Hello, I’m Ken Kataoka. It has been a year since I last uploaded a video. To those of you who have been looking forward to my videos during this time, I sincerely apologize. Until now, all of my videos have been entirely filmed and edited by my brother. Unfortunately, he fell ill and was unable to handle filming or editing for quite some time. For me, entrusting the video production to anyone else was never an option, which resulted in keeping you all waiting for such a long time. I am truly sorry for this. Thankfully, my brother has now fully recovered, and we were able to create this video together once again. I would be so grateful if you could continue to support us in the future. Thank you so much for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy our upcoming work. - こんにちは、片岡謙です。 最後の動画を投稿してから、1 年が経ってしまいました。 もし、この間も私の動画を楽しみにしてくださっていた方がいらっしゃいましたら、申し訳ありませんでした。 これまで私の動画は、撮影も編集もすべて兄が担当してくれていました。しかし、兄がある病気を患ってしまい、撮影や編集が難しい状態が続いていました。私にとって、兄以外の人に動画制作をお願いするという選択肢はなく、その結果、長い間お待たせしてしまう形となりました。本当に申し訳ありませんでした。 幸いなことに、兄は無事に回復し、今回の動画を再び一緒に制作することができました。 引き続き私たちを応援していただけると嬉しいです。どうぞよろしくお願いします。
I discovered your videos at a time in my life when I was deeply depressed and borderline suicidal. These videos calmed my mind and helped me immensely. Thank you so much for making these videos.
I missed your videos so much. I was introduced to bespoke shoemaking through your channel. I am very happy that I found about this craft and I am glad that you are back😊
Yes! So glad to hear your brother is fully recovered, and you guys are back again! This really makes my day. Your videos are truly mesmerizing and always fun to watch. Thank you and welcome back brothers.
If I had enough money, I would definitely buy a pair of shoes from him. They are truly beautiful, and watching him work shows how incredibly high-quality they are.
Hello there .. I was wondering why you haven’t posted a video in some time .. don’t worry we totally understand ..and it’s good to hear your brother is doing much better now ..we understand with running a business like yours takes a lot of your time and to find the time to record and edit would be very time consuming which you probably don’t have time for … I always enjoy watching a master at work like yourself it’s very therapeutic … not to mention eye inspiring…and even better when they are pleasing to the eye like yourself 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Thank you so much for your kind message and understanding. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos. Balancing the making process and creating videos can be a challenge, but knowing that people find them therapeutic and inspiring keeps us motivated. I’ll do my best to share more soon. Thank you again for your kind words and support! 🙏🏻
Amazing craftsmanship! Those shoes are worth every moment that they took to make. It’s just too bad that they couldn’t be worn on our hands so that we could look at them closely all day! The Landis splitter is a hidden jewel!
Nice to watch as always. Craftsmanship, edit, light and music, all fine and enjoyable. The quality of your work is perceivable even from the other side of the globe through these mesmerizing videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I am so glad you are back. I do watch other channels where people are hand crafting shoes, but I have always considered your work, and your videos as the benchmark by which I judge all the others. I truly look forward to your future work being posted and glad to hear that your brother is back to good health. I wish you a very Happy Christmas!
Finally, a new video! Thank you for this! I've just been watching your old uploads on repeat. Hope all was well and good with you since your last upload.
Thank you for your kind words! It means so much to know you've been enjoying the older videos too. Things have been going well, and I’m excited to share more with you soon! 😊
I'm so happy you're back. And even happier your brother is better. I'm looking forward to more videos. And one day, I will have a pair of custom-made shoes from you!
Your work and careful attention to detail is mesmerizing and inspirational. Many thanks for sharing your skills with us and I am so glad to hear your brother is feeling healthier, family should always come first and your dedication to keeping the content topnotch by entrusting family is both impressive and heartwarming. Kudos, to you and yours!
Unashamedly love this song. I’m old enough to know it from the mouthwash commercial. But my kids know and love it too, because it was featured in a scene of the Super Mario Brothers movie (Donkey Kong kingdom to be exact). So the legend lives on!
Hello friend! I am glad to see the video about your wonderful, without exaggeration, jewelry work again! I also have a pair of handmade brogues, I had no idea it was such a painstaking job! You are an excellent master of your craft, just like your brother, and I think that you would not entrust your work to anyone else, so you treat your brother's work the same way! Greetings to him and good health to you all! Please tell me, if it's not a secret, how long does it take to make such a pair of shoes and how long have you been learning your skills, since when? And who did you study with? From some kind of master, or maybe this craft was inherited by you?
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you also appreciate handmade brogues; they truly require a lot of time and dedication. For this particular pair, it took about 80 hours, depending on where you start counting from. As for my training, I’ve learned from master craftsmen whom I deeply respect, and I’ve also spent a lot of time experimenting and learning on my own. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment and warm wishes. Greetings to you as well!
Давно Вас не было , я очень рад что Вы засняли новый ролик , . Фоновая музыка прекрасна очень , 👍 хотелось бы очень часто видеть вас и ваши новые ролики . Спасибо Вам ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Usta elinize sağlık ayakkabılar çok güzel oldu . Kardeşiniz hastalandığı için üzüldüm ancak iyileşmesine sevindim. Size ve kardeşinize sağlıklı ve mutlu günler dilerim .
Absolutely incredible work! Truly a master! Im about to start my 1st pair of dress boots and im so excited! What size needle and thread do you use? Your stitching always looks incredible!
Thank you for your compliment. Are you referring to the outsole stitching? I'm not exactly sure about the needle size, but the thread used is 16/4 Linen.

