"Shokunin", which means "craftsmen" or "Meister", is a commonly used word for those who perfect their field of expertise, whether it's a sushi chef, traditional arts maker, furniture maker, etc. The Shokunins are one of the most respected types of people in Japan, definitely much more respected than politicians XD

I must visit Japan! I am completely in awe of these traditions.

It's another world. Why don't we value our few remaining master craftsmen like this in the West? The traditions and methods are being lost. It's so sad. This video is beautiful. I'd happily watch an hour on each of the crafts featured.

For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh. I like to draw whatever think and feel.

Amazing skills that deserve to be seen. Thank you for that. Just one thing though. Could you make the text last longer bc I struggled to read it in time and kept having to rewind to read it again.

$1000 for a brush? i'll stick to the cheap ones on ebay
@KendallM02192 жыл бұрын
I see why you would say that as 1,000 dollars a brush isn't feasible for a lot of people including myself. But the point of the video was to show the artisans practice a craft that is thousands of years old and how they still do it today. Isn't it crazy that there was a time when most things were made by people who had studied their whole lives to make them?

the types of people who purchase those kinds of expensive brushes are expert calligraphers who require the perfect brush for themselves. each brush is custom made to suit the client

@@KendallM0219 It is insane but it only started to phase out around the 1980's to mid 2000's.

I love how the Japanese seek perfection but I wish they would seek perfection in modern technologies like making the perfect robot or the perfect smartphone
