You've got to admire the authenticity of the person who wanted to have a sake label drawn by Ten so he had to fly him to experience all of those things.
Speaking the truth brother, almost makes me want to tear up with the amount of admiration they have for him for just drawing a sake label. They recognize him as one of the greats.
There was some miscommunication/ language barrier stuff when we discussed this project and it has come to my attention that this only ships inside of Japan, eve though I said in the vid it ships worldwide. Sorry bout that ya’ll. I’ll let u know if the situation changes :( Also ya’ll can chill wit the coronavirus comments. I took this trip a while ago. A month before the first reported case in China and 2 months before the first reported case in Japan. I have been home for 3 months and I’m not sick at all. I know most of u are joking around but some of you seem to be legit concerned.
It is true that the factory only ships in Japan. Most factories do. But I'm pretty sure there will be specialized import/exporters that will be offering these at a significant mark up price. For instance, maybe ask Uwajimaya Seattle? Edit...... Oh woops, just 100 bottles? Forget about it. They are probably sold as soon as they are made public.
The paper you got from the shrine is usually for a specific purpose, in that case the success (good luck) of your collaboration with the Sake factory. After it served its purpose, you should bring it back to the shrine you got it from and pray to thank the gods. You should bring the paper back next time you go to Yamagata. Ask your Japanese friends for confirmation, but basically it is not yours to keep. Awesome Art, I am about to buy the Sake bottle ! And if some of your viewers want to buy one, they can use a service such as Buyee or Zen Market.
@@kinnikunky Yeah, wish they had done so with the other designs too. Maybe they didn't to have their national artists' designs all have a more traditional appeal, while the only non-national (Western) design pop out more in a "exotic" way. 🤔 Anyway, look great as they are already 🤓
Dude, what an honor. This is so rad. I'm in love with Japanese culture especially their architecture and art styles. There are so many talented people there it's so cool you were chosen along side them! You're so talented as well, congratulations!
WOW..... amazing work love how you managed the colors. The company also did a really good job on the final product, the blue bottle really added to the art.
Chewing though all of your videos one by one and loving every second of it! You actually inspired me to go into procreate and try some stuff even though I’m really a beat maker. Super inspiring stuff, I love the entire channel and the vibe I get from you as a person. Much love and respect from Sweden
Japan is JAPAN. I've traveled all over the world and Japan is just the most unique place to visit and culture to experience! The people of the country are the best part though...
What a dope opportunity. So stoked for you and for the Kamogawa sake company who made the wise decision to embark on this colab! Thanks for bringing us along
I can't put into words how amazing your Sake design is. It's just majestic. It's exactly what you intended. Feels very Japanesy and traditional but with such a modern and stylistic interpretation. Amazing job
I know how amazing it makes an artist feel when you make a limited edition design. It's a nice feeling and brings the best of your creativity. Ten Hun, you are amazing
Such a humble artist in that you still have artists that inspire you and look up to so much that you also feel intimated by working with them. You're an inspiration to artists like myself. Thanks for the content you provide us all!
You GET the weight of the history of sake and the history of the country. That’s the weight. You get the sacredness of the whole picture. That puts you in the ‘Great Artist’ class 😊
Dang, what a compliment to be asked to do this. To be put side by side those artists and to be welcomed into their factory. Obviously they admire you a lot. Just like we do! 👍
This is so dope! Fellow seattle person here lol as a chef this is amazing to watch, and I can only imagine how it felt to be in the presence of those Sake masters!! I hope you’re staying safe during this wildness, and I’m happy to say I just placed an order for a print and sweater I’m eager to rock while I art lol thank you for this inspiration. I’m so glad I found your channel!
I just found this channel like 2 days ago and I am super obsessed! Your entire art style is amazing! From the actual art to the video editing to just your personality. Thanks for adding your happiness to my day!
just wow. really beautiful painting and the blue sake bottle makes it pop even more. Almost like there is the whole sky on top of your avatar on the bottle.
You're super talented! I just discovered your vids, and you've got such a great personality! Super fun, personable, great energy, kind of like everyone's best friend. I like how you share your process, your fears, your excitement. I've read some comments about how you inspire others to draw and paint, and it's so true. Your talent, yes, but I think it's mostly bc of your infectious enthousiasm and encouragement. You make it seem so easy. Have a super day!
Was watching videos about Japanese carpentry earlier today and now I am watching a video about sake. There's something about Japanese culture that's so....calming.
CONGRATS! TenHun, you represented yourself with the best of them. If I didn't know which one was yours, I would not have know the difference. You stand with the elites bro!
As always beautiful work. I love how they even went with a bright blue bottle to match the themes of the art. So proud of you for pushing yourself as an artist the way you do it’s really inspiring to me personally.
Always inspiring TenHun!! You're probably the only reason I'm still drawing/painting from time to time. Much love, try to come to Europe more often! That turtle is sick
I respect how real you are. You're confident in your abilities but aren't afraid to let us see your vulnerable side. Your art is brilliant and I'm sending people across the world your T-shirts because the travel bans have me trapped in Asia when my family and friends are in Europe. Thank you for always having such a positive attitude.
i think it really is only right for you to feel the weight of it, you're participating in a peoples' (probably more than) decades old culture & tradition... your reaction to this project is just exactly how good pips should react, imo. and you, ten, are one good dude. must be really cool to be an artist, and if you're an anime fan, to be personally invited to japan & participate in some very private exclusive ceremonies... it also has me wondering that if you're a fan of anime... did you manage to go to places in japan significant to that? or there just wasn't enough time? either way, incredible honor. incredible job ya did, ten. BEAUTIFUL stunning work... this channel is slowly sinking its claws into my heart & moving me more than i thought it would.. heheheh... :'''''')
I'm really glad to have a chance to watch your adventures, very thankful for the day you decided to start making videos for TH-cam. Appreciated Ten, don't stop..
Good to see, you are always so enthusiastic. What I like most, is to see art, craftmanship and tradition coming together. In my opinion it´s always good to know what already was there, you may want to develop it further or in some cases, brake with the tradition and come to something totally new.
Fantastic. Makes the piece so much more, with you actually experiencing and then giving back with the integrity in to the finished project. Great connection and the trip all be it short, so worth it. Killed it \m/
wow thanks for sharing that. I lived and grew up in Guam and have always loved the Japanese culture. So great to see your amazing art on that Sake bottle. So dope dude. You are such an inspiration for all artists!
Wow! What a cool experience as an artist, to get to participate in the spiritual and handmade takes on this ancient alcohol, then design the label, semi-collab-style with three other artists. Love the directional theme and symbolism! You rock, TenHun! ^5 💖
Did you know the bottle was that lovely blue colour? If so, you really nailed the colours in your illustration to sit so nicely on it. Your design definitely holds it's own alongside the Japanese 'legends'.
Hey Ten Hundred, I really love your videos. The vlogging is really cool and you always put a lot of information on how you create your art in them! Can you do a video on environmental-friendly clothing/ art? Is this a topic for you? I heard from a lot of artists/ youtubers that it's simply not affordable and I'd really like to know your opinion on this one.
Man i really love the 3 different designs the bottles look like something I'd like to collect for decoration they're awesome, the blue added to yours was also amazing
I'm so sad that I found your channel just last month. I would have looooooved to buy one of them, they turned out stunning. But whatever, at least I found your awesome art and channel that will be a must watch every video type of channel for me from now on. You rock!
Such a great way for big companies to recognize and support artists. I wish more corporations in the U.S. did this. Though some have done great projects here.
You've got to admire the authenticity of the person who wanted to have a sake label drawn by Ten so he had to fly him to experience all of those things.

