I could watch this all day! Fascinating. The perfection in everything they do is awe-inspiring. Thank you for showing us. The Japanese have a work ethic that put most of us to shame. They are an amazing people.
A master-class in how to turn the process of making a brush into an art form, and a work of art in its own right. No wonder there are brushes in the Imperial treasury

I know what I’ll be trying to make this summer. My neighbour has a fluffy cat, that gets a haircut every summer. Well.... I learnt a lot from this video. 🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌💙
Bought a couple of these (made in a more mass produced setting) and they work good with pen and ink drawing. Got them here in Portland, OR at the Uwajiama Market (large Japanese market).
there is NO robot or machine that can mimic or replace these kinds of crafts. These and other crafts will live forever, so long as there are decisples of such.
Scott Allen Too bad it seems only Japan is keeping such traditions alive.. I think I’ve watched five videos in 3 days that highlighted Japanese woodworkers passing down centuries old traditions.
I fooled with calligraphy in my youth. Went to Chinatown in NYC and bought a couple $30 brushes. Had a grinding stone and a stick of ink. My goal was to paint a perfect circle. It took 2 years but I finally painted a perfect circle about the size of a silver dollar. Sounds easy? Try it.
One of the skills a gunsmith must show is the ability to produce a 1" cube by hand filing. I was told by a master gunsmith he moved from apprentice to journeyman by this demonstration
They will be challenged now like they have never been before. Previously, there would always have been a market for high quality brushes. But digital trends are diminishing that market fast. I hope we can find a way to keep around these ancient skills even in the digital age as those skills are valuable
Wow a true craftsman and I guess almost a lost art..most people go to the dollar store and get the plastic 5 count mystery brush that dont last the way home in the car.
Paloma Lee ....I’m sorry you feel that way about your life. Do what I did years ago, get a prescription for sertralene (Zoloft) it really helps.lol lol lol😂
I was certain that was masking tape they were using to bind the strands together and thought, "wow they actually modernized that part". But then it hit me... It's Washi tape!
0:44 It says "The protagonist this time" is because this is an episode of a series, all about young artisans inheriting and learning Japan's many artisanal crafts. It's on TH-cam but sadly it's only available in Japanese without any subtitles, which is a shame because the series is a wet dream for any woodworking enthusiast. It contains many episodes on different styles of Japanese lacquerware alone, from using gold powder to cutting stripes of oyster shell linings as decorations. They have Japanese traditional piano/harp, umbrella, and those boxes with paper veneer cut from gluing stripes of naturally coloured wood into complex patterns and more. Look up 明日への扉 by アットホーム if you are interested. Actually, you should definitely check it out, the language barrier shouldn't block you from understanding what the artisan is doing. th-cam.com/channels/Ylyxt5GafZd_sHPE3Dhc9g.html
Very good subject for a video and very instructive, however, someone who knows how to use a camera should have done the recording. The zooming in and out was very distractive and annoying.
Why is it that every video of someone doing something interesting with their hands, the cameraman immediately zooms in to a close-up shot of his/her nostrils for the duration of the shot?
Am I the only one that thinks this is sorta sad? I think an important part of mastering any art is to love the art that you do. The way they sorta force each generation into doing the same work kinda takes creativity away.
need to get rid of the American music it belittles the true Art of mastering. the Japanese people are true Masters in everything they do they take the time in putting the pride the power from one's self-making them a true Master of the Art`s 7/20/2021 2:09 AM from Michigan USA
A job is a job bud. But there's something about having to make something in with your hands and in a very specific way from beginning to end. If they've got pride in their work then it's probably not boring. Not exciting either, but likely enjoyable. On the other hand, if they're just making a living then yeah, it's definitely boring!
I was thinking the same thing, and that they actually kind of suck at holding liquid anyway. You can get about one solid line before having to redip. But that just might be the type of ink they're using. They look beautiful though.
Attention channel owner... FYI... I refuse to watch any video who’s title, which is written in English, is obviously not written by someone who speaks the language... bottom line... want to make money off of Americans... might want to at least learn the language. FYI... no, I did not watch the video... and I am about to block your channel. Hey Russians... this goes for you too.
@@thecraftycreeper3167 yeah this guy is ignorant with his comment. I'm American and completely agree. Americans are the newest civilization and act like everyone else should bend to our ways. The arrogance is overwhelming
@@ryancastaneda9662 It is not only Americans. I am from a mixed Russian-American family, and I have seen some Russian people who behave in the same way, as well as people from several other countries with a similar opinion about their countries and their culture.In my opinion, this happens due to the lack of exposure to other cultures. Both too negative and too positive opinions about other cultures and other people are formed due to the lack of real knowledge about them.

