I come back to these videos again and again and each time my love and respect for Japanese craftsmanship grows. There's a nobility to it that is lost when age tested skills are replaced by reliance on modern machinery. Thank you for continuing to make these wonderful videos available, though I don't speak Japanese the message still comes through loud and clear. God bless.
Indeed. I listen to Japanese Koto, Shamisen, and flute music while I work with hand tools(almost exclusively now) in my wood shop. It keeps me centered and prevents me from rushing. I know when I'm getting tired or impatient. I'll always take a break when that occurs. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran Marine. I heal my soul from war in my shop. God bless and be well. Phil Yeager
He says, "I'm not an artist, and my products are for daily use. So, I cannot spend too long to finish them. I make them good enough to meet my own quality standard as a craftsman."
I'd really like English subtitles as the craftsman at 4:40 clearly explains specifics of stock preparation. Or perhaps someone could recommend a book where BASIC Japanese style stock preparation is detailed?
Eres un gran maestro. Con ésa delicadeza que trabajas y esa presición espectacular. lo más loable aquí es que ni usás maquinaria y muy poca lija. Realmente un artista GRACIAS por compartir tú arte. Felicitaciones.
Using that ribbon instead of clamps to hold the parts of the drawer together,while the glue sets, is a clever trip. When you see the number of "clamped" drawers curing on the selves you can see that using clamps would be impractical in that shop.
WOW! Now that's impressive, and not a power tool in sight. Love how he sits on the floor! You can imagine the technique being used 1000 years ago. And you know those planes are like surgical instruments.
i know what you mean,,,,,,,,so could i,,,,,,,,BUT i almost wonder, what's the point,,,,,,,,,you really can't learn anything the way the video is done.......it just leaves me scratching my head and somewhat frustrated..........i know i could do this kind of work but i need somebody to show me how and give me pointers and a few tricks. it's like they want to show you what they can do but keep it a secret at the same time..........not my cup of tea
It would be nice to have English translation for these vids so that non-Japanese audience would understand, but regardless, this man has amazing skills!
Yes i feel the same i respect all craftsman one day we may loose all these skilled craftman learn all you can so there work and skill is never forgoten so gen can learn and rember all these fine craftman
Lindo trabalho . Atualmente não se vê mais isso onde o talento , esforço e capricho eram fundamentais. Hoje com máquinas modernas , fabricas e computadores o talento , esforço e amor pela profissão não é mais necessário.
What amazing skill with traditional hand tools, This is an education to watch and rekindles the passion in me for woodworking with blade and chisel. Thank you for posting!
Mind the sharpness of his tools! The wood he is working with is kiri (桐, キリ) of the paulownia genus, it is very soft and calls for Japanese sharp chisels and plane blades.
the Japanese tools and technique are wonderful but still feel that they could learn something from western benches, watching him do some of that work and the wood moving around, to take nothing away from the Japanese we do now thing or two in the west

こうゆう技術をどんどん映像で残すべき。もちろん日本だけではない。世界中の伝統工芸。「もう需要がない」と諦めず次世代の全く違うもののヒントになるかもしれない。
これだけの技術と作品をして
芸術品ではなく
一般の方の使用品と
さらりと言う江戸の粋さ。
カッコいいすね。
見入っちゃったよ
いつまでもこういう唯一無二の技術が続いて欲しいな
出来上がる工程すべてが美しい...

Gran Maestro !
Felicitaciones !!!!!

Choose Closed Caption, then choose Settings/Subtitles/English. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
Gracias por enseñarnos este bello video 😊😊
なんとも素晴らしい技術だ。
とても素晴らしい技術ですね。

これは芸術作品で、日本の誇りです。師匠、もっと誇りを持ってください。（NYより）
I can't see they used DeWalt, Bosch or any power tools. This is pure skills.
Watching this amazing craftsman at play is my new relaxation therapy.
Using that ribbon instead of clamps to hold the parts of the drawer together,while the glue sets, is a clever trip. When you see the number of "clamped" drawers curing on the selves you can see that using clamps would be impractical in that shop.
I was a well skilled woodworker up till I watched this...I am humbled.
かっこえぇ・・・。
At 19:28 I almost fell on the floor. Wow! Thanks for posting.
芸術品ではなく、あくまでも商品。その言葉が微塵も言い訳に聞こえない程の技術をお持ちだからこそ言える一言。どんな分野でも本物って格好いいですね。図々しいけど一度で良いからお仕事を拝見したかったです。
現代の産業のために、ブラジルでは芸術はあまりにも珍しいことですが、古い職人が死亡し、新しい職人が置き換えられていません！
私はオリエントの芸術に本当に感心しています！

Приятно видеть работу мастера.
この傑作を見てうれしいです。
Большое спасибо за ваш труд.
どうもありがとうございました。
Excellent craftmanship really! I cannot understand! This side of Japanese culture is out of... many thnaks for this.
Thank you for this wonderful, Spiritual video. God Bless.
I could watch this forever

That is cheating! Using secret karate power at 19:28 :) Great display of craftsmanship!
Ahah nice catch!

Wonderful workmanship! Just one question. How much do you think that cabinet would cost?
billy19461 $2500-3800 That would be my guess. Not less than for sure.
Learned two important lessons here, 1) I need to improve my sharpening even more, 2) need to learn Japanese!
Simply beautiful and masterfully done!
言葉遣いが江戸っ子っぽくて好き
偶像先拜我喜歡你那把45度鉋削鉋刀
I appreciate their respect for tradition and quality ... still living in a world of profit
Fantastico
昔はこう云う職人が沢山いたものですが
その殆どが国内外の大量生産の既製品にやられて姿を消してしまいました。
しかしコメント欄を見て分かる通り
今そういった様式をを編み出した西洋人から再評価されているという事実。
何とも皮肉なものですね。
Lindo trabalho . Atualmente não se vê mais isso onde o talento , esforço e capricho eram fundamentais. Hoje com máquinas modernas , fabricas e computadores o talento , esforço e amor pela profissão não é mais necessário.
восхищаюсь !!!!
天才

やっぱり日本職人世界一です
Do you know what kind of plane he uses to cut the final miter for the blind dovetails?
Do you know what kind of plane he uses to cut the final miter for the blind dovetails?
Chad Smiley i think i already answered to it. I don't know what a plane or a miter is ,
Planeはカンナ、miterは付き合わせる４５度の面です。
awesome what an enjoyable experience it is to watch such craftsmanship
Que belleza maestro, mis respetos para usted.
Until I saw this video I didn't know what is real quality. Thank's a lot !!!
これもまた 大和魂
вот это мастер!! Супер!!!
Very good. Excellent.
The workpiece tends to bounce around a lot because he does not clamp it down.But even so his joints are absolute perfection like a razor.
what a great craftman who inspires humbleness
Prekrasno!
I wish i can learn like this i really loved handcraft and small thing like this
What amazing skill with traditional hand tools, This is an education to watch and rekindles the passion in me for woodworking with blade and chisel. Thank you for posting!
Simplemente Bravo !!! magnifico , this video is clearly not funded by Black & Decker

This is going to end up being the most expensive cupboard ever made.
Wow Beautiful...
And so...the craftsman is only as good as his tools. Those tools are razor sharp!
Impressive!
Amazing!
Respect From ALGERIA
