I absolutely love how the Japanese can take something seemingly mundane and elevate it to an Art. I appreciate the incredible attention to detail and pride this man puts into his work. That was a pleasure to experience.
When you live in such an automaton society, exaggerating and "perfecting" mundane activities probably mask the realization of living in a society of oppression and monopoly. Thus gives these individuals a (false) sense of validation or existence, if you will. This might sound confusing but I hope there's a few who understand my underlying message.
@@trcs3079 also maybe as jobs get more and more automated, people have more time to indulge themselves n go the length to perfect a skill which doesn't add value in an economic sense n thus would not have been possible say 50-100 yrs ago
It's very much in line with some Japanese apprenticeships actually, in some trades the apprentice sits next to the master and "steals" the techniques by observation.
Weirdly enough I went to school with a Japanese guy that would ask anyone he met that was American " You know Kid Rock?"... The man absolutely loved Kid Rock for some reason.
For everyone making fun of him for the “hmmmmmm” and “hai hai hai hai” it’s just part of the Japanese culture. They do this as a sign of respect to let the person talking know that they have their full attention
Is that why I do that? I am 2nd generation Japanese and I notice that I feel weird if I don’t acknowledge that I am listening... I always yes or I see or ah I see.
Thanks for the subtitles and posting. This is the proper way to shoeshining that you don't see in videos posted in America. The gradations of the matte look to the shine at the bottom. Superb.
Your video proved me how prescious and unique Japanese culture is. You make every, even the simplest work interesting! Your craftsmanship in almost every area becomes an art. Your devotion to your jobs, your humble respect for it, your polite attitude towards other people is so beautifully intense! Now I understand that even shoe polishing can be a professional calling and give the sense of fullfilment! It is great that you take pride in every single detail. I respect and admire your culture of work so much. Greetings from Poland :)
Well said! I visited Tokyo a little over a decade ago and went to a few various neighborhoods. A truly cultural and humbling experience.. I didn't want to leave!
Though shorts are a bit extreme. I usually see my patients in casual formal clothing but footwear… its crocs or Birkenstock for me. Much easier to move around and change shoes while going from ICU to general.
That young man took something that majority of everyone passed by. But he took shoe polishing and made it his own. And became professional. And showed people that their is more detail to be observed in the process. Well done sir.
Things I learned about shoe shining: 1. It's a new room number (wow) 2. Mmmmmmmm 3. It's good to have the same color shoes as your boss 4. Hehhhhhhhhh 5. Hai hai hai hai
When I lived in Tokyo, I learned that when you go to a place like Shibuya, it is very important to look around at all the building signs. You never know what you will find that just pops out. Found some amazing shops and equally amazing and interesting people in them. I really miss living there.
I was actually watching a vloger in a tailor shop having a bespoke suit. On the recommendation below was amother vloger having a custom boots, so I clicked on that, and this was on the recommendation, and the rest is history. (Now you might ask why was I watching a vloger having custom suit? I also just watched the John Wick 2 Prep time, the one where he walk around Rome buying guns, knives, maps, and of course a tailored suit. And that I searched for)
I have no words to describe how amazed I am after watching this video. It is something that should make everybody think about how seriously we are taking what we do.
Base model for the shoe is about 2 grand usd, im assuming the rose gold buckle is extra. This dude stuntin on different level. Also the amount of respect from both the individuals here towards each other and the craft is outstanding.
@@turbocavalli While your comment is true, I don't particularly think its a bad thing either way. For example, when I spent time in Japan, by the time I was ready to come home the formality of their culture felt confining and very ummm...uncomfortable. You can't express yourself in Japan or speak your mind. Cultures are different, but neither is better or worse than the other. It's just different. Another example...many foreigners say that they don't like Americans because we're loud and that's makes them feel uncomfortable. But we're not being loud to make anyone uncomfortable, we do it because that's our culture.
It's a common among many Japanese to interject something that sounds like "ummmm" to us Westerners as pause or 'dead air' when carrying on a conversation. The languages that I am familiar with have a comparable sound people likewise interject during pauses. We are so use to it when we or others do it we don't even notice it.
I have a freelance business in shoe shining and the subtitles really helps. I’ve always had my eyes on the Brift-H Wax Cleaner but i don’t really understand how it works although it is effective. No wonder it took me 30 mins just to clean off 1 of 6 parts of the mirror shine using Saphir RenoMat. Thank you so much. Love from Singapore ❤
Some of the other conversation went like... They use to call him spit shine Tommy, make your shoes shine like mirrors. Now go get your shine box! Nice video and top notch work in all honesty.
I like it, I always liked to wear a polished shoe, respected leathered shoe, and the art of polishing them good. But I must add though, the passion I saw in this youtube, with regard to shoes care, is inspiring, motivating and elevating. Thank you very much.
They look purty. It's funny this guy is so dressed up and yet do manual labor. I have moved furniture for 25 years now and never thought of dressing up for it. I amagine a suit would not last long with ripped seams and all. I can't even wear a watch without destroying it. This guy did a great job on the shoes
This is just one of the reasons why I love Japanese culture.. it’s simply amazing.. and for everyone visiting japan, please read up on their social etiquette and carry yourself appropriately
“How can you reveal that top-secret?” “No worries, nobody can recreate our skills” If I ever go to Japan I will try to get a shoe shine here just because of that line
When I first joined I spent weeks layering small amounts of polish. I’ve since learned that if you just bang loads of polish on and bull it, it mirrors up with only about 5 layers.
Crazy, I use to use a very similar technique polishing my combat boots. The biggest difference is the quality of the leather, the quality of the product and the environment the boots got subjected to especially in Western Europe. It would take me at least 40min per boot. I still polish my shoes. I have 4 pairs of boots and every week they would be a mirror finish at the start of every week. 1 pair only required a touch up since they were my "dress" boots.
Excellent session. The passion is clearly visible for a task a lot of men don’t consider important but from personal experience I can tell you that thus is the most important thing in life. People notice your eyes and then the shoes. In those 2 seconds they make up their mind about you. Well done and many thanks for sharing a great video.
I love this guy's aizuchi (hai hai hai, eeeeeeh, mmmm)! Took me awhile to get used to it but now that I'm back in the US it feels weird not to make those kinds of sounds when talking to friends, lol.

