I think the most impressive thing about this guy is the patience he had to make all those arrows in his lifetime. Most people couldnt do this because of the redundancy.
Thanks to this deeply philosophical approach to arts and crafts, Japan now provides the best motorcycles and cameras in the world. That's to name just two things.
These sorts of videos demonstrate cultural differences. Can't help but think that the northern European mind is not wired this way. You see it in chefs once in a while I guess but aside from that, it is a pretty much "get it done mode". While it is easy to appreciate this guy's patience and artistry, it is not easy to comprehend it.
Would've loved some subtitles to know what the gentleman was saying. I feel I missed an important part of what he was doing. Seeing it is not the same as him explaining why he was doing what he was doing.
During my youth I grew up among a variety of Master Craftsmen and since I was drawn to Archery (pardon the pun) I learned how to make an arrow from an Arrow smith who makes the arrow head and attaches it to the shaft.I also learned from a Fletcher who creates a flight and attaches it to the shaft. Eventually I learned how to make the bow from the Bowyer and how to use it.
I wouldn't mind having a couple of those arrows. But only if I didn't have to watch them being made. If I want tedious, I'll go out and sit in my car on the freeway. ;-)
I would be afraid too shoot the arrow it’s functional art and this craftsmanship is great to watch. I grew up in South Dakota and loved going to Museums featuring Native American arrows and bows.
I feel his passion for arrow making......I used to stay for a couple of arrows days :))..... Premium arrows :)) have premium prices and for that reason it's a dying craft..... Making an arrow can take 10 minutes or some days (that if you have good wood)
I would love to have a dozen with obsidian heads they say that if you get good set of bamboo shafts you will like them but I can't speak a word of Japanese but I know what he's doing and he takes it to a higher level. Good video great master
It's really interesting this subject. I see other videos here on youtube that I'd love to see with just English subtitles instead of machine speaking. Then an English title and we're ready to go
I don't know why I feel like this man is speaking in a different form of Japanese, maybe an old form of Japanese. Still this is an amazing an inspiring work.
I tried with the auto-translate, didn't work too well. He kept saying he was a doctor who corrects the distortion of the morning, sets fire to baseballs and hits other people's houses. Would love to see a more natural English translation; his work is beautiful!
That perfect moment when you look down to admire the arrow protruding from your chest, and bow your head in respect to the craftsman whose name is written in gold upon the shaft.
What if this man lived during the Sengoku Jidai period. What if his Damio lord gave an order. He are going to need arrows for an campain, with in one month taking his 30 000 troops were at least 5000 are bowmen. Each man are expecting to carry at least 30 arrows. 150 000 arrows at total. This guy would probably still sitting and making them by now and 100 forward from now. Maybe that is what he are doing? ;)
With the amount of work put into each arrow, I figure these particular ones are only affordable to use on assassinating kings, VIP´s and high ranking officers
💬👍👌👏👏👏 - BTW I grew up on the upper banks of the Clark's Fork River. I'd make bows and arrows from willow and slate. I filed official "looking" heads for the arrows from slate (brittle). The Mayor of Deer Lodge, Mt. ran the fairgrounds and kept His Bramaha "Bulls", & Cows in a herd across the river. He bought some buffalo and put them in with the herd. I managed to get an arrow to stick in a bull for a couple jumps❕ ☺🤗😁 Yup🤠 G~G.
These are meticulously crafted and balanced sets of four made for ceremonial and traditional Kyudo - Japanese martial arts archery. The Rolls Royce of arrows, essentially. In feudal era Japan they'd be expensive sets made for lords and samurai to practice with. In times of war where large armies needed many arrows quickly, they'd be mass produced without such attention to detail.
Even in medieval europe there were mass production quality weapons and craftsmanship grade weapons. Swords for example : The first takes an afternoon to pour into a mould, one day to cool down and slightly temper. The latter takes weeks to fold, shape and perfectly temper. The same applies to every kind of tool or weapon used. It even applies to present day stuff. There are screw drivers sold for 10 euros for a set, that break when you use them on an actual construction site and there are screwdrivers in my own workshop that are older than me and my dad combined, which you can use to pry open car doors. Samnurai would've rather waited for their swords to be ready but katana were also mass produced. It all comes down to production method and the actual application of the piece.
Well with that dedication and dicipline they already behead your ancestor. Stop eating cat so much. Go outside your house and take a picture, and then google japan. After that stare at those two picture until your brain grow. Yes my english is bad. zero fuk was given. And yes fuk japan too. Now bring me a good insult.
Sam Singh. Didn't notice the hole in it at first . the European ones are typically a metal square or round with a blunt pyramid point and diagonal hole ...
Not at all! If you've ever made your own wood arrows you'd know how much work it takes to get them straight and true. I love and respect his meticulous craftsmanship and attention the the tiniest detail.
The main purpose is still to kill. Idolising such an art is pointless when life is taken. That is just a Karma making enterprise that lasts a lifetime.
@@eddydiyartcraft6780 A Kitchen knife has a place in the kitchen preparing food to eat. The same killing argument can be applied to japanese weapons of war... as in swords.
Bamboo can truly be used in just about everything. From food to homes and even weapons. I love this. It’s very hard to get it just right.
Right, bamboo very useful
A truly skilled craftsman, an honor to watch such rare skills shown here!
glad you enjoyed it!
Unlimited dedication, master bamboe bow craftsman.
👍
Wow. Master Sugiyama-san, you create things of beauty. It is as if each one of them has a life or spirit of its own. Truly magnificient
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think the most impressive thing about this guy is the patience he had to make all those arrows in his lifetime. Most people couldnt do this because of the redundancy.
Wow that is a true artists at work.. That was totally mind blowing of how beautiful that Arrow came out.
Amazing traditional skills in Japan, loving all your videos, thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!