Ah that's a shame, I really was wondering as I love Sake, I would love to have one bottle with art of you on it.
It is true that the factory only ships in Japan. Most factories do. But I'm pretty sure there will be specialized import/exporters that will be offering these at a significant mark up price. For instance, maybe ask Uwajimaya Seattle?
Edit......
Oh woops, just 100 bottles? Forget about it. They are probably sold as soon as they are made public.
Dude congratulations on landing this one!! So sick. You're a legend too, never forget that!
Well that's not the answer I wanted. I tried to buy a bottle but the "only in Japan" message made me pump the brakes.
This is so cool!! You really inspire me so much!!! 🖤 Sending you so much love from India 🇮🇳
“filled with Creative energy”. Alcohol lol
What The Coronavirus
Lol
Haha ikr
placid renegade haha funny funny

Awesome Art, I am about to buy the Sake bottle ! And if some of your viewers want to buy one, they can use a service such as Buyee or Zen Market.
I love how they adjusted the bottle design to your style, giving it a blue-ish colour, and having the paper kinda fade out. Looks really special.
blue-ish? that HOT blue blew my mind! Xp It looked SO GOOD!
@@kinnikunky Yeah, wish they had done so with the other designs too. Maybe they didn't to have their national artists' designs all have a more traditional appeal, while the only non-national (Western) design pop out more in a "exotic" way. 🤔 Anyway, look great as they are already 🤓
Truth.

this is just breath taking, I never been a fan of art, but HOLY heck your art style is incredible its been hours and im still watching your videos.
WOW.....
amazing work
love how you managed the colors.
The company also did a really good job on the final product, the blue bottle really added to the art.

