It Takes over 10 years to Make the Amazing Long Bamboo Flutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2019
- Hello everyone,
When I was a kid, my dad told me about the decline of manpower in traditional trades due to the industrialization and modernization of Japanese society. As a result, traditional products started to become outdated and forgotten. However, there are still young people who dedicate their entire careers to carrying on these traditions. We want to honor them as much as we can. That's why I decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work, using footage from my friends and myself.
Today, this video will be even more attractive because I have edited the script, rewritten the content, added new effects, incorporated new music, included new footage, and created a new piece titled: "It Takes Over 10 Years to Make the Amazing Long Bamboo Flutes."
Long Bamboo Flute: Shakuhachi
This time, our main character is Shakuhachi Craftsman Ohagi Yasuyoshi (大萩 康喜さん) from Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. He was born in 1985.
Ohagi's Teacher: Nishida Roshuu (西田 露秋さん)

It takes 10 years from harvesting the perfect bamboo trunk to producing a flute from that same piece of wood. The video showed the artisan harvesting new material/trunks, but the flute he was crafting later on was not the same piece of wood. It takes 8 to 10 years just to naturally cure the wood enough to be used as a musical instrument. You can kiln dry them quicker, but they become brittle and may crack or refuse to hold a consistent tone (thus the cheap, mass-produced knockoffs you find everywhere).
Once the actual process of crafting the flute begins, it can take several weeks to a few months to finish one, allowing for building, lacquer drying, fine tuning, etc. This process, after the bamboo has been curing for 8 to 10 years, is what is shown in the video.
This is an artisan working at a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation for literally thousands of years. It was a privilege to watch him work.
Thank you for posting this.
Master craftsmen....Master musician, all in one. Fantastic!!
Great video.
I read several comments, especially directed against the title. I may be wrong but the title may have been chosen by someone whose native language is not english...
I've been making shakuhachi for some years and believe me or not, the title in itself is right in many ways. Where I live bamboo needs to grow for 5 to 7 years to be compatible for shakuhachi making (I don't have Phyllostachys bambusoides or madake, so the duration may differ), depending on your weather, you will have to wait up to several years to have your bamboo correctly dryed.
There're some ways to let it cure, the most known is the "aburanuki" process where you heat, with a coal powered oven, the bamboo right after the harvest in order to remove like 70% of the water contained in the bamboo.
But you can also wait for this water to go away with time, 10 years in this case seem to be normal.
Bamboo is like many materials, it has flaws. Waiting is a good way to avoid a cracked bamboo.
The shakuhachi making shown in this video is the "top notch" shakuhachi : nakatsugi shakuhachi. You will need to master the dimensions to cut the bamboo and obtain the right size (1.8/2/2.2 shaku...) then you will have to master the art of urushi based paste, the "ji".
Three kind of shakuhachi exist :
- Ji-nashi (no ji inside)
- Ji-mori (some ji is put inside the bore to correct the geometry and avoid the noisy sound produced when air flow bumps in the irregularities)
- Jiari (the bore is completly corrected to have an optimal air flow).
Urushi/ji don't dry, the main compound of urushi (urushiol) and its friend (laccase) react with the water contained in the air to harden. This process needs time and a bit of heat, to be quick, 70% humidity and 30-35°C. Urushi lacquer will change its color depending on the humidity in the muro box.
Each step of ji paste will need 2-3 days to dry.
All these different craftmanship need time to master, another meaning to the 10 years ? ;)
Ndropazin thank you
Thanks a lot!!!!
It seems likely that they are referring to the length of the drying process, and that if one were to start today it could theoretically take ten years before its finished. European luthiers often insist on wood that has been dried for 100 years. Obviously wood cut now is for future generations.
the people at rolex who make the watches need ten years, and there's some sort of paint brush that needs a master with 10 years of training to make.
In Deutschland sagt man, gut Ding will Weile haben.
There's just something relaxing about watching craftsman work using traditional methods. Reliable tools, quality material, attention to detail and pride in ones work and ability are all that's needed to create something truly magnificent. That and a bit of time.
Thank you very much!
A master-class in how to make something look so deceptively simple, which is anything but. In the hands of someone who knows how to play the Shakuhachi, it becomes an instrument of extraordinary musical expression.
Impressionato come sempre. Siete Magici. Grazie 🙏 Fabrizio 🇮🇹
尺八を作るのが難しいとは知りませんでした。 非常に良いビデオ。 ありがとう
I made several bamboo flutes.
I remember different people saying, I needed to do this, or that, as if they knew about making a flute. I would just ignore them, and continue as I was doing. In the end, the flutes always sounded perfect. I don't know where the skill came from, but it was deeply satisfying to hear them play, their first notes. Knowing they had new, and permanent lives as flutes.
tuning a bamboo based on korg orchestral tuner. Truly badass!
Very nice, extreme craftsmanship, thankyou for sharing this with me. ..
Thank you so much for putting this video up. Its a great honour for me to see this art, its such a deep and wonderful instrument and music.
Jesus, marry the guy..
@@johnperry5396 well, you know most people just express a boring opinion. i thought id go a bit further and give an up for the tradition and people who've preserved this fine art.
Ohhh... flutes!! I was watching this without seeing the title and I thought he was going to make a fishing rod almost until mid ... lol
Haaa haaaaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaaa
At first I though he smoke weed.
quite certain kazu-matsui would feel honored to play instrument from this craftsman.
The videos you folks share, always so calming, Thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!!
A master craftsman . Wish I could have one of like this
His parents and grandparents left the material ready to be used for sure. This is hereditary, it passes from father to son in the same way as bonsai techniques and bonsai pots whose clay rests for decades! Eastern patience. What a marvel of work.
glad you liked it!!
Glares angrily at piece of bamboo. Makes amazing flute.
At the end I thought he was going to play the same practice tune he played throughout the construction, then bam!
Those were just scales not a song, like a warm up where you check every note
Lol !
He should have.
Ku
Without quarantine I wouldn’t have found this gem
Maravilhoso!

