      Has its good and bad sides, if you're forced into doing something you don't want to learn. But if you're willed to, you can't find a better teacher than your ancestors

    The way the performer explained how he is not moving by his own, is like previous performers are moving his body for him was very touching, the guy was full of emotion. The swan boat was cute. Awesome video, you did great promoting this place.

    Oh my god! I got to visit that paper craft shop with my taiko group a couple of years ago and we met Hashimoto-san. We later brought him out to my hometown in Maui to perform at our local matsuri. I’m happy to see he is still so lively and full of energy!!

    A human puppet show! He was definitely filled with joy and spirit! I had seen a show a while ago that spoke of how the Japanese master craftsmen were getting old, and in order to get younger people involved in traditional crafts and arts, the government funds them so the history and culture is not lost. I think that is great, and wish more countries could do it.

    The swans were beautiful to see, but Mr. Hitoji stole the show. It's great that he's carrying on a long family tradition. Back here in the States he'd be dismissed as just some weirdo, but what he does is part of the culture there and it's just plain fun.

    Fun fact about swans: The sound they make comes from their wings when flying and not from themselves. Ironically they are sometimes called 'mute swans' even tough they are very loud in my own experience.
    Also, every swan in England belongs to the Queen.
    [The last one is not verified, it's just something I got told and I'm sorry for the randomness of this comment.]
    After seeing this video: Ah, I think it's so amazing that they still pass on these jobs from generation to generationa and I am *so* impressed by the art on the daruma :o
    Both yours and his actually. Obviously his way better, but it's his job anyway, and I think for your first try it was really good. Painting with small brushes is both nice and super complicated, so I feel ya xD
