You have to stand back in awe, when you realize he is making an admirable effort to present this all in English for the whole world to see.
He is not just teaching his japanese friends, he is sharing the secrets with the world.
I found this video seven years after you posted it. Your demonstrations and explanations are very clear, and give me confidence that I can learn how to do this, too...especially with the safety tips you gave! Thank you very much.
One of those RUclips finds that makes you feel like you've discovered something very special. Few people take the time to explain the intricacies of their craft the way this man has. Such a pleasure to watch. The fact that I have a yard surrounded by bamboo is a bonus.
I wholeheartedly concur! Never got the chance to visit a Bamboo forest while in Japan, but I know I could sit there for hours, gathering the energy to create!

True!
To Jiro Yonezawa-sensei : Thank you for taking the trouble to read this instructions in English. Every trade has skills and techniques that are only learned after years of practice, and it is an honor to learn from you.
Right! And I also appreciate that English comments have been pronounced so clearly, correctly, and nicely, so I could understand every word and statement. I used to work with Japanese colleagues for a while and know how difficult communication in English could be.
I love bamboo, by the way! At that time, I took a few bamboo sticks out of Japan to show them to kinds, those who never saw them before. 🙂
One of the most incredible thing I've watched in 15 years on RUclips
I don't even know how to begin to thank you...for making this incredible and highly educational video. The wealth of knowledge you have is vast and your willingness to share with the world is very much appreciated.
This video was far more instructive than I've come to expect from RUclips. Most of the time, they're just demonstrations.
o yea? plz tell me how to find bamboo in my backyard in the UK like this bloke is doing...
@@bvbxiong5791 Step 1: Plant bamboo (preferably in a container, as it can be an invasive species)
Step 2: let grow (some species of bamboo can grow an inch a day)
Step 3: Bamboo
i loved the noiseless video without any annoying background music ...throughout scene ...and loved Japanese peoples and their culture...!
One of the best RUclips vedio that I ever saw .
12 years of bamboo love here in FLorida....
love watching this guy!
This is one the best tutorial videos i have watched. Kudos.
I am a camper and I needed a professional knife for outdoor multi works.
I had seen this knife on Almazan Knives and it looked attractive. The handle is a very smooth blade and is very sharp. I have been using this knife for two years and I still don't have any issues. The blade is the same sharp as the first day. Thanks to Almazan Knives, great buying.
Wow, this guy takes it several levels beyond what I thought I was going to learn about bamboo basket weaving. I was planning to learn how to make $5 baskets, but this guy is making $500 baskets. It's good stuff though. Glad I saw it.
Thank you so much, I got a lot of bamboo from my neighbors and now I can do something with it❤
How clean and organized your workshop looks, I love it! Thanks for sharing in English, very kind of you.
Feeling so fortunate that Jiro Yonezawa freely shared his mastery techniques. I feel like I started an apprenticeship with Jiro just by watching.
Richard Chen i feel i found out why i never used this medium...it is a very very knowledge intensive medium...and gives me a great appreciation of his work.
Best video I've ever saw about bamboo splitting! Thanks for sharing all this knowledge!
I feel honored to have been able to watch this! Thank you for taking the time to make, share and teach!
حرفي بارع وفنان ذواق . . شكرا
يا أستاذ على الدرس العملي لكل هواة الإبداع بالخيزران . . .
وليس كل أحد لديه هذه الموهبة الحكيمة في تبسيط أساسيات مهنة من المهن !
هذا الفيديو حقا هدية جميلة على اليوتيوب !
Years ...of patient practice, perfecting your techniques , a calm meditative and an invaluable share ! Hope we are able to achieve even a small percentage of what you taught ..t'would be a tribute to yourself .🙏
Only 6 minutes into this video and I've learned more than I did watching a bunch of other videos I've seen. So glad I've stumbled onto this video and can't wait to see what else you have.
No screaming, whining electrical power tools. No huge conveyor machines. Just the craftsman, his hand tools and his materials. I find the idea incredibly attractive. Perhaps a local elderly musician playing a flute in the yard, just outside.

Old way is always going to be best way, no power tools just the passed down the teaching of yesteryear 😑😑😑
It is indeed attractive. But making it with more precise machining is much more faster and efficient. And nowadays people value the result and cheaper price more than the process. It's not a bad thing, it's just true.
Your English is excellent as is the demonstration. Thank you very much.
This is such an excellent video. Thanks for so clearly explaining the techniques.
I think you are very well spoken and you are extremely talented. Thank you for the video!
