Thanks for showing this hidden gem.

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks for the kind comment!

[@theR0NIN]

Fascinating! I love your content on traditional Japanese crafts (and how they're being modernized). You've done it again! Thanks for the links, too.

[@Q2Japan]

Hey thanks for always tuning in!

[@Q2Japan]

I will consider it a compliment toward me and Kurashiki Ribbon 😂 thanks for watching!

[@60frederick]

Wonderful! I have enjoyed watching each second. The video link was shared on Fb.

[@Q2Japan]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you've enjoyed the vids :)

[@EssenceofJapan]

Awesome piece, as always!

[@Q2Japan]

Yo thanks man! I think you'll like the kintsugi video later next month!

[@JK-nh6jp]

Amazing. I’ve always thought about getting them in my house. My dad grew up in Japanese house, always had a lot of stories about the local tatami shokunin

[@Q2Japan]

Oh cool! Yeah I hope you get to!

[@JK-nh6jp]

@@Q2Japanwill you make a video about tatami makers? Or is it already uploaded? Btw I arrived from your miku Japanese podcast video.

[@Q2Japan]

@@JK-nh6jp nice! Thanks for listening to Miku's podcast! And maybe I will :) I'll look into it!

[@77AlexS]

So much detail in their work!

[@Q2Japan]

If only I had a microscope lens 😂

[@KokoroInt]

That was awesome! I’ve spent a fair amount on tatami’s, but mostly be thrown and rolling on them :). What a great artisan family, hopefully they can survive as they diversify!

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks Michael! And yeah i never really considered the work behind the Heri before. Let's hope for the best for these types of family businesses!

[@vicentelopez4738]

Wow that’s crazy how something so overlooked could contain so much time, work, and beauty 👍

[@Q2Japan]

Right? Glad we can still witness such work :)

[@ahmosis_vezo]

It’s really cool. Actually I was looking for a video like this because I’m thinking about doing a japanese-like interior design for my home and I was thinking about putting tatamis on the floor. And I wanted to know if the embroidery could be made with different colours other than green (purple for me) and designs. Now I know thinks to you 😊

[@Q2Japan]

Nice! I hope you find the right designs for your ideal setup!

[@ahmosis_vezo]

@@Q2Japan i designed my crest in a japanese style. I made some researches to define what I could use or not and I came up something nice 😁
