Let's take a moment to appreciate that he cut through that plastic without cutting the fabric underneath. That's a very unnoticed skill that probably was the most difficult to master. Although how you put mother-of-pearl on fabric and make it stick and flex is far beyond my comprehension. That's some straight-up magic.

[@jenniferakridge5056]

I think like this will be used as a hanging, no put into a kimono.

[@coop5329]

"He" didn't do the cutting. That's someone else, a woman, doing that exacto work. Difference in hair style.

[@Sajuuk]

Now we know why Kimonos are so expensive 😮

[@elizabethfelsch9886]

@@jenniferakridge5056 He actually turned this design into a cushion. You can find his website at the end of the video. His work is very expensive but for obvious reason

[@user-sc4ih3nr2s]

Exactly, that's what I thought.

[@dandy193]

There is something very satisfying in watching a process like this. As an artist I really appreciate the workmanship and skill that goes into this. The Japanese pride in quality and perfection amazes me.

I was born in Japan, we left there was I was 3. My mom bought a lot of Japanese furniture & art there. She even bought me & my sister kimonos, I am 64 & still have mine and watching this video makes appreciate it so much more. Japanese have always been great artists.

[@tardismole]

I had no idea that kimonos were made like this. I thought it was made with a few passes of ink, like silk screen printing. This is far more detailed than I had imagined and far more beautiful. This is art. Full respect.

really you have seen too many chinese movies.......

[@lizzfrmhon]

@@lifeby2044 Well, that was either ignorant or racist. Kimonos are Japanese, not Chinese. And, since I've never watched a Chinese movie, your opinion is irrelevant.

[@lorddiablo8575]

Very delicate, precise, require lots of attention and patient as well as time consuming work .... That's why a piece of Kimono is so expensive !

@@cyclonicleo I'm glad, for once, for something being that expensive. They deserve it!

There was a geisha with kimonos worth $10,000 USD, $3O,OOO USD. I can’t even imagine how much her collection is worth, she had a lot of kimonos.

The Olympic Games Kimono Project started in 2017, and finished in 2021, has produced 213 kimonos from participating countries worth approximately 2 million Yen or roughly $13.500 each.

AMAZING!! Japan has the greatest artists in this particular field. Craftsmenship is highly valued in Japan!

[@danilovelasquez2539]

Indeed, and the Kimono Project linked with the Summer Olympics 2020-2021 is undoubtedly a proof thereof.

[@lindamesa5122]

I've always admired the Japanese for their amazing artistry, who doesn't! Their attention to detail is unsurpassed !! Now we get to see the artist at work and that's just delightful! Thank you!

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

The culture demands a high standard in everything they put their mind to. Perfection is their trademark, no seconds in this business. Truly remarkable.

[@gabbyaineauer3357]

I would absolutely love to be a Kimono artist. It's so pretty. This does make me wonder how these used to be made before the plastics and things were a thing. I'd love to see the ancient techniques in comparison.

[@clementwymiens7955]

I was thinking the same thing! And like, what about tapes? They sure use a lot in this workshop. The process was probably quite different 🤯

The wonderful thing about the Japanese is their attitude toward any masters...they are held with respect and cared for. Whether silk, pottery, sumi-e, metal works, paper making, all are in the care and support of the Japanese...government and people. If we don't respect our traditions we will become a people with amnesia.

[@faithmeekins4741]

This so beautiful… the craftsmanship, the detailing and the patience that goes into each step. Breath taking.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

I can not think of any words to say that would do justice to these works of art. The word "stunning" has been so overused that it has no meaning; to even say that I am in awe, seems trivial and inadequate. So, I will simply say thank you for posting this video.😊

[@tracyjohnson2992]

This video is absolutely mesmerizing The craftmanship is exquisite and very precise. I have seen a few kimonos in my time but this was absolutely amazing to watch. I did not realize that the fabrics were actually hand painted right from the beginning The attention to detail is amazing and i am sure everything in these designs has a meaning to it a story as such of why the specific flowers and cranes are used in each design. It is stunning. I am sure the price reflects the attention to detail too. but well worth it.

[@TheMakoyou]

織物でも箱でも建築でも、日本人は完璧を目指すために、繊細でかつ面倒くさそうな職人技を見出していくのが凄いなと感心します。

Фантастика! Если бы я создавала такое я бы ощущала полноту жизни. Редко кому удается как я вижу по жизни найти себя на 100%. Смотришь на Таких мастеров и ощущаешь гармонию между создание и тружеником. И результат восхищает. Не процесс как учил Станиславский а результат. Когда все говорят :» вау!» Значит ты нужен! Я рада за них! Это прекрасно!

[@ayakotami3318]

Watching Kimonos and Yukatas being made has my heart. I have an Antique Yukata from the 1700s and you can see the craftsmanship put into these gorgeous garments. I'm glad to see they're still being made by hand. 😊

All I can say is wow.. I have no other words, just WOW.. When you see a kimono or this kind of fabric, you immediately know that there must have been an immense process behind it, but I don't think you truly realize just how immense until you actually see it like this. It's amazing.

I never know where my middle of the night you tube videos will take me. I've gone from cat vids to auctioneering school to rug cleaning. Tonight it was cat vids (I seem to start there since I'm a cat person) to quilting (since I do that) to Sashiko embroidery to this. I knew it was pretty involved and that's why some kimonos are SO expensive. Now I know why. These artisans are amazing.

[@fuchsfarben]

Can you imagine wearing something that has literal pearl inlays?? So wild. I think if I could see the kimono in person I would cry because they are so beautiful. Wonderful work!❤
