Japanese Calligrapher with GIANT Brushes

[@77AlexS]

He must be pretty fit to be able to hold some of those big brushes! o_o

[@mudigno]

This is a wonderful example that when people do jobs that are actually passionate about wonderful things happen. Too many people are stuck in jobs that hate when they could impact society with their passion instead. Beautiful video.

[@Q2Japan]

Grazie Alessio! I totally agree. I hope more people get inspired by Koki's story and work.

[@albertoele2602]

Awesome editing and video Bobby, that was something interesting to watch. Thanx!

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks Alberto! Means a lot :D

[@Win090949]

When you forget the decimal point while entering the brush size

[@Q2Japan]

😂 Thanks for the chuckle

[@GordiansKnotHere]

These calligraphers and their calligraphy are amazing. It's fascinated me my entire life. EDIT: Koki Takehara's work is absolutely beautiful.

[@Q2Japan]

It's fun to look at their galleries eh? Get to see so many different styles and shapes! Glad you enjoyed Koki's work. Cheers!

[@luluchen7944]

Can’t believe I’m just seeing this now. This is awesome :)

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks Lulu!

[@quentinhan5940]

Chinese called Feibai, a classical common skill in calligraphy and painting, the strokes are as white as a dry pen, a sense of flying, a kind of artistic beauty.

[@seeksustainablejapan]

Love this video- "the brush does all the work" amazing modesty! thanks for making this!

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks Joy!

[@artsyebonyrose]

this is so amazing wow. it's so nice to listen to you talk about doing what you love (edit: "you" being takehara haha)

[@Q2Japan]

@@artsyebonyrose haha I'll pass on the word to him!

[@rohanroynameless]

Everyone should do & promote calligraphy in their scripts.

[@Q2Japan]

really makes you appreciate the meaning behind words!

[@lRlElD]

3:39 instead of throwing old wigs away just add them to a stick and you got one BIG PAINTBRUSH! LOL

[@Q2Japan]

Could be a new thing!

[@jessicacleveland5469]

And I was over here thinking it was clickbait

[@Q2Japan]

I can see why you'd think that lol

[@wahabtariq1392]

Bro is yolked

[@evelynmontez3565]

Omg this is amazing😂

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks for watching!

[@theR0NIN]

Hi Q2. For some reason the thumbnail for this video has a red line along the bottom, looking as if it's already been viewed. That could result in some people not watching it, because they think they've already seen it, so I thought I'd mention it to you.

[@Q2Japan]

Wow thanks for letting me know! I actually put the red line there as a new aesthetic but didn't think about the psychological effect. Appreciate it!

[@crystalarigullin8420]

wow that's a big brush that's cool I did it my home 😁😳👍🇯🇵🇺🇸

[@Q2Japan]

Isn't it neat? :)

[@perialis2970]

they also had to make the biggest stamp for the biggest paper

[@Q2Japan]

That would actually be really interesting!

[@fusains-Hitsuzendō]

🙏

[@ojasvi5307]

Nobody Literally no one *Me at 3:00 am Let's learn Japanese* But btw really hard work 🙏🙏 I appreciate

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks! And glad it served your late night needs!

[@Nobe_Oddy]

why was he wearing sunglasses in every shot? is he blind or something? i feel REALLY silly asking this but since it wasn't mentioned i figured i had to ask to find out.

[@Q2Japan]

Hi there! He feels more comfortable wearing them during interviews :) Kinda like Casey Neistat

[@byronalien]

Exactly, Nobe. Soon it was clear that he is not blind - I wondered whether maybe he had some kind of genetic hypersensitivity to light - the way albinos often do.

[@whoopshey826]

it looks like he's painting with the beard of a Bantha lol. wtf

[@Q2Japan]

I had to look it up but wow you're right! lol

[@bardw8792]

[@Q2Japan]
