    I've been watching your videos for many years and I have to say, this may be my favorite. I love the documentary style. I love the access we get, like getting low to see the shape of the keyblock, or the wide shot of where all the brushes rest. I love that the camera moves through the shop a bit. Would love more videos like this! It gives me an even better sense of what it's like to be there and work there.

    Really good to see this in-depth style of documentary, step by meticulous step, seeing the colours build up to the final product. I did notice you omitted to mention the tilted workbench, falling away from the worker - very ergonomic, just like the old washboards in a pre-machine laundry.
    The chat with Suga-san was very interesting, Cameron-san asking very pertinent questions. More like this, please!

      Well ... there is good/bad news here. She was 'back' for a couple of months, but her second pregnancy has now progressed to the point where this work is no longer appropriate (she's due in May). What you saw there was actually ... her last day here. She plans to be back in the future when the child is old enough ...

    from a previous video I noticed Suga-san taking...I guess it was some kind of leaf and making the pressing brush...here I see her even cutting the paper for the prints. I had no idea so much of it was done from absolute scratch. There is so much that went into this that I had no idea. Each piece takes such expert craftsmanship. The moistening of the paper too...this has so many hidden and little known things that have to happen to produce such a quality product
