You know, even when this has a priceless traditional value to be maintained and every piece made has a unique spirit in it, you have to admire how mechanical engineers were able to replicate all these movements into bolts, gears and pins, and now you have machines that can make the most complicated brading endless yards long in seconds.
You know. It is a wonder that machinery can be made as such to create patterns like these. Though, i do hope that machines will not erase the art of human-made craft entirely,
I love traditional Japanese art and design. And the Japanese traditional attention to perfection, detail, and quality is especially needed in this world. Thank you for posting this and sharing it with the world!👍😊
Thank you for this. These skills are an expression of the human passion for applying themselves to work that is essentially creative. This is something more than the applied skills of use. This is the practice of preserving what is believed to be important. Every thread binds us closer together. Thank you for this.
Bless your heart for your patience. If not for people like you these old crafts by hand wouldn't exist anymore. It's very relaxing to watch even though your working so intensively.
I really need to see more of this guys talents, and feel he has a plethora of knowledge that many could learn from including myself. I wish for a more in depth tutorial from his works. I find him fascinating!
Pasión con voluntad y deseo en el desarrollo de este delicadísimo y bello arte que provee de mucha paz al alma, al corazón y permite una actividad mental constante, mejorando cada dia la perfección en cada una de las piezas creada 🌺🙏
Each one of those braiding tools requires a different set of movements and procedures. He handles them all with such proficiency, I'm seriously impressed.
Wow it's so cool I want to experience that someday. Good thing the movie Kimi no Na wa showed this craft because of it many people including me got interested.
Doing a braid upwards like that instead of downwards through a hole is really smart. Ive made these braids before and this guy is FLYING. So fast and the tension and angles are perfect. I literally cannot believe i thought i was pretty fast.
Eh... if one day we can’t run machines we’ll starve. Like 6 months later 10% of us will be left so let’s just hope this guy is one of the ones who made it.
@@colwem We're lazy, not stupid. If all the machines suddenly became defunct for some reason, humanity would continue. We're resourceful and creative when need be. This man is testimony to the fact.
Katherine Uribe yes we would certainly survive as a species. But the only way we are supporting 8 billion people is with industrial agriculture. If all the machines that produce fertilizer and herbicide and pesticide and ship that stuff and the machines that do irrigation and planting and spraying and harvesting and then shipping the food around the world. If they were to suddenly stop... like 90% of us starve within the year. And of those that survive almost all of them will be farmers and especially subsistence farmers. Not skilled craftsmen or any of us city people.

Reception by Jincheng Zhang EDIT: JK, dunno the original title or artist. Jincheng Zhang is apparently just a guy that manipulated shazam into saying a bunch of royalty free music is his, but you can look that up if you just want to listen to the audio.
He reminds me of my mother... she couldn't teach me tatting (a kind of Italian lace-making) because she couldn't explain what she was doing and she couldn't slow her hands slow enough for me to understand what she was doing. I had to teach myself after finding a good video on the craft. I'm a decent enough tatter but I'll never be up to her standards. I follow patterns.
I love this video, but I have some mild criticism bring up. It's a shame that we can't hear the craftsman describing (through subtitles) how the craft is carried out. The piano music is nice and all, but I can't help but I kind of wanted to hear his voice. Also, on a more practical level, if his voice is audible, that means a kind Japanese speaker might be able to provide translation, and then we'd have a lot more details to work with. Just something to think about. I really enjoyed the video otherwise.
when you've a WHOLE lot of time... oh, wait, now is stay home quarantine time & US parents are looking for things to do for their kids! ;) OK, but while it's amazing he has this knowledge & I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful attention to detail, I feel this type of repetitive task is better suited to machines. I mean once human has created the knowledge, then program some machines to do the the repeat, repeat, repeat part!
Alex DS I went to an old tractor show out here in flyover country and one of the exhibitors had a late 19th century machine that does what this guy does. It could be cranked by hand but it was fitted to a small motor.
I’d be interested to hear/read a commentary of his process. It looks really interesting, but I feel I’m only getting a fraction of his mastery and the skill he has to share. Would love to rewatch with the original audio, or some subtitles! :)
If you're interested and assuming it is viable, I would much rather hear the original sound than the desperately soulless 'music' accompanying this video. Canned laughter might even be better. Great video. Four and one half stars. Edit: Exception: The first piece.
I wished they just teach us all the different ways of kumihimo braids on youtube rather than keeping it a secret. I do the 7 strand to make rope for rock sling
Amazing! But braiding is now being done by machines yet the Japanese are still braiding by hand. Impressive. Am just concerned at the impact this has on his knees, knelt like that all day everyday.
Apprentice: When do I get to make a cord? Master: First you'll spend the next 20 years learning how to make the equipment. Then another 20 learning how to make the thread. If your still alive then you get to spend the next 20 learning how to make the cords......... From this first book.

