    "Master cannot be beat. I am a professional craftsman."
    That is truly an admirable mindset. Proud enough to accept skill and accomplishments, humble enough to admit and accept that you still have things to learn. I wish more of us in the west would adopt this mindset.

      So they stick some twigs into prefab slots they haven't even made themself, and glue on some paper and suddenly they are a "artisan" and some sort of genius? lmao... the inflated ego is unreal. Craftsman would be someone who painted skilled original art and did carvings into the umbrella. This person is an assembly worker.

      Have you ever folded paper, let alone for a professional project? The slightest angle off ruins everything. Using materials with even just a slight imbalance ruins everything. He acts as both the assembly and quality control. You're acting like they're 3D printing the bamboo fam, no.
      As for "genius"? No. No one's claiming that. But the skill needed to assemble paper and glue perfectly on the first try... go make some envelopes and tell us how well that goes, let alone a multimedia project that people are going to bump and reuse and be judged for.

      We all value some old craftsmanships and art styles that are long gone or close to extinct, but since there isn't a high demand for them, there's nothing we can do to keep them alive, because wether we like it or not, even if someone masters a certain art (which takes a lot of time) if that person isn't in a position to economicaly sustain himself, wether through his craft or something else while still having time for his craft, that person will eventually drop it for one of those 2 reasons.

    This isn't a "oh the old ways are dying" story. This is a "I want to do this, I want to be this, so I became this" story. I like this narrative I feel like these traditional craft videos often obsess about how they're the ONLY one left and there's NO ONE who will ever do this again....not true!

    • @draguta8995
      @draguta8995 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The reason for the latter is because very few young folk are becoming apprentices to these ancient crafts. Without apprentices soon, the professional craftspeople will not have enough time to pass down their knowledge and skills, and the more difficult, advanced techniques will be lost. A lot of those craftspeople without apprentices are already in their 70's and 80's. They've got, maybe 10-20 years max before they die, 5-15 years before their body can't do the craft anymore, depending on the type of labor required. There's a lot of professions where, the craftsperson is the ONLY one remaining that has the knowledge of ancient techniques. They're not wrong about the knowledge being lost if they die without passing it on.
      Sure, modern techniques can mimic ancient crafts, but they generally always create inferior products. And sure, we might be able to recreate the techniques eventually, through trial and error, but it'll take a significant amount of time - even if we already know the recipe and ratios. Just look at how long it took to recreate Roman concrete.
      We might be able to reacquire the knowledge, but it's always going to be better, easier, and more effective, with an unbroken chain of knowledge passed down than it ever will trying to recreate it from scratch.

      I disagree. A lot of people, especially in the states, would pay good money for something one-of-a-kind like this. It is hand-made, specifically unique, and also of a dying trade. Because of this, a tradesman of any dying craft could charge a reasonably good price, and someone would pay for it. We live in a consumerist-driven society, and if tradesmen like this were smart, they would push their products, be able to ship universally, and people would buy them. Not necessarily for a practical use, but because of the *aesthetic.*

    In recent years, some people have been passing off Chinese-made umbrellas (karakasa)as Japanese umbrellas.(wagasa) In Japan, there is a way to distinguish a Japanese umbrella from a Chinese one. The way to tell them apart is to look at the detailed structure.

    • @team3am149
      @team3am149 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There is no such thing as a wagasa, not even a Wikipedia entry. All of the styles are known as Chinese oil-paper umbrella, or youzhisan. Japanese have been passing these Chinese umbrellas off as being Japanese for a millennia.

      If you notice in regular/western umbrellas, when you close the umbrella and fold it, the spacing may be uneven and requires manual folding to avoid creases. When you close wagasa umbrellas, the cover is already folded and evenly spaced out and will maintain the folds without outside effort from the owner.

      From what I see, this umbrella, when folded, the papers are folded in, the bamboo blades are visible. Western umbrella on the other hand, have the fabric folded out, covering the blades.
