Making $35,000 Bonsai Scissors
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2018
- When it comes to Japanese craftsmanship, knives often get all the glory. But in the city of Sakai, where traditional metalwork goes back centuries, there is one man who has built his legacy on something a little different. Master blacksmith Yasuhiro Hirakawa is the only traditional scissor maker left in Japan. Using ancient methods, Hirakawa’s legendary scissors can take four times longer to forge than a traditional knife. To buy one of his creations can set you back a hefty amount-his most expensive pair of scissors cost $35,000. For bonsai craftsmen like Masakazu Yoshikawa, however, it’s a small price to pay for the chance to work with the highest quality tools.
This Great Big Story video was inspired by Genesis.

Imagine dedicating 50 years of your life to one craft, and still having the drive and motivation to improve. That is absolutely amazing.
Jack Conrad Now the US strives for comfort and ease, whereas Japan strives for excellence and virtuosity.
Well I mean if you make that much money off it why not?
The result is, he makes the best scissors on the whole planet.
No one makes better scissors
Mukund Shivakumar i will dedicate my life to making the best scissor ever, with the hardest, strongest material, and the best heat conductor, and the best energy source, why? So i can make the side of the blade that cut heat up (and also really sharp) like a fucking light saber so when you cut, it will be clean as fuck, the scissors can be modified to be longer or shorter, or have different texture on the edge for multipurpose
@@halamadruuid2380 cool, follow your dreams and your passion
It's sad that he's the last one. Hopefully he has an apprentice. It would be terrible if yet another ancient skill like this died off.
agreed. thinking about the skill and just the beauty of it leaving a world that needs it most, makes me quite sad
@@jacc.00 Alas, nothing lasts forewer. Maybe one day we'll see a resurgence of such ancient arts...
@@simulterious9767 hopefully
He has a son!
Lots of blacksmiths make them. Maybe not too the extent he does. But the art will not die ❤
I feel like Japan is the only country where scissor crafter and bonsai master could be actual careers.
Nope. There are scissor makers all over the world, especially in Europe. The scissors shown in this video, although very nice, are ABSOLUTELY overpriced in every way. There are other “bespoke” handmade scissors out there for way less. 80$ to 1000$. There is a reason he will be going out of business soon.
@@AlexanderMason1 the only reason he will go out of business is of old age. I don’t think you realise how difficult it is to make scissors from absolute scratch which I doubt the europeans are able to do. If you watched the video you’d also realise that he also sells scissors that are around $1000. $80 scissors aren’t even worth mentioning, a bit insulting to compare.
@@capitalismnfreedom3084 you doubt Europeans can hand forge scissors? What kind of dummy are you exactly? You obviously don’t have a clue what you are talking about. I on the other hand do blacksmithing and forget more in a week than you will ever know when it comes the this topic of conversation.
@@AlexanderMason1
Don't compare those scissors
His scissors are unique and requires about half a year or more to create one pair.
Do u still think the quality can be same from the European ones
you'd be surprised

Good. Yet, reality is that regular scissors will do a fine job. $3.99
@@raybois have you tried it though? or have you even made bonsai in the first place?
@@vlusky_husky No, I don't have bonsai scissors. I'm 75 and a modelship maker. I have tools, specialized tools where each serves one single situation or purpose.. When I started, I had the same types of tools but very cheap and ordinary, only three or four that served for all the same purposes. When I discovered there were ultra specialized tools and one for each job, I bought them one by one at an inflated price 3 or 4 times higher than the cheap ones (but not 16,000 times the price). I also realized that the real reason I wanted them was hubris, and for the pride and pleasure of 'having them'. Other modelers were saying 'Wow, he's got all those tools...' and I felt I was a better modeler. I wasn't. I just needed more space on my desk to lay them out. Now, to me, scissors are scissors are scissors... If you want a better cut on your bonsai, buy a good quality one and sharpen it once in a while.
for $35,000, the scissors would want to be cutting edge

This displays what true craftsmanship is, he has been making scissors for 50 YEARS and now he only THINKS he is starting to reach his peak, even after fifty years in the business he is still trying to improve.
Sol Invictus The man is not alone. Even Hokusai said the following: "At seventy-three I learned a little about the real structure of animals, plants, birds, fishes and insects. Consequently when I am eighty I'll have made more progress. At ninety I'll have penetrated the mystery of things. At a hundred I shall have reached something marvellous, but when I am a hundred and ten everything I do, the smallest dot, will be alive."

