I come back to these videos again and again and each time my love and respect for Japanese craftsmanship grows. There's a nobility to it that is lost when age tested skills are replaced by reliance on modern machinery. Thank you for continuing to make these wonderful videos available, though I don't speak Japanese the message still comes through loud and clear. God bless.
Indeed. I listen to Japanese Koto, Shamisen, and flute music while I work with hand tools(almost exclusively now) in my wood shop. It keeps me centered and prevents me from rushing. I know when I'm getting tired or impatient. I'll always take a break when that occurs. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran Marine. I heal my soul from war in my shop. God bless and be well. Phil Yeager
i know what you mean,,,,,,,,so could i,,,,,,,,BUT i almost wonder, what's the point,,,,,,,,,you really can't learn anything the way the video is done.......it just leaves me scratching my head and somewhat frustrated..........i know i could do this kind of work but i need somebody to show me how and give me pointers and a few tricks. it's like they want to show you what they can do but keep it a secret at the same time..........not my cup of tea
WOW! Now that's impressive, and not a power tool in sight. Love how he sits on the floor! You can imagine the technique being used 1000 years ago. And you know those planes are like surgical instruments.
Eres un gran maestro. Con ésa delicadeza que trabajas y esa presición espectacular. lo más loable aquí es que ni usás maquinaria y muy poca lija. Realmente un artista GRACIAS por compartir tú arte. Felicitaciones.
I'd really like English subtitles as the craftsman at 4:40 clearly explains specifics of stock preparation. Or perhaps someone could recommend a book where BASIC Japanese style stock preparation is detailed?
It would be nice to have English translation for these vids so that non-Japanese audience would understand, but regardless, this man has amazing skills!
Yes i feel the same i respect all craftsman one day we may loose all these skilled craftman learn all you can so there work and skill is never forgoten so gen can learn and rember all these fine craftman
Using that ribbon instead of clamps to hold the parts of the drawer together,while the glue sets, is a clever trip. When you see the number of "clamped" drawers curing on the selves you can see that using clamps would be impractical in that shop.
What amazing skill with traditional hand tools, This is an education to watch and rekindles the passion in me for woodworking with blade and chisel. Thank you for posting!
He says, "I'm not an artist, and my products are for daily use. So, I cannot spend too long to finish them. I make them good enough to meet my own quality standard as a craftsman."
Wow. Just wow. Along with being absolutely awesome in general, this video is a shooting board epiphany for anyone who prefers to woodwork with hand tools.
こうゆう技術をどんどん映像で残すべき。もちろん日本だけではない。世界中の伝統工芸。「もう需要がない」と諦めず次世代の全く違うもののヒントになるかもしれない。
これだけの技術と作品をして
芸術品ではなく
一般の方の使用品と
さらりと言う江戸の粋さ。
カッコいいすね。

Choose Closed Caption, then choose Settings/Subtitles/English. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
I love watching this video. The craftsmanship and skill he embodies is a thing of beauty.
現代の産業のために、ブラジルでは芸術はあまりにも珍しいことですが、古い職人が死亡し、新しい職人が置き換えられていません！
私はオリエントの芸術に本当に感心しています！
estupendo trabajo, gran maestro felicidades
これもまた 大和魂
真似できるもんじゃねー真の職人さん凄すぎる
Wonderful craftsmanship
Speechless.. A true MASTER of the craft. Makes me look like with two left hands...
At 19:28 I almost fell on the floor. Wow! Thanks for posting.

That is cheating! Using secret karate power at 19:28 :) Great display of craftsmanship!
Ahah nice catch!
what a perfect work ?
Mistrzu chylę czoła
Piękno samo w swojej postaci
Dziękuję za film
very nice joinery! Amazing skills!!
芸術品ではなく、あくまでも商品。その言葉が微塵も言い訳に聞こえない程の技術をお持ちだからこそ言える一言。どんな分野でも本物って格好いいですね。図々しいけど一度で良いからお仕事を拝見したかったです。
I can't see they used DeWalt, Bosch or any power tools. This is pure skills.
This takes precision to a whole new level..
excelente y todo lo hace sin herramientas electricas... todo manual ... great
Настоящий мастер. Спасибо за видео.

Wonderful workmanship! Just one question. How much do you think that cabinet would cost?
billy19461 $2500-3800 That would be my guess. Not less than for sure.
great！
It’s amazing .
1:25 I love how the "thinking tongue" is not just a meme but an actual human reflex...
gran maestro en carpinteria se paso gracias
Wow awesome skills. Well done
The workpiece tends to bounce around a lot because he does not clamp it down.But even so his joints are absolute perfection like a razor.
amazinggg.....arigatooooooo
Bellezza allo stato puro! Dalla vecchia Italia, in Calabria, cuore della Magna Graecia, tutto il mio apprezzamento e la mia sincera gratitudine

Do you know what kind of plane he uses to cut the final miter for the blind dovetails?
Do you know what kind of plane he uses to cut the final miter for the blind dovetails?
Chad Smiley i think i already answered to it. I don't know what a plane or a miter is ,
Planeはカンナ、miterは付き合わせる４５度の面です。
Wow. Just wow. Along with being absolutely awesome in general, this video is a shooting board epiphany for anyone who prefers to woodwork with hand tools.
Amazing
Beautiful!
偶像先拜我喜歡你那把45度鉋削鉋刀