That's gotta be in my top 5 videos i've watched all time. It's so well filmed and so inspiring.
There's a dope video called tokyo dreams by luis mora that reminds me so much of this video !!! Just two guys loving the culture around them.
Japan is JAPAN. I've traveled all over the world and Japan is just the most unique place to visit and culture to experience! The people of the country are the best part though...
11:37 I get you are intimidated. BUT! You are one of the legends too. These are your peers. Get used to it you legend. ;-)
Taking flavor and history and turning it into art! That’s awesome!
What a dope opportunity. So stoked for you and for the Kamogawa sake company who made the wise decision to embark on this colab! Thanks for bringing us along
That clip where he’s filming outside his house, I thought he was filming in black and white. Lol
lol. thats just seattle.
I LITERALLY thought the same hahaha
revminTphresh that clip is from Japan tho but lol Seattle is just as bad
@@thisphoneisbusted oh, snap! lol. looks just like capitol hill in mid feb!
At 13:40 he was in Seattle
Such a huge honor to be chosen as the only foreign artist. Looks awesome!
I can't put into words how amazing your Sake design is. It's just majestic. It's exactly what you intended. Feels very Japanesy and traditional but with such a modern and stylistic interpretation. Amazing job

What an amazing honor and opportunity! Congratulations!
This video was sweet. Thanks for sharing your experience there and the history behind your concept. This piece would make an awesome t-shirt!
You GET the weight of the history of sake and the history of the country. That’s the weight. You get the sacredness of the whole picture. That puts you in the ‘Great Artist’ class 😊
Loved your turtle art design. That's a beautiful piece of art that complements the bottle perfectly. You're a super talent!
Dang, what a compliment to be asked to do this. To be put side by side those artists and to be welcomed into their factory. Obviously they admire you a lot.
Just like we do! 👍
That video was beautiful man, and of course the sake artwork too. You're always an inspiration!
This is so dope! Fellow seattle person here lol as a chef this is amazing to watch, and I can only imagine how it felt to be in the presence of those Sake masters!!

Congratulations that's a big honor for you to have art on a sake bottle normally they stick to one to two artists and thats it. Have a blessed day
just wow. really beautiful painting and the blue sake bottle makes it pop even more. Almost like there is the whole sky on top of your avatar on the bottle.

I lived in japan for 2 years and this brought back a lot of memories. Loved the video!!!
same but for 4 years
same but for 6 years
same but for 10 years
same but for 12 years
same but for 16 years
So weird watching this in 2024 and knowing how much your life has changed in the past 4 years! Keep going, bud!
Young man, this video so awesome and the design you painted is out of this world! I enjoyed watching this.
Spectacular. Every video I see I love your style and art more and more and you have inspired me greatly. Thank you!
Honestly, your design was the best of the group if you ask me.
As always beautiful work. I love how they even went with a bright blue bottle to match the themes of the art. So proud of you for pushing yourself as an artist the way you do it’s really inspiring to me personally.