Enjoyed the video and gave it a Thumbs Up
A true craftsman, you have my respect
Great man.... !!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful craftsmanship, be very proud of your work.
How much love he puts in each arrow!!
And in battle, thousands of arrows are abused and broken, some finding their true love in to someone’s heart.
During my youth I grew up among a variety of Master Craftsmen and since I was drawn to Archery (pardon the pun) I learned how to make an arrow from an Arrow smith who makes the arrow head and attaches it to the shaft.I also learned from a Fletcher who creates a flight and attaches it to the shaft.

A great effort, congratulations
Just one arrow is a work of art, and he's made thousands of them...
Outstanding video series. I love this one!
Glad you enjoy it!

Agradecido por estos videos.
Un Saludo.

C'est de l'orfèvrerie ! ....👏👏
Japanese perfection ♥️👌👌💗💗💗
Pure pleasure to die from such a magnificent weapon.

Yes
Siete degli Dei. Fabrizio 🇮🇹
Look how the arrow went through the wood. Now, imagine getting shot by one. Ouch!😨
Such dedication.... 1000 likes.
This is so very, very, VERY cool !!!
Sure wish i could've understood anything that was said. 😕
this man probably made a million arrows
I don't know why I feel like this man is speaking in a different form of Japanese, maybe an old form of Japanese. Still this is an amazing an inspiring work.
Thank you very much, he speaks Japanese in a local language
Yep cool beans.
Is there a version of this with English subtitles? I feel I'm only getting half of the show!
I tried with the auto-translate, didn't work too well. He kept saying he was a doctor who corrects the distortion of the morning, sets fire to baseballs and hits other people's houses. Would love to see a more natural English translation; his work is beautiful!
Would love to see his technique for sharpening his tools…
有一種被這箭射中是多麼榮幸的事
All that work to shoot once
When this arrow is shot at you...omai womo shinderu
😍👍🏾🙏🏾😁🏹
!!! TOP !!! TOP !!! TOP !!!
"Bring in the rock"
I wonder if the guy with the arrow in his chest, dying on the battlefield, ever thought how long it took to make the arrow?
such a pity there is no subtitles. all those legendary wisdom gone.
arrow master craftsman?
Fletcher is the word.
its called embellishing a resume.
Can you please add subtitles, thank you
are these the arrows that would say "your general is dead"?
Is there ANY possibility of getting translated or translatable subtitles?
Are there other craftsman like Sugiyama Masamune that have youtube videos? Maybe on the Japanese side of youtube?
Is the water merely a carrier/lubricant for the sandpaper?
Or are there other properties in the water that do something for the bamboo shafts..?
I think that improves the tensile and flexural properties of bamboo shafts
if i was killed by that i wouldn't even be mad....
be better than a sharp stick in the eye i guess
That perfect moment when you look down to admire the arrow protruding from your chest, and bow your head in respect to the craftsman whose name is written in gold upon the shaft.
jay_frank_ how would you experience emotion in death?
Lmao !!
Right ?!
@@quackpond the assumption is made of a non-insta-kill-shot
English commentary would have made this much better.
Which verity of bamboo is it?
What if this man lived during the Sengoku Jidai period.
What if his Damio lord gave an order.
