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..
@@bigdickgeorgia5777 i was also thinking that this process could be automatized contrary to what the craftsmen/artists said; then again part of the beauty resides on the fact that it was hand made
When the master talked about the juniors continiung the work and starting to think on their own, so he could observe the areas where they thrive in and make beautiful things on their own, i started crying yo...
He's a really good teacher. He allows his apprentices artistic freedom and don't need to follow all his demands. Not a lot of teacher, especially in Asia, can be like this.
Me three, Paul. It's not just his mastery or his affection for his apprentices, it is his humility, his discipline, and the joy that flickers in his eyes when he talks about it.
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.
Got this recommended to me by UA-cam, didn't think I would watch the whole thing but before I knew it 25 minutes passed. There is just something about watching people that really love and have perfected their craftsmanship..
Can't tell you how true this was. I dead thought about turning and then every time I was like oh that's enough some new cooler shit came up. They fucking nailed the pacing on this one
Its bittersweet, how proud he is of all the worker he has done over his life and proud of his apprenticces, but also sad that he has aged and all the time that has passed
utterly astonishing. The kind of skill that makes one think "I will never in my life be able to create something as beautiful as this, but am overjoyed that there are people out there that can." Beautifully filmed and edited by a skilled producer as well.
> I will never in my life be able to create something as beautiful as this It takes dedication to something, and that's it. When you love something with all your heart, and you put all your effort into it, no matter what it is, it will become beauty. It's worth nothing that becoming a good parent is the default route to this. Don't give up hope.
This is one the finest works of not only craftsmanship, but art I have ever had the privilege of laying my eyes upon. I paused the video at the end and just looked at it for 15 minutes, and I'm not ashamed to admit I got misty eyed.
My dream is to spend the rest of my life doing something like this, keeping a traditional craft alive in a beautiful setting like this. I wish someone like this would adopt me and teach me, I would be forever grateful. ...They're so blessed to have this kind of family and life.
It’s a rainy Tuesday morning , sitting on my back porch drinking coffee , thinking to myself “I wish I could see a documentary about mathematical patterns, Japanese art , and woodworking all in one “..... and the UA-cam algorithm strikes again ... excellent
When he started explaining the "movement of clouds" on his artwork, I just realized the level of mastery these guys have - it is unmatched. I hope this art would be passed on to the next generations.
Those subtle tweaks he made to his work that nobody else could have perceived really elevated his art to the next level. The extra effort was worthwhile. Very inspiring
I wasnt sure what this video was about because the title was in Japanese.. I was brought to tears by these craftsmen and their dedication and love for beauty ... I couldnt stop sharing and talking about this... beyond amazing ! ❤️
This is an exquisite treat to see how master craftsmen create such stunning perspectives like the Shinano landscape - Thank you Takenaka Museum for making this available
What a precious masterpiece of art!!! This is what true art is, so precious and invaluable: Art imitating life imitating art. Infinite interpretation by the observer!! I am privileged to witness this documentary!!! 💙💙✨✨
I have tremendous respect for Japanese work ethics. It is a great society/country where craft is respected and where craftsmen like in this video live.

That was just stunning....I've only seen a few little decorative inserts of this kind of work, but never entire panels. There is skill, and there is artistry. We are fortunate they have both.
I love the fact that the master made all of his own tools. I also like bamboo basket making, quite similar in the fact that they work the material down into a fine perfectly gauged medium then weave their own magic. So many crafts in Japan with every material available.
I can't express how happy and satisfied it makes me to see this work being done. Also that a team of people took the time and care to make such a beautiful video to document these incredible craftsmen.
A lifetime may not be enough to develop these woodworking skills alone. Then one would need to be an artist, an observer of nature and absolutely dedicated to thrive for perfection. This, I think, is what set these people apart from 99 % of the rest of the world. What a beautiful video of wonderful people showing outstanding skills!
素晴らしい! The Kumiko at the end made me cry because it is so beautiful! All the Kumiko Pictures shown are so beautiful and mesmerizing. Japanese woodworking techniques are by far my favourite ones.
I have recently be smitten by Kumiko and I am enamored by it’s beauty and elegance. Thank you for your endurance and continued growth which now brings peace and reverence to the world.
The warp speed is only a thought, the faster you run the less you experience. Dedication to one thing is truly hard to achieve with a constant flood of options.
kumiko style design is in the Nissan Ariya. this is beautiful crafts. thank you for showing this. 400,000 people are now wiser and better people because of this. and 150 people are rather lost souls...
This is by far the most beautyful piece of art that someone can made from wood. It shows again that truly great art requires outstanding craftsmanship, precise knowledge of the tools required and a tremendous power of imagination...
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.
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.
Beautifully filmed and presented, in keeping with the craft itself. Thank you for the lessons this contains about craft and life, and for the story overall.
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.
"Here's the entire process. If you wanna try to copy it, I wish you the best of luck."

How it sounds in Japanese kanji: "Perfection is the strict minimum, aim for more". Just need to know if U remember)).
Perfection is the strict minimum, aim for more.
Did you find what is "more"?
I have an insane amount of respect for people who dedicate their whole lives to mastering that one craft and there are so many of them in japan