You can always tell someone’s a craftsman, when they use their mouth as a tool without batting an eye

A master performing the art of his craft is utterly truly inspiring.
Thank you!

Glad you found it helpful, LOL
This job would do my head in !
Witness any master craftsman is a joy to behold.
This was truly wonderful to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow truly amazing, you both are masters of this great master craft, I bow my head in humbleness to you, thank you sirs 🌟✅❤️👍
Japanese very obsession in very detailed and workmanship...and highest quality...it’s incredible...they make us look like lazy people

Watching these videos makes me feel I should have never left my life living in Japan. Amazing videos as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Grandi Maestri Serietà Disciplina. Grazie 🙏 Fabrizio 🇮🇹
The art of fine brush making has been passed down the Armstrong Family for generations!
True craftsmen.
Master of Master
Heck of a title.
They will be challenged now like they have never been before. Previously, there would always have been a market for high quality brushes. But digital trends are diminishing that market fast. I hope we can find a way to keep around these ancient skills even in the digital age as those skills are valuable
thank you kindly
I hope they live long.
Thank you very much!
My Husky sheds a lot. I can keep you supplied with all of the hair!
please lol:)
in Japan if you hone your skill to super sain 5 you're going to make it. that's why everything they do looks intense.
totally agree
What do you think these guys do after work?
Good job reading the title of this video in one breath
yeah..lol... but I was able to get by
Craftsmanship at the absolute highest level is achieved in Japan. Wow
Yes i can't sleep too.
Ju-nichi isn't too happy I have the feeling. Great brushes though.
Don't you think that the music is inappropriate for the topic of the video?
yeah, I know, I am just fed up with this
The son can roll a mean blunt
Dad looks like japanese jimmy page
Wow a true craftsman and I guess almost a lost art..most people go to the dollar store and get the plastic 5 count mystery brush that dont last the way home in the car.
father and son having so much fun.... sitting there, in complete silence ...
The best hair to use for making brush is squirrel,it holds slot of ink.
Wow amazing! The craftsmanship and artistry that comes from Japan is amazing.
👏👏👍👍👍
9:22 that's the look I have when I think about my life..lol. JK they're work is amazing. 👏
"They're" work? Are you really that much of a dumbass?
Slappy ......ur the dumb ass, she was talking about herself not these guys, dipweed.

Probably just washi. Paper alone, not tape.

That moment you realize OCD people have been with us forever and have given us wonderous gifts throughout history.
not OCD, just hard work and dedication to their craft.
Interesting topic. PLEASE SWITCH SOUNDTRACK TO SOMETHING SLOW AND TRADITIONALLY JAPANESE???
Is it weird to anyone else that many of the people in these videos were born in 1983?
Jessee Hayes 82 must have been a good year
@@davyjones2994 lol best reply I've ever had

Can be use tooth press by bamboo
The music is totally annoying

Rather ironic that Mao's war on culture that ended so much that enriched China for thousands of years, ended up, in a small way, enriching Japan.

Nice title, totally incorrect though
ок
I don't get it. What's so special about this brush compared to other brushes.
Its literally just a brush.
Please don't kill......

Don't like it? Don't watch it! BTW, Americans could really put more effort into exploring the culture of other countries.
And this is why cousins shouldn't get married☝
