"Sheet Metal Craftsman" who show their skills in Kyoto

The main character this time is YASUSHI YOSHIDA, a Sheet Metal Craftsman.
What he creates from a single sheet of copper is a "praying mantis."
In addition, he is a craftsman who has been making insect copper plate work for more than 10 years, such as beetles and stag beetles.
Sheet Metal in Japan is said to have its origins in making ornaments for hairpins, copper coins, and gold coins.
In fact, YOSHIDA's main business is "architectural Sheet Metal" that constructs roofs and rain gutters for houses.
In addition to ordinary houses, he has worked on a wide variety of Sheet Metal works, such as the ceilings of restaurant kitchens, shrines, and shrines that enshrine JIZOUSON.
"Copper plate insect work", which uses a copper plate that he uses in his daily work, is crafted in units of 1 mm to bring out reality.
Such elaborately made praying mantis has gained a good reputation, and was selected as an award item for "TOUROUYAMA", which is famous for its mantis mechanism at the Gion Festival.
In addition, we will introduce YOSHIDA's efforts to try new expressions using copper plates.
