  • Amezaiku is a traditional Japanese craft. Delicate sculptures, usually of animals, birds and fish, are molded out of a starchy syrup.
    The base of the artwork is a starchy syrup, which is heated to 90 degrees Celcius (almost 200 degrees Fahrenheit), and requires careful monitoring to ensure proper consistency. The mixture is extracted, then kneaded by hand. A small section is selected, and pinched into a spherical shape. This is done using the artists' bare hands, which is a skill in itself. The syrup is mounted on a stick, then formed into a shape by constant pulling and clipping. The final shape is painted with food dye, using delicate brushes.
    Amezaiku is said to have started during the Heian period in the 8th century, when it was used to make offerings for temples in Kyoto. It became a street performance in the 17th -19th century during the Edo period, as its base starch ingredient Mizumae or "water candy" became more popular.
    We visited Asakusa Amezaiku Ameshin, a shop in the Taito area of Tokyo.

      @@nitro4232 i'm not invalidating anyone, but yes, we devote ourselves in our own way. But i think it's not the same for the Japanese people. They take so much pride in their work. I think that's because of their culture. Even in the slightest error, they will blame themselves (some may commit seppuku). I'm not Japanese but I'm from an Asian country and the expectancy of Asian parents and the pressure of society on our shoulders deeply affects us, especially in doing things; because society will always judge us and gossip about us.