Great instructions. Really clear, step by step, with explanations when needed. Excellent English. Top notch.
That was a priveledge to watch. Thank you.
I think you are most skilled at teaching. 👍👍
Thank You! What a pleasure it is to see a skilled Craftsman at work.
That was amazing! I did not know how much work and skill went into just preparing the bamboo! Then the incredible skill to make the strips! Thank you for sharing your process with us.
Thank-you for your superb artistry, craft, teaching.
Great video, and this chap has such a beautiful gentle voice. I would never imagine there was so much to processing bamboo. I have a much greater appreciation for the craft now. 😊
Very beautiful film, peaceful, patient and methodical, much like the artist. Thank you for sharing beautiful work.
This is beautiful, almost therapeutic
One of the best teachers I’ve ever seen.
Thank you. 🙏🏻
Jiro thankyou , your calm perfection is soothing to the soul! Again thankyou for sharing your art.

Thanks to your video I have successfully split my first piece of bamboo!! Thank you so much!
I was having a really hard time getting it right. (thought it was the same as cutting).
Using a natural material. Very skilled and fascinating. Thankyou.
great video. it reminded me of my grandpa who was very good at bamboo crafting.
Not only is this informative and interesting, it's calm and relaxing. Great content, keep up the good work.
Pure craftsmanship; just truly wonderful.
I love to see a master at work. Thank you for sharing and I will be very busy following your steps.
Yonezawa-sensei, thanks for the step by step instructions. I was walking with friends through the Forest and we came across an old bamboo oasis. I believe it was for harvesting the baby bamboo shoot’s. Some shoots were the size of elephant’s legs. Amazing place with even an old workers hut. The sounds in a bamboo forest are unique.
Thank you. This video is a treasure.
Thank you, Master Jiro Yonezawa, for your excellent art.
Infinite thanks for share your knowledge with us.
Greetings from Uruguay.
super! thanks! good video!
This is an absolutely wonderful video. The sound of the Bamboo splitting is just so soothing.
japan is on another planet ,all my respect
I love how he says it's for beginners. He's so cute.
Arigatoguzaimas fore this video... So meny bamboo at my counety but we no idea how to meking projek like you idea... You are true entaligen mine... You are Jepanis mine... Im Omar from Sabah Malaysia... Terima kasih..

This was by far the best video about working bamboo.this man just became my teacher
A true artist from a culture that is century ahead of us in this antique techniques. Wonderful work. The Art of Perfection.
Jose Arrue these practitioners are in every culture.
Really? Not for centuries like the oriental. specially the Japanese. Today there are great ones but not with the tools that they use that are not powered only manual. Regards
Great video! We have a lot of bamboo. Have to see what I can make. Thank you Mr. Yonezawa.
I am looking for some land to grow bamboo to use in combination with woodworking. This video helped me understand more about Bamboo. Thank you for making the video.
Thank for your wisdom .
i am making a bamboo fish/crab trap , You really helped my project not being a mess .
Thank you for all explanation and demonstration, both are clear and understandable for me . Thank you master.
You are an artisan to be looked up to, your skill with English language is only exceeded by your skill with bamboo. I live in the land of dingoes and currently have many species of clumping bamboo and have fallen in love with this plant. Four of the species are large timber bamboos and the rest smaller including Gracilis or weavers bamboo. I will put your video to good use, thank you very much
Thank you so much for this video. It's the best one I've seen about bamboo crafts. Very well explained
Fantastic video. I always wanted to know how to do this. Now I know but being able to repeat it is another thing. Thank you
Thank so much for sharing this video, it is very useful for our villagers who make bamboo for income
What amazing craftsmanship! I love this! Thank you Sir!
Thanks Jiro. Hawaii here. Am planning to make some baskets and some bundled drum sticks, using 7 pieces (each a bit smaller diameter than a choptick), bundled together with strong twine.
Thank you for taking the time to share your craft with us. It would have taken a great effort to give such a thorough explanation in a language which is not your native tongue. Your work is much appreciated.
What a treat. Thank you sir. I took judo as a boy and picked up on a couple of words, like ashi foot.
Thank you Jiro Yonezawa-sensei
Just found a treasure. Thank you for this great instruction. ありがとうございます
Very instructive. I am working my first bamboo project. Thank you.
It is really fantastic video. Step by step clear explanation. Thank you master
Excellent Tutorial / Excellent Teacher
This was an excellent video!
I had no idea bamboo was so carefully treated to make baskets!
This man is like a bamboo ninja. What a beautiful artist.
