大好きな音色の琴の内部構造が初めて分かりました。こんな複雑な工程を経ていたのですね。素晴らしい動画です。ご健康に気を付けていつまでも日本の音色、琴を作り続けて頂きたいです。
What makes the "cedar patern" different to produce sound? Why not use other patterns, say just simple straight lines to make it easier curbing the wood?
とても貴重な動画見せて頂き感謝いたします こんなに手がかかっていることを知り４０年前に購入した琴を大切に使って行こうと思いました 琴の制作まで見られる良い時代になりました。
I am a Canadian luthier and I love watching the work of luthiers of other cultures.
Ahh, a fellow Canuck eh! I also make guitars (more of a hobby, than a profession). I’ve built about 20 guitars and 17 of them ended up in the fireplace! …LOL… :)
Made in Japanがまだ生きている
真摯な物作りが日本らしくて良い
楽器を作る職人の方達の躰に染み込んでいる技術に敬服致しますね。
様々な楽器が人びとに価値観と世界観を思わせる事に嬉しく思いますね。
I watch a lot of Japanese wood and medal craftsmen and I'm blown away by the attention to detail in everything they do.
Wonderfully beautiful. Thank you for your kindness and sharing.😊
Thank you 😮
Amazing craftsmanship. A salute to the artisans who made this beautiful instrument.
The Koto is not actually a harp, but a zither. The main acoustical wood that it is made from is called Kiri in Japanese; in English it is called Paulownia wood, and is from the Princess Tree, Paulownia tomentosa. Being a very soft wood, Paulownia wood is also sometimes called, "the other Balsa" It is used for making many East Asian stringed instruments besides the Koto.
Dohmo, arigatou gozaimasu!
Is He Hardening the wood with the surface burning or is that a way of "staining"?.
@@urbannpa I am no expert on Koto making by any means, but my guess is that it is done primarily for aesthetic coloring / staining purposes, and that secondarily it might also have an effect on the sound as well. I don't think that it is a means of hardening the wood. Many other acoustical woods used in musical instrument making, particularly those that are used for the soundboards of guitars and other stringed instruments, are quite soft. What do you say about that, Japanese Industry? Anata no iken wa nandesuka?
It colours the wood, brings out the contrast between the early and late season grains, and burns off any loose fibres of wood on the surface.
YOU'RE a zither, not a harp.
Simply Amazing. Bravo.
That was an amazing video. Thank you for sharing. I am an arborist, I am pruning a paulownia next week! I also studied music and play a stringed instrument, interest on all fronts! Beautiful craftsmanship.
この方に弟子はいますか？後継者がいなければ琴造りは絶えてしまいますから心配になりますねぇ〜、頑張れ琴職人。
シェアしていただき有難うございます🙏
素晴らしいものを見させていただきました❣️
心から感謝いたしますm(._.)m
Imagine at his age he can still manage to make that art wow your truly an artist you deserve to be awarded
桐の材質を見抜く職人の目利き、そして技と心意気が日本の音色が響き渡る琴を作り出す。素晴らしい映像ありがとう。

素晴らしい❤️
I love Kotos. They sound amazing and so does the traditional music. I've always been interested in how they were made so I'm glad youtube recommended me the video!
I hope there are some in the younger generation who will carry on this art into the future. I would hate for any of this to be forgotten.
What an amazing process by AMAZING CRAFTSMEN!!!!! Thank you for posting such a wonderful and interesting video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Além do som sua fabricação e resultado na madeira são DIVINOS..❤
Beautiful workmanship !!!
Wonderful work ❤❤
Beautiful job making it sir
Just beautiful work 👍🥰
Beautiful craftmanship in dying country.
From California..thank you, sirs, for sharing your beautiful craftsmanship with us. 🥰🙏
awesome craft! thanks
Beautiful craftsmanship
Excellent craftsmanship and very fine details. I love the way they work with woods and their fine details they make. The old man looks like he has been doing this for a long time and has excellent skills.
Yes .... He seems to be getting the hang of it .........
Beautiful work.
big respect
Great video!!!
Nothing more satisfying to me than watching an elder craftsman at work.
wow, que trabajo, muy lindo. Aplausos por esos muchachos y la paciencia que tienen para hacer ese instrumento musical.
After seeing how much work goes into the production it is easy to see why they are expensive. I am still playing my koto that I bought almost 50 years ago.
So just barely “broken in!” …LOL… I bet it is sounding a lot more mellow with age. :) Someday, I hope I will be able to afford one.
From the beautiful to the sublime, as always with Japanese art.
Thank you so much for sharing this superb harp. The Sho Sugi Ban method surprised me here, but when then polisher came in I understood things better.
Top level Nihon craftsmanship...
Never ceases to amaze me.
EDIT: Subscribed.
Its Nipon not Nihon. I am literally an expert in everything Nipon. Soon I am going to live there and work as a famous Voice Actor doing American dubs for Anime.
@@Wooargh Proper spelling is Nippon.
Que arte más bonito es la fabricación de este instrumento, su sonido es maravilloso, admiro y alabo la vitalidad del artesano y su compañero.
Beautiful, artistic and melodic! What a skill and what an instrument!
Watching the masters construct this beautiful instrument, so full of tradition is really a great experience.
ОЧЕНЬ ИНТЕРЕСНО НАБЛЮДАТЬ КАК МАСТЕР ВЫПОЛНЯЕТ ЭТУ РАБОТУ. СПЕЦИАЛИСТ ВЫСШЕГО КЛАСА.
Would've enjoyed a step by step breakdown of the build showing each part in its entirety.