One of the best things about Japanese culture, is to take pride in how well you can do your profession not simply to take pride in the profession itself.
wow you're so insightful
It's called "Kung Fu"
In China Kung Fu is actually the art in being the best at your skill. And if scissor making is your Kung Fu then so be it.

This is so pure! The way he hands over the scissors is heartwarming. He looks so proud of his work and is honored to be sharing his craft with others.
@Chu Mu wow very blunt
@Chu Mu define needlessly? you sound like a peasant, still a slave to his survival instincts.
the man has dedicated his life to perfecting his passion, money is not an object against a beautiful thing such as this.
Naw i think its japanese tradition to hand stuff over Such as a letter you bow and hold the letter with 2 hands and give it.
Has worked basically daily for half a century, still thinks he hasn't reached his peak yet, incredible dedication and humility.
lovely how in Japan every Craftsmanship is treated as an art, which of course it is.
I'm so sad that Bonsai Masters in China, who actually can do even better job, can't even imagine how much their works worth of if they are in Japan. Japan is known for their craftsmanship. People respect those masters and willing to pay tons of mony for it. China should learned so much from Japan with this.
The humbleness blows me away, "after 50 years I'm just starting to get good"
Form follows function
Tradition in Japan is overwhelmingly beautiful
@Ravi Sankar some art is useless. This kind of it looks pretty useful to me.

I like to picture the bonsai guy making his order for a new pair of scissors and then just sitting on a wooden stool for an entire year until the scissors are done, and then using them to cut one single branch from his bonsai tree.

It would be a wonderfully obscure short film
a year long? I'll call it a long film.

He did like five in video
World: Makes cheap scissors
Japan: makes one scissor for centuries perfecting it
In Japan they still make an even older style that are one piece of sprung metal instead of two pieces of metal that pivot.
it's not perfection, it's just smoke and mirrors. The buyer is setting the price because they will pay that price. Plenty of other scissors exist, still mostly Japanese brands that are also quite expensive, that will cut as well or better than those made by hand. Just like works of art, if you set the price and they are willing to pay it, then that is the price.

A normal pair of scissors is good enough for me, the one he makes is too expensive and I don’t exactly like like it’s not just one point at the tip of the scissors when it’s closed
There's a good chunk of selling hype and smoke in how japanese craft is presented to the west.
@@valebliz Having done some woodworking and blacksmithing as a hobby, and reading up on what the Japanese did in both those areas, I totally agree with you. The Japanese refuse to let go of old ways and romanticize them, and some in the west buy into it. E.g. Japanese refused to transition to blast furnaces for hundreds of years after they were available, so they spent hundreds of years doing a lot more labour intensive processes to work steel to produce blades and tools of equal (not better) quality to those coming out of other countries.
This man is the Ollivander of Bonsai.

Picasso is sketching at a park. A woman walks by, recognizes him, and begs for her portrait. Somehow, he agrees. A few minutes later, he hands her the sketch. She is elated, excited about how wonderfully it captures the very essence of her character, what beautiful work it is, and asks how much she owes him. “5000 francs, madam,” says Picasso. The woman is incredulous, outraged, and asks how that’s even possible given it only took him 5 minutes. Picasso looks up and, without missing a beat, says: “No, madam, it took me my whole life.”

IMO, the Japanese make a science out of everything. He probably had to watch his master 10 years before he was allowed to try to make a pair himself. Sure, they are masters, but often I think that the effort is not necessary for a pair of scissors, more just because of tradition.
Right? And I think that the Bonsai craftsman probably heard about the scissors from someone else, so while they are actually incredibly well made, he buys them because it’s part of the tradition. I’m sure the $35,000 scissors are amazingly well made, but I highly doubt you can’t find scissors that do just as well for maybe a 10th of the cost.
People don't need to buy $400,000 Rolls, a Volkswagen a tenth of its price will just do fine.
the japanese make an art out of everything. The germans make a science out of everything. They have norms for literally everything.
Was going to say in Japan they make a craft out of everything... craftsmanship is highly revered and one dedicates their life or family towards it be it a pair of scissors, bonsai , or Japanese Italian food...was amazed to see how much seriousness was placed in just the act of buying the pair of scissors... an hour talk... 1/2 a year to 1 year of deliberation/ research. Wow.
I think if you think this then I think you’re missing the point
