The Birthplace of Japanese Denim & Stunning, Unique Homes | Remarkable Living 3 | Full Episode

[@robertkcisaw7528]

I own a pair of medium rise Monotaro jeans. The details are mind blowing and the texture of the denim is something most Americans have never experienced unfortunately. Truly wearable art!

[@saptarshismartphone2379]

Old is gold.

[@amira3650]

Hats off to the Japanese maintaining their traditional designs. The jeans would definitely come with a hefty price tag considering takes so long to manufacture one pair. Wow wow wow amazing house with excellent craftsmanship and design

[@geogi_bodies]

Honestly, those artisanal Japanese jeans are not for everyone. They look more or less the same as mass produced jeans like Levi's to the ordinary eyes. But those Japanese jeans are very often selvedge, non-stretch, all-cotton, raw or one-wash, not distressed and has all kinds of little details going into them. The price tag is hefty but so as the fabric (hard to find something below 12oz, except shorts which is great for summer). Needless to say, it is an acquired taste......(but they are still often sold out) P.S. proud owner of a pair of Momotaro shorts and Studio D'Artisan :)

not many of them are doing it. few artisans still around. many towns become ghosttown due to low birth rate. don't expect these tradition to survive for long, many traditional houses have been torned down over the years.

A "shokunin" means "craftsman". In Japan, shokunins are respected so much more than politicians, that's for sure.

5 seconds in and I'm blown away by how beautiful and serene everything is.

[@8amazon1]

I've been to this place, it's absolutely fantastic. Just slightly north of this town is Kurashiki, a town along a breathtaking canal.

[@maTzeprei]

In Germany we call these roofs made out of straw a "Reetdach". Its nice to see this style of homes on the other side of the earth aswell.

CNA Insider never fails to amaze me, always comes up with very interesting topics...

[@peadar-o]

I felt as if I could breathe in the pure air of the thatched roof village. It looked so beautiful and peaceful 🤗😎🤗

[@memopinzon]

Hats off to however scored this, beautiful music. He's clearly a big Steve Reich fan too. :)

[@missbebop7941]

I really love rural areas in Japan. I wish that someday i would move there.. but learnin japanese is really hard~ :')

[@syshorizonenterprises7893]

I love almost everything made in Japan. They do their best to make good quality products. They don't cut corners to sell at the lowest price. Problem is that it is hard to buy things made in Japan in US.

[@maxfb100]

its easy honestly, try a proxy service :)

[@ajadrew]

Loved the thatched roofing!

[@tamikoestomo3275]

That wonderful place simply radiates peace. So enjoyable.

[@cyners4578]

Unlike other countries Japan preserve their culture and tradition with modern science.

[@ttg5165]

Momotaro is awesome

[@punkyoliverio]

A reason to go back to Japan.

[@TaclobanExplorer]

Very interesting content about thatched houses. I always see these in Japanese Photos.

[@alpineflauge909]

[@carrieh2409]

[@craiganczelowitz7225]

2 beautiful Japanese crafts inspired by nature and folklore......then a Singaporean house named after a woman's shoe

[@Iendleasereit]

Momotaro jeans ... can also be found in Somerset313 The Denim Store

[@tanyo]

Village people : I want to live in the city City people : I want to live in the village The world

[@08torero]

It’s wonderful ..... not as Europe that now is an historic Disneyland

[@Kumurajiva]

That house looks like an airport terminal

[@WbZ-sb9si]

(2:14) The "Village People" as of "YMCA" fame? Cool.

[@sheet2095]

Japanese rural area was one of the closest feeling of being into the fantasy world. Why the heck young japanese won't appreciate it?

[@1412Bunny]

because they like being able to make a living. usually rural areas don't have a lot of good jobs.

[@lewiswilliams1893]

I understand and agree with your point. But not everything old is appreciated by everyone. I live in America and wouldn't be impressed by housing from 100 plus years ago.

[@commieskungflu1635]

@@lewiswilliams1893 You have many refurbished over 100 year old plantation houses in the South. You should learn to appreciate your country.

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

Can the owner of the glass house in Singapore adopt me?

[@rogersim1087]

How does visitors learn about their iconic roofs if the place is not open for tourism?

[@vonsassy]

I can not like this enough.

[@rachaelnead4629]

very chamring but they are so dark inside

[@siewgeklee9725]

When Winter arrive how they keep themselves warm while inside the house. Any heater or just the fire place?

[@markgwapo2918]

Fireplace

[@TheShpmusic]

It's a snake paradise, image snakes living on and in your roof.😁😁😂😅😅😆😄👍

[@TheShpmusic]

@I'm from Mars buts that's ok snakes are know to be the devil of the forests. Not sure why out of every animal a snake. 👀

[@TheShpmusic]

@Almost Verifiedꪜ 😜

[@lynneturner3704]

I love the small village with the thatch roofs, but the white house with all the glass is a bit over the top considering all the people who are homeless. The ubre rich are disgusting.

[@StephenMortimer]

He COPIED Frank Lloyd Wright.. google the Johnson Wax Building and the Guggenheim Art Building !!
