    Greetings from Michigan. What, no mindless host to spout nonsense, no wacky music to crescendo at the prescribed time, no fake storyline to keep me engaged? Imagine that, a real craftsman showcasing his skill, talent, and artistry. This video was thoughtfully shot and edited. Thank you for sharing this wonderful project.

    Always a delight to watch. He even clocks his screws. The score, as always, so perfect. So well placed. No one makes videos that come close to matching this quality. The inclusion of real life, Shiro, nature, leaves, fruit, time to take pleasure in life, like a walk with a good dog. Folks this is ART. appreciate every moment. Because you have all the time in the world, until you don’t.

      @@timmyrohr3200 All screws are in the same orientation - horizontonally or vertically aligned. Small detail but with flathead screws it can be quite negatively impactful to have them out of alignment.

    Dovetail and miter joints are two of the most challenged for any woodworker. Combine these two techniques into one joint requires zero tolerance in every cut. Thank you for sharing your amazing work. Appreciated- From Australia

    Some of your videos inexplicably seem to bring tears to my eyes. This is one of those. A perfect picture of a perfect life that few people get to experience outside of there escapist corner. If the feeling it gives to me on watching is any close to what you feel while actually living it, which I doubt, but still, if it is, you must be one of the miniscule portion of people, who are actually happy. I envy you so much, but I'm also glad you share it with others. Thank you.

      MT Yankin in japan is it common to become a master when you have a good master. i always liked the tradition of japanese craftmanship, in other countries like germany there is a training of 3 years and only when you do this other people respect you as a woodworker, i don't like this system. In japan you become a woodworker while working as a assistent from a master and only when the master is satisfied you can call you a master, this can be 10 years or longer. Nearly no one you can find good woodworking anymore, in germany there were extremely good carpenters between 1800 and 1900 before the industrial woodworking began. At 1800 to about 1840 we call this time Biedermeier, you can google this and this are furniture completely made by hand without any electrical machine, there a great masterpieces, the carpenters worked at some pieces 3 to 4 months. This furniture are 200 yrs old and even today this furniture are absolutely fine. For example you can see a furniture from the Biedermeier here www.antik-greef.de/referenz/ref172g.jpg . Today woodworking in germany and in a lot of places are extremely sad you put some chipboard together, do some paint over it and screw the pieces. Additionally as a professional woodworker you can nearly pay your apartment and your income is way to low to make a living of it, only few people can do this anymore.

    it's a rare piece of work that elicits a spontaneous rush of joy, but looking at that close up at the end; the perfect miter, the perfect dovetails, and the perfect little chamfer easing the sharp corner made me laugh. how in the world...? all i can say is, you aren't quite human in your woodworking skills. not quite a god, but certainly more than mere mortal.

    I'd watch Ishitani make anything. "ISHITANI - Making a Bowl of Oatmeal".......Ishitani gathers wood in the forest with Shiro, fires up his traditional wood burning stove, grabs a hand carved bowl off the pristine counter. Chie gets tight shots of the oatmeal bubbling then cascading into the bowl, the steam is rising, then she sets it all to the perfect musical score. We all choke back tears and completely forget oatmeal is not really that great. We get inspired, we're gonna recreate the magic! So we make our own bowl of oatmeal the next morning. But.......the water is heated in the microwave.....Ding!......and it's instant oatmeal, poured out of a little brown bag. Damn.
