    You know, even when this has a priceless traditional value to be maintained and every piece made has a unique spirit in it, you have to admire how mechanical engineers were able to replicate all these movements into bolts, gears and pins, and now you have machines that can make the most complicated brading endless yards long in seconds.

This is the practice of preserving what is believed to be important. Every thread binds us closer together. Thank you for this.

      Katherine Uribe yes we would certainly survive as a species. But the only way we are supporting 8 billion people is with industrial agriculture. If all the machines that produce fertilizer and herbicide and pesticide and ship that stuff and the machines that do irrigation and planting and spraying and harvesting and then shipping the food around the world. If they were to suddenly stop... like 90% of us starve within the year. And of those that survive almost all of them will be farmers and especially subsistence farmers. Not skilled craftsmen or any of us city people.

    I love this video, but I have some mild criticism bring up.
    It's a shame that we can't hear the craftsman describing (through subtitles) how the craft is carried out. The piano music is nice and all, but I can't help but I kind of wanted to hear his voice.
    Also, on a more practical level, if his voice is audible, that means a kind Japanese speaker might be able to provide translation, and then we'd have a lot more details to work with.
    Just something to think about. I really enjoyed the video otherwise.

    OK, but while it's amazing he has this knowledge & I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful attention to detail, I feel this type of repetitive task is better suited to machines. I mean once human has created the knowledge, then program some machines to do the the repeat, repeat, repeat part!