こんにちは、片岡謙です。
最後の動画を投稿してから、1 年が経ってしまいました。
もし、この間も私の動画を楽しみにしてくださっていた方がいらっしゃいましたら、申し訳ありませんでした。
これまで私の動画は、撮影も編集もすべて兄が担当してくれていました。しかし、兄がある病気を患ってしまい、撮影や編集が難しい状態が続いていました。私にとって、兄以外の人に動画制作をお願いするという選択肢はなく、その結果、長い間お待たせしてしまう形となりました。本当に申し訳ありませんでした。
幸いなことに、兄は無事に回復し、今回の動画を再び一緒に制作することができました。
引き続き私たちを応援していただけると嬉しいです。どうぞよろしくお願いします。
Yaaaayyyyy!!!! I fall asleep to these and watch to calm down. So soothing. :) glad you're back

おかえりなさい！お兄さんのこと、お2人とも大変な時期を乗り越えてまたこうして動画に出会えることがとてもありがたく嬉しいです。

Yes! So glad to hear your brother is fully recovered, and you guys are back again! This really makes my day. Your videos are truly mesmerizing and always fun to watch. Thank you and welcome back brothers.
初めて動画拝見しました。
作業の音からもひたむきに靴づくりに向き合われている様子が伝わってくる。
背景の音楽は実にマッチしている。。。
それにしても、こんな風にパーフォレーションの穴って開けられるんですね！
手作業なのに物凄く均等にして均一。
ヒールを作る作業とか、履いてしまえば傷がつくソールの作り具合とか、全ての工程がありきたりな言葉だけど美しい。そして無駄がなく洗練されている。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you and your brother for all the job you keep doing. I hope you’re both feeling good now. Much love from Almaty Kazakhstan.
We’re both doing well, thank you! Sending my gratitude back to you! 😊
If I had enough money, I would definitely buy a pair of shoes from him. They are truly beautiful, and watching him work shows how incredibly high-quality they are.
Thank you for your return, I'm glad your brother is better and you can continue to work together to give us a vision of your art.

I cant imagine needing a shoe this ornate, but it is amazing to see so many techniques on one pair of shoes.
*autocorrected to "show"
Always fascinated me the heritage made shoes have so many small nails in them.
新作動画待っていました！
動画制作、お兄様がされていたのですね。撮影・編集が素晴らしく、毎回見入ってました。これからも楽しみにしています！
いつか靴もオーダーしたい……！