@@shiftyeye5061 You don't sound dumb, you are dumb, as fuck.
I’ve own a handmade silk Haori himo for some years and now my appreciation for this kind of craftsmanship is even greater.
I'm glad you liked it!

Our pleasure!
I just hope there's young people interested in this beutiful art, so this craft keeps getting passed on to the next generation
I greatly appreciate it.

Well, You're so welcome! I greatly appreciate it!!
It's always a humbling experience to witness a master at his craft. I've wanted to see a braiding master in action. This was extraordinary. Thank you.
you're welcome
Bless your heart for your patience. If not for people like you these old crafts by hand wouldn't exist anymore. It's very relaxing to watch even though your working so intensively.

My head would completely explode. Just incredible!!
Things like this make me wish I was born in Japan, just to apprentice under such a master of art. Simply beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I didn’t know braiding is such a complex art... Kudos to the Japanese

I pray this rope making tradition never ever dies……Really!!!
I appreciate it very much

Simply extremely extraordinarily beautiful
That was nice to watch. Mister you are a magnificent human being.
Doing a braid upwards like that instead of downwards through a hole is really smart. Ive made these braids before and this guy is FLYING. So fast and the tension and angles are perfect. I literally cannot believe i thought i was pretty fast.
I'm glad you liked it!
If one day we are unable to run machines for any number of reasons, it’s people like him who will carry the civilisation forward. Simply awesome
WOW, Thank you very much!

Beautiful and amazing technique .

My hobby is making something similar. I'd love to do that as a job
That'd be great, Keep it up!
Does anyone know the name of the music the video starts with? I really like the flute.
Reception by Jincheng Zhang
EDIT: JK, dunno the original title or artist. Jincheng Zhang is apparently just a guy that manipulated shazam into saying a bunch of royalty free music is his, but you can look that up if you just want to listen to the audio.
Congratulation
Is the original video available somewhere? I'd love to see it at normal speed, with audio, and without the looping music.
here you go: th-cam.com/video/jUko1p08juY/w-d-xo.html
So the tassel at the end has a "weave".......who knew? @10:51
Actually I assumed braided cords were made by machine, I am impressed !

You can buy kits to make these yourself. Very relaxing :)
English subtitles please!!

Whats the title of the starting music
Wow, before I wouldn’t have known where to even begin making cordage and I still don’t think I could do it to save my life
BEAUTIFUL! But,must get a bit MONOTONOUS after a while.
I wonder how him doing that all day affects his spatial awareness.
Great thought! I hope you are in behavior sciences, or cognitive psychology, because this would be a great topic for an article. :)
If there is an article published on this, I'd love to read it! :)
What's the name of the music at the "Thanks for Watching" part of the video at the end?

Did anyone else get interested in this from Your Name?
I'm sorry if this isnt the thing in my name it just looks similar
And for our next video, how to tie your laces.

I think this guy is really a spider :)
yes he was :)
An old guy making braided chords the hardest and most difficult way that few can afford does not a master make.
Next up: master janitor uses 1000 year old technique of poop removal. Takes 100 years to properly clean toilet.
Let's see you do it then, you fucking clown.
Japanese people are so tecnologically advanced and so traditional they use an Ark reactor to knit. 😂 (7:40)
LOL...Good Point!!!

Thank god for the steam engine!
Why are these videos played in fast forward???
MY BAD...
This would require a lot of patience.
Your Name anyone?
Something as banal as twisting strings together, the Japanese will have a way to do it better than you.
Not sure about better, but a more dignified and complex way that inspires beauty, I would say yes.
Amazing! But braiding is now being done by machines yet the Japanese are still braiding by hand. Impressive. Am just concerned at the impact this has on his knees, knelt like that all day everyday.

The music is annoying imho
so sorry about that!

All that for a shoelace.