so nice.
beautiful instrument.......who knew so much went in to it ?........and that unique sound. i like this.
Thank you for taking the time to document this amazing creation.
Magic . Keep on. Dont ever forget.❤️
Thank you very much!
Thank you.. so wonderful.. greatings from Germany.. 👍👍👍

Magnifique travail digne d'un artiste artisan d'ART !
Fantastic work!
Greetings From Connecticut USA . Very well put together . I enjoyed watching and learned as well😃
Ct in the house lol
Excellent dedicated work that is why people of japan standing in number one place in all fields once again thanks expected more videos on ceramic wood and ivory works
Thank you very much, I'm going to make my best effort!
I certainly can’t understand a word said, but I can respect and enjoy the master craftsman. I have a flute collection myself. But not an Asian flute. They are very beautiful. And sound amazing.
I think my favorite was watching the note perfecting! Tiny bit flat? Dremel! Back to the very EXPENSIVE orchestral tuner.... DEAD NUT!!!!! Takes blowing the note perfectly and to the thousandth of an inch tone hole sizes!
That and the tweaked out face of the dude at the end when hitting some of those notes and wind amounts! That's pretty classic too, Haha! 40 plus years with music and woodworking love affair here, and I can say the craft here is off the chart! Unreal.
Thank you so much for this very interesting video! 👍
I watched this and felt like ten years :))) good art work !
glad you enjoyed it!
Wow.... Amazing. Master. 😍🙏💕
Wow, thank you
For forty-two years I was under the cruel tutelage of Pie-Might, the Tibetan master flute maker. He taught me the exquisite art of making the holes perfect. He really had to drill it into me.
And when you got it wrong you were in for a reaming. I'm sure he had a look that could just bore through you.
@@Nibleswick Very funny! LOL.
Fantastic
So, if I place my order for a flute now I can start taking lessons
and I will know how to play by the time I get that beautiful instrument?
Another example of top shelf Nihon craftsmanship.
Super Video.Danke!
Hello, I'm Peter Barakan and this time on Begin Japanology we will be learning about the shakuhachi.
could not understand a word of Japanese, however, watched every moment. Loved it!
Try turning on auto-captions and auto-translate. I could not stop laughing when mine said: "prepare lacquered peaches for sale"... ;-)
very impressive
this channel is really interesting
I like that there are Japanese subtitles.
멋집니다 한과정 한과정이. 잘표현 되었습니다 고생하셨네요 영상 잘보고갑니다
화이팅^^
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
great , compliments!
🙏 To the perfection..
Thank you.
Now i learn more about the sound. ? If the hole 0.01 mm off line , it's made different sound etc? It's must spot on.
To good thank you.
Things like this, I love japanese people traditions ...
Thanks!
In the end the flute sounds funny after so many years of hard work 😂🤣😁
U may fell funny of their taste of music
Like rest of the world See's Indian's worsping of cow's

