(You can view the English explanations by turning on the captions.)
Metal craft is a traditional craft that utilizes the properties of metal, such as its melting when heated and malleability that stretches thin when struck, to craft metal into various shapes and sizes. Major metal craft techniques include metal casting, hammer working, and engraving and chasing.
In Japan, this craft has developed rapidly since the arrival of Buddhism in the 6th century. It has been used to make a wide variety of items such as Buddhist statues, Buddhist altar fittings, furnishings, and ornaments. In this video, you will see how to make Kensui (tea ceremony utensil, a container for disposing of hot and cold water used to rinse tea bowls). Please enjoy the process of how a single thin copper sheet is beautifully transformed into a three-dimensional Kensui by the metal artisan’s craftsmanship.
Thank You So Much for Watching!

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot. Appreciate it very much.
Great job 👏🏼 We also make copper dishes and restore antique works.
What compound is formed due to reaction with sulfur? Thank you for sharing the video it was well done and thank you to the craftsman for your hardwork and dedication.
I understand now "getting your bang for your buck". Beautiful work
What for is used vessels like this one?
I’ve only just begun making copper bowls but would like to make more nuanced and subtle shapes like you here. Can you tell me about the stake you are using and where I could purchase it please? Thank you.
Amazing work.
Thank you.❤
very good work. greetings from germany
Very nice work. A beautiful vessel.
Beautiful 💮
cool!
Amazing! what abrasive are you using to polish? and to you finish it with wax?
whats that blue solution you use to descale the copper?
its called pickle
here they most likely use a 10-15% solution of sulfuric acid, hence why its blue, most people gently heat the acid for faster oxide removal
@@The_Le_Page_Workshopdo you know the thikness of the copper? and where i can find the tools fot this?
@@toolcastellanos
Again I’m just guessing based on my experience but usually 0.9-1.2 mm thick
As far as tools go its entirely region specific and largely second hand as only a few companies are still making tools at rather steep prices
I’m lucky enough to work at a university that has a huge collection
Hope this helps
@@The_Le_Page_Workshop can this be done with ordinary tools?
Look into body repair tools and also worrk with what you have, the important thing is to start
