      Great production and insight on their processes. Make one on bonsai tools! Even one on biogold would be interesting =D

      Would definitely love to see more of these. Films could be done on a particular bonsai artist, or a look at a particular style of bonsai, for example. Even as a previous commenter mention, a film on tool making would be great. Would love to see 30 min. films too. 20 mins just didn't seem long enough.

    I love hearing the stories of Japanese artisans who are the descendants of Japanese artisans. In a world that's always changing, it's comforting to know that there are still people practicing and preserving ancestral knowledge from generations past.

    Very educational film on the work - and craftsmanship - that goes in to making Bonsai pots. I will no longer look at my 'pots' as *just* pots. Thank you for such an informative film.
    I'm returning to give time to the Bonsai I've had a number of years but had to plant in to containers due to other life commitments, just happened across your film and have now subscribed.

    脂の乗り切った常滑の盆栽作家の皆さんが、最高の技を披露されていて見ごたえがあります。私も少しですが鉢づくりを始めています。土の柔らかさを作業に適した状態にできる見込みもなく行き当たりばったりですので、到底皆さんの技を参考にするところまでは行きませんが、めざす方向を示していただきました。ありがとうございます。

    I loved this video. The Clay Masters are wonderful and I enjoyed listening to them explain their process. I'm amazed at the time you spent in your explanation. You clearly have a love of this subject and much respect for the Clay Masters. Thank you.

    What a beautiful video. We owe a lot to the those potters. And to those that came before them.

  • @BonsaiTalk
    @BonsaiTalk 5 лет назад +9

    The way this craftsmanship has been passed over by father to son, the dignity and respect for the material and the techniques is truly unique. In the west there used to be the same mindset, but not anymore. Work ethics and morale is always a result of a pristine product and tokoname is not exception. Great vid.

      I agree, I recently found out my whole family was filled with potters/brick layers till my father became a mechanic. Even though ive been doing it for over two years he never mentioned this to me once because he told me he had no respect for those sorts of craftsmanships.
