Tokyo-ginki is known as the Japanese masterpieces made of silver.
Gin and ki are silver and shape in Japanese respectively, and Tokyo (in particular, Taito-ward) is the main producing center at present.
It may sound strange that Japan has a specialty in that area, for silverware seems something for nobles in Europe in the middle Ages. However, the history of silver in Japan can trace back to even the year 916 or possibly more and Japan was one of the biggest producing countries of silver. Tokyo-ginki is such a historical artifact.
Tokyo-ginki is really famous for the shine, which lasts very long. Why is it everlasting? Actually, there is a qualification for silver to be the material of Tokyo-ginki; it should be 92.5 % purity.
The Japan Mint classifies silver into 5 grades, 100% purity, 95%, 92.5%, 90% and 80%. The class of Tokyo-ginki is at least the third, but this never mars the elegance of this art; actually, silver is so soft that 100% purity is really fragile. Therefore, the artisan combined silver with other metals to make it much more durable.
On the other hand, ISO 9202 and JIS H6309 place 3 grades about quality of silver, 92.5% purity, 83.5%, and 80%. In this criterion, the Tokyo-ginki belongs to the highest class.
By the way, even so, the silver of Tokyo-ginki sometimes tarnishes because of oxidization. In this case, put toothpaste on dry cotton and rub the surface lightly with it. After that, clean the surface with a cloth, and the shine will come back.
==
You may worry about how to distinguish Tokyo-ginki from other silver works. Yes, it seems really difficult to tell them from the others without the profound knowledge - but don’t worry. Actually, the Association of Tokyo-ginki made an institution to certify Tokyo-ginki: the real Tokyo-ginki has a hallmark on it.
The hallmark is impressed to certify that the piece is authentic Tokyo-ginki and of high-quality silver, and this also helps many common people purchase safe silvers (bad metal affects your skin badly, you know).
Of course, due to this mark, Tokyo-ginki is getting more and more renowned as a brand. The more famous Tokyo-ginki becomes, the more trustworthy it gets. As getting more trustworthy, the brand will become more prestigious and so will the artisans.
The hallmark is also an embodiment of the pride of the artisans; every hallmark of Tokyo-ginki requires other marks of the artisan himself to clarify who made the piece. Therefore, they can’t make a lukewarm piece.

Thank you for this great upload.
I put English closed captions on because the female narrator is so soft spoken. I had to turn the CC off because I couldn't stop laughing. The interpretation of her words was hilarious.
Thank you for uploading such beautiful metal artifacts that we would otherwise not get to see and the process used by modern craftsman to create beautiful works of handcrafted art.
I also love seeing how things are made. I was able to place your video in several of my playlists.

Fascinating.
Japanese craftsmanship is second to none
Using as many tradition methodes and old tools this I try to stick to as much as possible more Art than just a throw away item.
Excelente los 3 son unos maestros de primera categoría los felicito Nunca pensé que este trabajo era totalmente manual como existe tanta máquina me sacó el sombrero por su calidad y finura para ésas bellesas de trabajo. GRACIAS por compartir tan bella labor.
Thank you!
the use of the drilling tool, which is an accessory from my childhood, applied at 16:56 minutes is impressive.
Que hermoso el trabajo que realiza felicidades, saludos.
Im absolutely enthralled with silver, its so much better than gold imo
Among the ancient art of Italian and Japanese manufacturing are the only techines that still today after 1057 years continue to fascinate the world, Thanks to these great Masters we can admire and have unique pieces
Italians & Japanese have a great DNA thread that unites them
Es inspirador ver como los japoneses en una isla apartada harían todo con tanta pasión y reverencia a la perfección, cuanto nos hace falta al resto de la humanidad para merecer el don de la vida y apreciarlo de tal forma. Saludos de Panamá ouz.
Thank you very much!
☺☺☺😊
👏👏👏👏👏💖 Estoy maravillada!! Me encantaria tener un juego de tè asì. La pieza calada pequeña de metal cual es su utilidad ? 🇻🇪🇨🇱
I found this video very interesting. I wanted to use the Closed Caption but found CC was useless due to many bad Japanese to English word translations that made it hard to follow the narration.
cant help but think, whatever you do dont lose a single tiny speck and sliver of that silver
OK, Thank you!
Yikes! Amount of silver? Those rollers are serious gear, only for a major workshop and would cost big money now.
20:20 what the name of this processes not the tool but the over all pattern part
The proceeding was piercing which consists of drilling and sawing. At the 20:20 time stamp the process is called inlay. After inlay was set then came soldering.
@@arikkraft5755 thank you :)
@@17hmr243 Welcome

very bad camera used, very blured
Ladys and gentlemen. This was filmed with a potato or by a carrot.
Hockeys is the biggest new difference while using your head against tissue radio. If you don't do that, you'll go and come over there. I think the government is not good. The whole banana barking child Oh, is n't the best corner to hold on?
I love these google translations!
🇪🇨👍🏻
Booooocommercials 👎👎👎👎
The translator is super trash, get it right Google FFS
Comments from English speakers here also need help.
