Part of what you need to know is what wood he is working in !!! my first guess is Boxwood , the white pieces in traditional Chess sets are made from boxwood !!! The Black are from Gabon Ebony !!! These woods are almost as hard as stone & will retain the carved shapes for hundreds or even thousands of years if stored properly !!! A scalpel / razor sharp tool is required to work the wood & skill with great care to protect the hands etc... Some netsuke use to be made of the different types of ivory , I have read that Hippo & walrus were the best to carve followed by whale & elephant !!!
I am going to try to create one. I already have made a sphere. Hope i can have some success with your instructions you shared on this channel. Think you created 3 here. I probably will fail but i need to
@@netsuke I will work on this very slowly amidst my other projects. I finished 6 chestnuts now. In the process of coloring 3 of them. Thank you for answering always it stimulates and helps a bit :)
Thank you or your reply. I realise it is a chisel. I should have made myself more clear. What is that kind of chisel called? Sorry I was so vague. It was so exciting watching you work - I just wrote quickly without thinking! It wasn't at all clear what I meant.
There is currently no website with a collection of works for sale. I have sold some pieces on 'minne', which I mentioned earlier. Other works I have created are on Twitter and Instagram. Many people see them and negotiate with them.

木彫りをやってみたいのですが、木材はどこで手に入れるものなのでしょうか、安く買える場所やサイトなとがあれば教えて頂きたいです。
どのような木彫をするかにもよりますが、書かれている内容から察するに根付というよりは一般的な木彫りを念頭に置いてらっしゃる様に感じましたが、それならAmazonの木彫用木材（桂など）は気軽かと思います。いろんな木を見てみたいとなるとwww.mokumoku.co.jp/index.html#goodsなどの専門店がいくつかあるのでみてみるといいかもしれません。
Simply amazing 🤯

Failure is always a good experience. It is important to work to identify which part of the process failed. Let's try without fear of failure.

Incredible
😳😳I’m aww struck !! Simply amazing… so glad you dubbed in a voice, all the more effective. I’ll follow you for sure.👍😇🇺🇸
Thank you. I am busy with exhibitions for a while, but I will try to make another video.
I’m very happy to see a channel created by a Netsuke carver. I will follow your work genuine interest and admiration!
Thanks for the comment 😊
Muchas gracias por tu clase, aprendí mucho estoy muy agradecido🐵
Thank you for sharing this technology. There is something of the ancient carver masters living on with you.
Hello, wondering what species of wood is that you carve? I’ve carved many netsuke in my past for collectors and at times I use Japanese boxwood.
I am using Japanese boxwood.😊
Hi! Really nice work! May I ask you what kind of wood is this? Is it boxwood? Ty🙏
Yes.BoxWood
Oh by the way beautiful work!
✨🐭✨ 👶👏
Amazing work.
Bravo!!!
😍
É muito bonito, e muita dedicação à arte
What is the tool used to carve the circle?
It is the chisel that plays a major role as in 5:53. But whatever blade you are comfortable with is fine.

I call it "Tataki Nomi." It is a tapping chisel.
Thank you so very much@@netsuke
Beautiful
Excellent!
muito bom
Excelente maestro!!!! Enhorabuena🎊🎉
😆
Очень красиво.
Спасибо за урок 👏👏👏👍
根付は良いですよね😙素晴らしい出来に惚れ惚れしました😆😆現在も職人さん居るとは驚きです😱
ほぼ絶滅危惧種ですがなんとか。とはいえ先はあまり明るくは無いですね。
@@netsuke そうなんですね😅古い物には高値ついたりしますけど新作は限られた需要何ですね😃物にもよると思われますけど一ついくらぐらいなお値段何ですかね？それにしても職人さん減る一方で良いんですかね日本は😗伝統文化の廃れや工業の分野の廃れも心配ですよね〜時代の流れとは言え情け無いです
かける時間や細工によりますが、簡単なものでも10000円くらいはしますし、かなり時間を掛けたものだと10万は超えます。ただ一生物なので世代を超えて継承する事で様々な物語がうまれるかなと。特に三重の伊勢根付は実用品として製作されているので基本頑強で100年は持つものかと。😀ま、職人といえど人によって技術は良し悪しあると思いますが。今年は6月に三重で伊勢根付の展示があります😀
@@netsuke 展示会等も行われてるんですね😙魅力的な世界ですね
👍 Gracias maestro por tu clase magistral.
👏👏👏👍
This is just absolutely lovely…do u sell your creations? Where can we buy them?
I also trade directly, although it takes time as I am not used to it.
I also sell on 'minne'.

Thank you… I’ll definitely take a look.
Do you have a website with a catalogue of all your works that can be purchased?
There is currently no website with a collection of works for sale. I have sold some pieces on 'minne', which I mentioned earlier. Other works I have created are on Twitter and Instagram. Many people see them and negotiate with them.
Most of the pieces I have made are on Instagram. However, some of them have already been sold.
You make the process look so effortless. Definitely a true master!!
Thank you very much. I am very happy. Your words give me strength.😊
amazing!