Shame the GoPro footage came out badly due to the fluorescent lighting. It would have been neat getting some of the footage that close. I wish I'd known this had been going on while I was stationed in Yokosuka. I'd been to Shibuya more than a few times while I was there, and I find chasing 'black glass' to be really therapeutic. I wonder if I'd have had a shot at that polishing contest....
Elegant style & great shine to boot . Worthy of military high grade buffing , lol ! They do it nice in Japan , women are impressed , when they can see their image , in our shoes !!!!
You’d be surprised Japan seems to really like rock and roll and rock music, I’ve seen some wild shows in the 90s and 2000s in Japan, the biggest bands used to love going there. Wild crowds.

Japanese work culture highly values the boss and you are expected to devote lots of personal time to your job and boss if you want a good job. So wearing something your boss likes is a good move (most countries have that dynamic a bit, but in Japan it is a lot bigger)

Pues claro. No doubt. But when the Japanese do something, I shut up and watch. Perfectionism is part of their culture, history. Read up on it. And as usual the America/Europe came in and started shiit. Lol. But take the mirror finish. Like cars, you layer the wax on to achieve a deep shine and protective coat.

Until you witness what it takes to achieve this goal; one would never truly appreciate the results and treat their footwear with more respect

I dont know how I came across this video but now I wanna own a pair of dress shoes just to polish them
I love old school things. Shave and a haircut and shoe shining etc. man I wish I was back in the 50’s I want born yet, but it looked so cool on tv.

This is going to be a nice hobby for the weekends.
It’s fine how many times the shoe owner says “mmmm,” and “yes yes yes” to the shoe shiner. A culture thing for sure
One of the things I admire about the Japanese is, they tend to master something. They spend their whole lives trying for perfection.
I’m convinced the guy wasn’t actually there and he just had a sound board the camera man used.
I like the shoe shiner’s choice in glasses. Those frames would never work with my face but they’re good on him. I specially like the gold & yellow print of the frames.