That's a heck of a lot of work. I will appreciate bamboo work lots more after watching this!
Dear Mr. Yonezawa...thank you for sharing your skills and for giving us a visual meditation on your ancient art. Very special!
Excellent Jiro - I needed Kebab sticks, but live 50km away from town - and have a good stand of bamboo - Thank you very much and it was a delight to meet you.
What a fantastic and thorough teaching of the project process from harvest to weaving! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Beautifully done. Thank you sharing your works and techniques with us. So peaceful and graceful.
I am not making baskets, but bamboo trim strips for my boat rails and bow stem. Just what I needed! Thank you Napuri Films. Thank you Yonezawa-San. I will learn about the local Thailand bamboo types and practice.
Excellent Instructional Documentary by a true Artisan. Thank-you for showing such a calm process. Very easily understood steps are explained entirely.
Most definitely a master of Bamboo Art work. Thank you much for the highly detailed instruction. My appreciation for Bamboo Art has increased greatly, now realizing just how much work is involved.
Great detail! Thank you for taking the time to teach....and all of the time to setup.
Wow. A tremendous amount of work goes into just preparing the bamboo. This was very informative. Thank you.
I like you show very much, Thank you for teaching me you best skill
love the show
Very nice - I liked the calm and deliberate details
thank you very much. You expertise is amazing. You are very kind to show this to us.
Pure art splitting bamboo... it's no easy as shown, I use to make bamboo bow and arrow when I was a kid.
There is plenty of bamboo growing round subdivsions in the U.S. and people are ususally happy if you come cut some. We need to be more into hand making things. He could be in any century that has metal working. How beautiful are these baskets and 100% compostable - although you would never let it be compost - you'd keep it forever.
What an excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! You are a very good teacher, so clear. It is good you made a video, so that others can profit from it. Well done!
Hi That was AMAZING!!!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS. I LOVED WATCHING!!!!!
One of the best how-to videos on RUclips for bamboo. Perfect clarity from camera angles at every step. Really a beautiful job in terms of how to film a tutorial. Excellent detail, and also concise. Artwork! 🏆🏅🏆 A master of his craft that is a teacher as well.
to yonezawa san and the team involved in making this documentary/instruction: THANK YOU very much!! this is really helpful
Fantastic, i love bamboo works, and i think it´s a great mind therapy. Unfortunatelly, although we have a lot fo bamboo species in Brazil, we don´t have artists like you, and instruments to do it.
All bamboo craft lovers, you will find this video very useful. Loved the patience & the careful work by the craftsman.
Excellent clear English. Thank you :)
This will actually help me for my bamboo project!
This man is truly an artisan. We don't seem to have enough true craftsmen/women nowadays. Absolutely beautiful.
Elwood Scott there's not many nowadays because it'll take him a week to make a basket. imagine trying to do baskets for a modern city? there's a reason machines are here.
You get what you pay for. I see beautiful fiber and basket weaving in local clubs in my area of the US. No one is willing to pay appropriately for them, however, so it remains a hobby and labor of love for craftsmen. In Japan people appreciate and WILL PAY FOR objects done in the time-consuming and painstaking traditional manner. Here in the US, it's just seen as a quirky hobby. Folks will pay you $2 for your basket. So why make, much less sell?
Quality vs quantity is definitely missing today. It's the difference between sipping estate wine vs boxed grocery store wine; some can tell the difference, some can't.
Elwood Scott blame the educationsl system churning out victimhood whiny lazy real racists whose grasp on reality doesnt exsist
Thank you for sharing this video about bamboo! More videos on how to weave would be great. You take your time to explain and show clearly what you are doing. You are a great teacher!
Thank you very much. I am amazed at all the work you have to put into the making of the bamboo strips by hand. I was interested in seeing if I could use the bamboo patch we have in mountains. Don’t think I can do all this! Beautiful basketry!!!
I have always been fascinated by how many things can be made from bamboo. It was particularly interesting to see how this prep is done. I have no local source for bamboo or I would likely try to learn something more about this craft. I can, however, make all of those tools myself because I am a blacksmith, so if I ever do find a source, I will be able to give it a go.
I started my trade as blacksmith but referred to welder later Now I started to work with bamboo _ i saved some clumps from the land behind my home and started to grow it. I dont have an anvil or any forging tools but Ill set to start making some of the basics to work in bamboo.
Thank you so very much for sharing your skills with us. Your work is amazing.
Artist,ry, not craftsmanship. Absolutely divine. Thanks for sharing.
