      That's the Japanese way of teaching - they will not explain to you, but will show everything. Partly, because they know that unspoken details make all the difference. Partly, because they want pupils to develop their own style. It takes too much time and fails too often, compared to Western way of teaching. But when it succeeds - it produces Masters of craft, not "workers".

      I actually was inspired to try and make a digital poster following some of the guidelines of the medium. Using the geometry and similar limited palettes I think you could layout a plan to actually make a very detailed piece. You could then turn that piece into a svg, from there extrude into an obj file. From there you would need a software that breaks down your pieces so you could out them together on a laser cutter for assembly. This would take a custom script, but a small price to pay to create your own Japanese Wood Craft Lego Sets..

    I spent 35 years in Japan and the one thing i brought back with me is the Japanese complete dedication to accomplish a task when they have decided to do so. I have lived in many countries, but only in Japan have i seen this unique attitude to utter perfectionism and commitment. It is not just in craftsmanship, it is everywhere, from those artists and craftsmen who create things so such a level of attention to detail, to the way people display vegetables in supermarket, the way the courier services handle your packages and parcels, the way the dentists will fix or clean your teeth, the way the person at the register or the counter will show complete and utter politeness and the way any office or company worker and employee will always go the extra 100 miles to do what they are asked.
    When i went back to my country it took me 5 years to get over the lack of civility and rigueur of people, and even today when at my clinic (i am a vet) i hire Japanese students for whatever time they are spending in the country and ask the other employee to watch what i expect because Japanese are trained since kindergarten to show excellence and never show self-righteousness or self-indulgence and even a 19 years old student has this discipline instilled inside his or her brain.
    You find this nowhere else and this is the best lesson i ever learn in my life.
    When i lived in Japan i took on Wasai which is traditional silk Kimono tailoring and stitching techniques, because a veterinarian friend of mine told me that this would teach me dexterity and precision.
    My teachers were extremely strict and i was even told once that if i wasn't ready to dedicate myself entirely to learning how it was done i was wasting my time and theirs. My aunt is a seamstress and worked for quite large houses and i always admired her work. However when i started studying wasai i immediately realized what we lacked in western dressmaking. First of all everybody bowed when they arrived and then washed their hands meticulously and then changed into working comfortable and immaculate clothes as to not bring dust or dirt from outside which could damage or stain the fabric, then all the accessories were removed and placed in a box, not rings, no earrings, no necklaces no wristwatches, there again in order not to damage the fabrics. Then wearing slipper we went to the workroom and removed the sleepers at the door and entered with the fresh pair of socks we brought with us and changed into every time. If we needed to use the toilets, we used the sleepers to go to the toilets and changed into toilet sleepers and then back into walking sleepers and then back to the room after again washing hands meticulously. And we all wore masks, and that was long before Covid, not only to avoid getting anyone sick but also to avoid any risk of coughing or sneezing over the fabrics.
    But what i remember the most was one thing. There was a calligraphy written on the wall of the atelier we worked in and it said simply and clearly in Japanese "Perfection is the strict minimum, aim for more".
    I asked my teacher what was more than perfection and he answered, you are 15 years too early to ask this question, once you're reached perfection i will tell you what comes beyond.
    I have a similar calligraphy and its translation on the wall of the clinic today, as a reminder for myself that i must do my job perfectly and also for my employees to keep in mind that excellence is not optional.
    Anyone who has seen a Japanese Kimono made the traditional way knows what i am talking about. There is no better tailoring and stitching on the planet !

      @@SloppyLazyEGG The pace of this work, and many other generally similar pursuits in Japanese culture, is so striking to me. If you aren't producing business growth at 3% yoy, you aren't viable. I feel we'd have more such crafts-people in the west if 'hustle and grind' wasn't necessary to put food on the table and provide a secure long-term living. If you aren't pursuing a college degree it must be due to personal failings. Even those with degrees favor hollow careers over creative ones in order to make a living. Apprenticeship is not respected.

    At the end, while zooming on the river in the piece, when the gurgling sound of a stream silently slid into the mix. The editor as much a master of his art as these guys are.

    出来上がった作品にあたたかみを感じました。様々な種類の木材を使い分けることで色を付けるという発想には驚きました。私も機会があればやってみたいです。

    I’m very limited on my movement but I love woodworking. It’s very depressing when I want to do stuff My brain knows how to do but my body won’t let me… I came across a Japanese woodworking video that highlighted Kumiko a while back and I’ve been thinking of ways I could get the tools necessary for the basics. This is something that I can do that doesn’t take up too much space and It looks like I can do it from a seated position. I’ll never be able to make the quality pieces like these Master Craftsman but I can try and slowly get better over time. Maybe one day I’ll be able to catch the beauty of the West Virginia Mountains as the seasons change, with all the wonderful colors of fall.

    Wow this was amazing. As a european I thought that a symetrical kumiko looks best. How wrong I was. Also I love how efficient they work.

    うちの学校にはこういった方が結構来てくださって、講演がよく行われたんですけど、日本の職人の技術というものはどんどん芸術に昇華されるようになってきたと思われます。そうでなければ淘汰され忘れ去られてしまう分岐点、そういう時代なのかなと。立ち止まらず、より上を、上手なだけでなく、より美しく。

      Mutual respect I think is the key. To the people, culture, material & environment: they have Shinto religion, which is about there're spirits in everything.
      While I wouldn't say they're the most ecofriendly, but for now at least they're treating their work and their customers with respect, by making stuff that worth keeping for longer.

    I paused so many times as I noticed little details which weren't even mentioned but must have taken so much care to do.
