Meet an Excellent Young Barrel Maker: Rice Power Surprises Everyone in This Incredible Video

[@johnnydingo8680]

Mr. Harada is a skilled craftsman with new ideas. It is good to see he wants to keep the tradition going, but also good to see he wants to try new ideas. After all, the world is full of changes. Loved watching this video. Best of luck Mr. Harada. 👍

Instead of choosing industrial adhesives or animal-based glues to save time and effort like most others, he still opts for rice glue, a natural and safest adhesive. I see an old-school "shokunin" craftsman in him. His skills are honed daily, and most importantly, he possesses the strongest spirit I've ever seen in young people. Watch till the end, you certainly learn more from him.

It's impressive and wholesome to see young people learning old craftsmanships and then try their best to not let this precious craftsmanships disappear 🤩 Far too few people do this nowadays ... it's seems to me that too many young people don't want to get their hands dirty during apprenticeship / work 🥺

Beautiful work. Amazing skills and patience.

Whilst watching, I kept thinking how time consuming and thought how the process could be sped up using modern manufacturing techniques. Yes, it would produce something functional and reduce the price but the more I saw, the more I realised how much of the maker's skill and heart went into each piece. His finished work offers something much more than mass produced items.

To put it simply, tradition of the craft is why most Japanese will do it the way it's been done for hundreds of years. Truly amazing really.

Hundred percent appreciation, Fabulous, yes, food keeps in it fresh from pollution. Mostly restaurants are using these types of barrels. 🙏.

I have a lot of respect for that young man. It makes me feel like when I first started doing tattoos when I was just starting to learn. I see a lot of myself and him, hes a good man.🙏

Amazing work and such a dedication to ensuring that the skills of the past are not left behind. I commend your dedication, your zest to learn and your quest to pass on your knowledge so the following generations will still know about how to make beautiful things. Lovely work, you've inspired me to try making a barrel myself.

Very beautiful video. Very well explained and shown! 👍 I think it's good when young people are interested in the "old" trade and/or learn it too. 👍💪 Unfortunately, it's not the case here in Germany, the old professions are slowly dying out here. 🙁 There used to be a series >The Last of His Stand

Wonderful process and craftsmanship, but the bandsaw usage at 7:09 looks pretty terrifying to me... Having fingers that close to the blade and with sleeves that loose... I know for many it's fine, but personally, I think that's a poor standard. Wonderful Craftsmanship though indeed!

[@LeonardoSNogueira]

He has all fingers, so there's nothing to worry about 😅

[@hkkhgffh3613]

Hmm, the old fashioned master seems not excited...

[@rock_machine01]

Sorry this isn’t that hard. And it’s a dying trade. But good on him. Hopefully he’s in a mountain region somewhere where this will be utilized for centuries but I doubt it..

[@LeonardoSNogueira]

Today's culture doesn't appreciate too much traditional methods, but I think that is important to keep then alive

[@BRAVOBLUEZ]

This guy is amazing, I'm kind of upset at the master because I may not know anything about rice bowls but his rice bowl version looks amazing to me but then again it maybe it has to be thicker on the top. I don't know anything about rice bowls. But this kid is gonna go really far. Hes really talented and determined.