He are going to need arrows for an campain, with in one month taking his 30 000 troops were at least 5000 are bowmen.
Each man are expecting to carry at least 30 arrows.
150 000 arrows at total.
This guy would probably still sitting and making them by now and 100 forward from now.
Maybe that is what he are doing? ;)
:)
Please…can I request contact detail of this TAKE-YA MASTER?….I would like to ascertain the price of a set x 4
Thanking you in anticipation
Would love to know what he is saying, very precise and tedious work by an obvious master
With the amount of work put into each arrow, I figure these particular ones are only affordable to use on assassinating kings, VIP´s and high ranking officers
For sure these ain't no regular battle arrows that get used by the thousands

I was feeling fine until I took one of those arrows to the knee...

Great, no subtitles !
👊👏🙏🌏🌎🌍💙
Strange to make a documentary without subtitles, half of the meaning lost for the audience 🙄
sorry for the hassle!
Was he related to the legendary Masamune at all?
Not at all, did you mention to priest Goro Masamune who is recognized as Japan's greatest swordsmith
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts yes, I meant Japan's legendary swordsmith
.......... only to be ripped to shreds from the lawnmower after I lost them.
Wonder how it was done in times of war?

pllleaaase subtitles
What is the cost of one arrow?
Its cost around 1000 $ for one
@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts wow then better to frame and hang it on the wall as a showpiece rather than shooting it 😁😁😁
Can you contact me and let me know how much a set of your arrows would cost me

English Subtitles please
Amazing skills but I don't fancy sitting on the floor all day much prefer good old workbench
Takes all day to make single arrow. If you going to war please wait 2 years. Only in Japan .
Even in medieval europe there were mass production quality weapons and craftsmanship grade weapons.
Swords for example :
The first takes an afternoon to pour into a mould, one day to cool down and slightly temper.
The latter takes weeks to fold, shape and perfectly temper.
The same applies to every kind of tool or weapon used. It even applies to present day stuff. There are screw drivers sold for 10 euros for a set, that break when you use them on an actual construction site and there are screwdrivers in my own workshop that are older than me and my dad combined, which you can use to pry open car doors.
Samnurai would've rather waited for their swords to be ready but katana were also mass produced.
It all comes down to production method and the actual application of the piece.
Well with that dedication and dicipline they already behead your ancestor. Stop eating cat so much. Go outside your house and take a picture, and then google japan. After that stare at those two picture until your brain grow. Yes my english is bad. zero fuk was given. And yes fuk japan too. Now bring me a good insult.
Try to sharpen a pencil with a blade as best as you can. He is making arrows and does all this by hand, let that sink in
It can kill...
The master has a hole in his head
What is the arrow with the blunt drum shaped end used for ?
It is probably a signaling sound arrow.
Sam Singh. Didn't notice the hole in it at first . the European ones are typically a metal square or round with a blunt pyramid point and diagonal hole ...

Those fingernails tho