almost pulled the trigger on one of these great flutes
Thank you!
Thanks !
Wow😍
*paid the money*
buyer: when can I expect to get my hands on the flute?
Seller: I'v got 2 more to make before I can start working on your order. Just come back in 3 decades and talk to my current 2 year old son :)
What a great business plan!
buyer :😲
@@kombetant6577 2 year old son : 😲
Okay 💨💨💨💨🍀😁🍀the drying making some bit of sense 🐾🌞🐾
I liked the use of the ancient dremmel
Wow. I like this video. The technician laboured too hard to fix small small parts and to create sound in actual scale. I liked the scale tuner also. Cameraman wants to show very nicely that he tood video from severan angles. Love to see this video but if you give below english subtitle it would be easy to understand. *Konichiwa.

Me again: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
Damn, where can I get his albumn? If you seat through the whole 14 minutes of the documentary, you will be reward... So much emotion going into his performance.
So Nice!!

Очень впечатляет ваше ремесло Друг !!!
Работа да поражает мастер, изделие нет, если канал весь зашпатлеван, режущий воздух язычек из полимера, проще сделать вообще всю из полимера, которая будет по звуку такая же, а может еще и лучше. Сам по себе знаю играл на блок флейтах дешевых за 350 р из пластика с хорошим звучанием и на дорогих за 1500 из дерева с лажей в тонах и отвратительным потоком воздуха по каналу. аутентично - да, рационально -нет.
ill try this tutorial and yep gonna takes me 10 years
Those bamboos grow separate from each other, our local bamboos grow in a bundle so digging up their roots is impossible lmao
What an astonishing level of craftsmanship...that you rarely see these days ...the Japanese have been meticulous for centuries in this kind of stuff. Think Samurai swords and their world renowned steel.The sad thing, these skills and crafts are a dying art form all over the world..and i fear that a few decades from now all this will be lost to 3D printing and robotic production lines...i so hope i am wrong....Peace.
It definitely won't be lost, those who are truly interested will never want something robot generated
Incredible
These have got to be worth 5 to 9 dollars.

做工极精致、👍
На протяжении всего ролика в моём уме крутилось одно слово: "ТОЧНОСТЬ" :)
역시 장인정신 섬세하고 대단하십니다''
I find it interesting that most Japanese craftsmen work on the floor and managed to work til old age. I thought the bench was a superior set up.
Apparently sitting cross legged and working is great for your but with promotes lower back strength which promotes lower back health.

When you click a video to see traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the guy break out drill presses and propane torches. Then assembles the flute with bondo and plastic. LMFAO!
It would be great if there were eng sub for the voice over. As is, there only a tiny bit of this I can understand.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Everyone says how easy this is. Okay so when will I expect your video's of you making that flute?
Wait ten years . ha ha ha . If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
Good
well when you add the drying of the wood for 10 years yeah, so all iron parts take billions of years to make from when the iron was formed in a star?
Yeah, clickbait bullshit. Fuck wrote that crap hope they get bombed by a terrorist.
BigBang idiots
no wonder your country is so backward! you"re the reason why japanese hates foreigners!
thx
10 Years? Looks like he did it in 12 minutes and 54 seconds. A new world record!
12:54
I want to this flute.
I thought I would be watching this Video for 10 years
👍👍
😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
he should have played the Theme from the show "Kung Fu" "when you can snatch the pebble from my hand it will be time for you to go"
I have a fake one along with fake Samuari Swords on the wall of the Japanese tea room I built in the garden for my wife. It's just a 12 x 12 room with floor to ceiling glass panels that can be opened to make an open air room. My wife meditates, drinks her tea and does her plant stuff on the back outside wall, the rear has a roof overhang of about 6 ft over her planting tables. and she makes me turn over her compost pile since it caught on fire last year LOL
These flutes look and sound awesome, I have one from when I was in grade school (at least I think it's a flute) My sister says it's a recorder? Well you blow into it and it has holes for your fingers that change ther tone and I can barely play the Grinch theme song "your a mean one - Mister Grinch"
You did all that for your wife. Cool.

Interesting, but any good wood instrument has its wood dried for that long or longer.
13:15 When you enter the woods.
A very complicated job that requires precision and patience
love those traditional power tools. Han dynasty angle grinder
what a snide comment! Please don't
Great craftmen ship

Ok, thank you!
Hello,how can I get this flute.Are you listed with any online shops like Amazon,Jumia or any other?