Amazing craftsmanship. Such a pleasure to watch and very relaxing, reduces stress. We must appreciate Masters such as this man, dedicated his life to preserve and pass on this almost lost art.
May you be at peace kind Sir. 🙏
the wood burning is so satisfying to watch
Beautiful to see how this is made
hermosas guitarras japonesa una musica bella curando la usen .
Gran trabajo, maravillo el artesano, gracias por compartir 👏👏👏
Wau !.😊 Fantastic work
The way the burning-and-burnishing process brings out the wood grain is amazing. What beautiful instruments -- they must be played only by the best of the best.
Gdybym umiał na tym grać to osobiście bym sobie przywiózł z Japonii takie cudeńko.
A very clever man indeed 👌
Such amazing work! I wonder what purpose that herringbone type pattern that he chiselled into the inside serves? Some sort of diffusion or something? And how did they figure out that needed to be done? Crazy cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
Admiración por estos maestros artesanos🙏🙏🙏
Precioso trabajo 😊👍
Dois homens profissionais de grande valor
Primeira vez q vi esse instrumento foi no filme kungfuzão, achei interessante e resolvi pesquisar melhor e vi como é produzido.
O som e de extrema delicadeza e firme ao mesmo tempo.
Parabéns aos artesãos 👏👏👏👏
こんな風にして 作られているのですね
木を焼いて作られているとは、驚きでした
私は、娘の名前に 琴という字を使いました
琴の音のように、澄んだ心を持った子に育つようにという願いを込めて、、、
琴は、習わせていませんが、
いい子に育っています
いつか、機会があれば、娘も
琴を弾いてみたらいいのに、、、
と思っています
素朴な疑問ですが、琴は、小さいサイズの簡易版とかは、作れないものなのでしょうか？
標準サイズとは、全然違うでしょうが、
もしも、持ち運びしやすい 小さめサイズのものが出来たら、琴を習われる方が、かなり増えそうに思いますが、、、
きれいな音色ですものね♪
Spiffing work !
Please train the next generation and pass on yr expertise - the Koto world needs craftsmen / women like you 🤗🙏
Me gustan sus obras de arte 😁 👍🏻 ❤
C'est une merveille... et si agréable à entendre...
Merci pour cette découverte instrumentale du koto.
ふたりでトリマーすんのかわいい😂
That was absolutely fantastic! The level of beauty and craftsmanship is awesome! If I ever win the lottery, I will be adding one of these to my instrument collection.
❤ from 🇨🇦 :)
Parabéns aos artesão lindo trabalho divino instrumento a arpa
うはは、すごすぎ、、、こんなに手間のかかるものなのか？たまげました。
Wat een mooi instrument en wat een leerzame video!
I admire the Japanese workers for their knowledge and attention to detail. The western world are slowly realising how the Japanese way of woodwork with their tool design is far more efficient.
Asian planes and saws cut backwards, much easier to control the work object using the body mass.
Dang that is some dedication to the craft.
Good
まさに和楽器！グッジョブ！
Very similar process to make a Chinese seven string Luther 古琴。
Amazing. Totally sounds like an instrument from one of those Asian movies. 😮
По дракону волной, грусть скользит по струне, вот и осень.
ドラゴンの波の上で、悲しみは弦に沿って滑ります、それは秋です。
This makes me want to go to their red light District👍🏻
He, the master, is like a machine of perfection. Just look at the zigzag embossed patterns in the hollow bed of the instrument. There is no equal. Hats off Sir!
1. I am in awe of these men and their craftsmanship. 2. If I tried to do it I would have either cut off several of my fingers or accidentally burnt the whole place down and 3. I don't play it but I want one just because it is so beautiful! Loved it.
Concert Grade 13 string is $3000 to $6000. And you can buy one online.
Tremendo. Siempre nos japoneses nos sorprenden. Aquí desde Perú saludos.
He is so good artisan I guess, I pay his skill won't be a lost technology in the future.
Que excelente y magnífico trabajo!!!
Una verdadera obra de arte.👏👏👏
Me gustaría saber cómo se toca ya que su sonido es muy relajante.
Saludos desde Uruguay
Éxitos!!!
OS HOMENS SÃO UNS ARTISTAS 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don't understand the function of the herringbone pattern on the *inside* of the harp? That looked like excruciating work, and one slip with the chisel would be a disaster - yet it is completely hidden inside??
Maybe its just for improve the sound of the instrument
Admirable con herramientas tan simples, pero con buen gusto, paciencia y delicadeza, se puede sacar algo tan hermoso, no solo en el sonido sino en la belleza física del instrumento.
Fascinante video
明けましておめでとうな気分
Καταπληκτικό μπράβο ωραία δουλειά!!!
I'll have to look at mine a bit closer. I never noticed the details of the instrument.
Bardzo Ładnie Very Nice
If you have any more information, or can direct me to a good source, on the polish and tool they were using, I would greatly appreciate it. Always looking for interesting and sustainable ways to finish wood projects. Thank you.
浮造りが良いな
СУПЕР
Processo de FABRICAÇÃO!!!!!!
若手も、琴の制作で食っていけるように。
SONO SENZA PAROLE...MI INCHINO DAVANTI ALLA VOSTRA ECCELLENTE BRAVURA
I play the koto, but I've never once even looked into how they're made.
Прецизност и внимание към всеки един детайл!
c est sublime
なんと素晴らしいのでしょうか？木目は一つとして同じものは無く美しいですね！ここからまた美しい音色が聴けるのですね！日本人の技術は本当に素晴らしいですね！！！！！！
Công đoạn làm ra cây đàn koto truyền thống thật là nghiêm ngặt
Тонкая работа и звучит красиво.😊
