the country's historicity is steeped in so much Imperial and feudal brutality towards its own people. Is it that its people have great honour and passion, and that is applied to everything they do? I rather believe that that is so.

your thinking is absolutely right, they are among the very few young people who dare to go down this path, and of course, if not give up, the passion will always be full and deserve the honour