You hear this quite often, but dang, you're such an Inspiration!
Dude, I love your work, I know exactly the feeling you get when getting a special client. For some reason we get an extra anxiety boots haha
The blue bottle with the blue in the label art is amazing combo.
i think it really is only right for you to feel the weight of it, you're participating in a peoples' (probably more than) decades old culture & tradition...
your reaction to this project is just exactly how good pips should react, imo. and you, ten, are one good dude.
must be really cool to be an artist, and if you're an anime fan, to be personally invited to japan & participate in some very private exclusive ceremonies...
it also has me wondering that if you're a fan of anime... did you manage to go to places in japan significant to that? or there just wasn't enough time?
either way, incredible honor. incredible job ya did, ten. BEAUTIFUL stunning work...
this channel is slowly sinking its claws into my heart & moving me more than i thought it would.. heheheh... :'''''')
That design is absolutely beautiful! Great work man!!
It's BEAUTIFUL and looks great on that bottle. Great job!... as usual.
I'm really glad to have a chance to watch your adventures, very thankful for the day you decided to start making videos for TH-cam. Appreciated Ten, don't stop..
You crush it, so excited for your upcoming monthly class. Purchased it for myself for my Birthday.
Dude, how can you NOT be inspired by that quick trek thru Japan. I'm feelin' inspired just watching this vid.
Awesome!!! Loved the creative process. Great work, beautiful art!
Beautiful work! WOW! I love the whole concept! The turtle is so amazing, the mountains on his back, oh my GOSH, Gorgeous!
Beautiful job, i lived in japan for 6 years, your attention to details and custom were warranted
Great work as always mate and what a great experience visiting the factory in Japan
Good to see, you are always so enthusiastic. What I like most, is to see art, craftmanship and tradition coming together. In my opinion it´s always good to know what already was there, you may want to develop it further or in some cases, brake with the tradition and come to something totally new.
i love watching you embrace where you are to the fullest. not only your is beautiful, but what's around it as well.
Japanese culture is *fascinating*. You nailed this and what a ridiculously special experience!!
I never skip advertisements, keep giving surprises, to your loyal audience dudde , awesome
Fantastic. Makes the piece so much more, with you actually experiencing and then giving back with the integrity in to the finished project. Great connection and the trip all be it short, so worth it. Killed it \m/
Welcome to Tokyo. I hope you'll enjoy your stay.
Thanks for your awesome videos, very inspiring.
Thank you, man! Have a great day!
I can’t believe you only went to Japan for a few days! Sounds exhausting! It’s such a great country-lovely place to bum around for a bit.
wow thanks for sharing that. I lived and grew up in Guam and have always loved the Japanese culture. So great to see your amazing art on that Sake bottle. So dope dude. You are such an inspiration for all artists!
Wow! What a cool experience as an artist, to get to participate in the spiritual and handmade takes on this ancient alcohol, then design the label, semi-collab-style with three other artists. Love the directional theme and symbolism! You rock, TenHun! ^5 💖
came out great. that blue in the turtle went great with the bottle.
It looks so sick! The artwork is really cool
Wonderful design. It looks awesome with the other two design styles.
Before covid i used to visit my sister and her family there, i miss her, my nephew and japan. This video bring happy memories there.
AMAZING piece man!!! You should be super proud!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know the bottle was that lovely blue colour? If so, you really nailed the colours in your illustration to sit so nicely on it. Your design definitely holds it's own alongside the Japanese 'legends'.
Hey Ten Hundred,
I really love your videos. The vlogging is really cool and you always put a lot of information on how you create your art in them! Can you do a video on environmental-friendly clothing/ art? Is this a topic for you? I heard from a lot of artists/ youtubers that it's simply not affordable and I'd really like to know your opinion on this one.
Who knew art could lead to such a fantastic experience. Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it all
Finally someone that pronounces sake correctly. Great video!
Another great piece of work Ten!
Love your stuff. 👌
Your design fits in so nicely with the other artists' ones. It looks brilliant!
This is gorgeous. I'd love a blue t-shirt with this on it. Of all 3 of the artists, his is the most recognizable as a tortoise.
Found this print on your website and my gf loved it! Great to see the process behind it. Keep up the good work sir!
Beautiful! Honestly, your piece was my favourite out of the three. Really cool. ♥
That drawing honestly gave me chills. Really impressive.
I love your art work. Really full of inspiration!
Man i really love the 3 different designs the bottles look like something I'd like to collect for decoration they're awesome, the blue added to yours was also amazing
Wow, i love that you did so much research and have a lot of respect for the culture of the company ♡
This was an amazing art piece, you really captured their culture within the piece
I think this is my favourite illustration you've done so far!
Absolutely stunning!!! I'm so happy that I found your channel. Your art speaks to me a lot, I love it!
I'm so sad that I found your channel just last month. I would have looooooved to buy one of them, they turned out stunning. But whatever, at least I found your awesome art and channel that will be a must watch every video type of channel for me from now on. You rock!
bottle came out fresh bro, best of luck and congrats on all the success
One word. Beautiful.
amazing experience ...thank you for sharing, Being yourself is an awesome gig.
Such a great way for big companies to recognize and support artists. I wish more corporations in the U.S. did this. Though some have done great projects here.
Oh I love how the blue bottle matches your blue tinted character!
i have to say this is definitely in my top 5 projects youve done. such a cool piece man. good job..... id like that design on a shirt
3:10 filled up with alcohol lmao
Honestly tho this is amazing
Amazingly well done and what an honor
So cool design! I love it! I just found your channel but already checking to get some of your cool merch🤙🏼
You’re such a good guy ten, you deserve all your blessings! Keep progressing 🔥
Wow, you did a fantastic job! Absolutely LOVED it!

You went there and did your thing. And here I am a few months later feeling so proud of you :D
