The magic of Kaketsugi restoration

[@alaingalois7765]

Oh Madame !! Je suis tailleur depuis 47 ans, j'ai rarement vu un travail de cette qualité ses 20 dernières années Merci c'est juste magnifique.

[@mjremy2605]

Vous avez raison. Travail exquis.

[@deadmanwalking93]

You have a skill of a surgeon! As a matter of fact, the principle of this technique is almost identical to 'autologous skin graft' (taking a part of one's own skin from elsewhere and transplanting it onto an area of injury). In order to minimize scarring, you have to align the graft according to the 'tension lines' of the skin (in your case - the direction of the threads in the fabric). Then it is sutured (stitched) underneath the surface of the skin (makes the stitches invisible, and reduces scarring). How do you do this with no optical magnification???

[@HammyHavoc]

Looks like optical magnification to me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTZlYFrq9WHeKs

[@LeticiaCuenca]

@@HammyHavoc thanks, that makes sense, otherwise it would be quite difficult to do! And even so I’m amazed at such skilled work, it truly seems magical!

[@azbeaux]

I love to see craftsmanship like this. But with. Our throw-away society and ‘fashion’ these skills are rarely recognised. I hope the person who did this gets to see how her or his skills are truly appreciated.

[@gloriaarevalo9163]

Because there's no style, like Italian Moist or designers. If you have a garment with a valuable sentiment, it would be expensive for this kind of work.

[@princessrad111]

Because we can make a new one faster than repairing one nowadays! And time should be the most important resource in life. The real answer is to make more resilient clothing

[@azbeaux]

@@princessrad111 yes. But these companies are going out of existence because of ‘fast fashion’ which is a get rich quick industry and a curse on the environment. I have a piece of this (type of) fabric and it’s cared for and admired as the work of art that it is.

[@pitchycastle]

@@princessrad111 that's the problem, society thinking that only time is the most valuable resource, when really the respect for life, meaning also the respect for this earth should be the most valuable resource. Thinking that our personal time is the most valuable, is exactly what got our planet into this precarious situation in the first place. We are just guests on this planet, we do not own it.

[@SpiderboyN2Jesus]

@@princessrad111 actually, no, I've made a tailored jacket before. It takes WAY longer than running a few stitches around a patch and snipping off the excess threads as shown in this video. Maybe you could make a cheap knockoff in a similar amount of time, but it wouldn't be anywhere near the same level of quality of a properly tailored jacket. It would probably just be a flimsy, unlined, costume piece.

[@guradroid2350]

Amazing! As a clothes maker for 10 years, i never knew that this could be done

[@evasanz3466]

Yoshiko's father was a tailor but had to close down his business because with the increasing of the ready to wear clothes (fast fashion) from cheaper places (China, Vietnam, etc) he lost customers. At the same time he had to feed a family and decided to reopen his business as a clothes repair shop. He taught himself the art of invisible stitching and later on he passed his knowledge to his daughter Yosiko. Both work together.

[@carolilseanne2175]

I repaired a red wool blazer invisibly once, I pulled threads from the inside seam allowances and it worked very well. This, however is another level, absolutelx astounding work! 👏👏

[@eleanor8002]

Incredible skill, so impressive - wish they would teach and value skills like this in our throw away culture

[@twillett100]

My mind is completely blown away!! Magic, I tell you!

[@williamharding1319]

Mine too. The attention to detail is remarkable.

[@ずんだもんX]

素晴らしい！こういう凄い技術を持った人がずっと絶えることのない世の中であってほしい

[@Lee7699]

Excellent work! Very skillful! My question would be what part of the jacket had enough excess fabric to cut off for the repair patch? This technique is similar to repairing hand woven fabric, except you weave in one thread at a time.

[@cocokiss224]

i had no idea repairs like this were possible?! this is really amazing!

[@shiori9202]

Just watched your video in NHK world Japan I can't even imagine how much hard work is needed To think you're following the path choosen by your father and continuing his legacy, I'm so touched. 🤗☺️

[@WendingWind]

Reminds me of a skin graft. I was a bit surprised when you used the fusible tape. I imagine when this technique was practiced in the past they just left the threads dangling on the wrong side of the garment, or perhaps had some other method of securing them.

[@sues4370]

Wow even the different coloured thread doesn't show -this is amazing!

[@laceyunderall22]

This video is a thing of beauty. Thank you.

[@hollygolightly8048]

Beautiful work, indeed. This craftsman is the Michelangelo of textile repair.

[@beardzebub6341]

Wow! Super talented!! What a fantastic way to maintain quality clothing.

[@ruthfarcas9556]

Wow, very impressive! Japanese craftsmanship is so high standard, and well worth learning from. And the speed with which this was accomplished, even allowing for preparation not shown in the video, increases its value greatly. Thank you.

[@teresaellis7062]

It is magic! The magic of refined skill. 😍 That was amazing! I need to give that a try on the next appropriate mending project! I think the hole my son's jeans might work for this technique, though I don't think I will be able to find fabric that matches as perfectly.

[@jellybeanwithwings]

Watched this so many times. So therapeutic. Being a person who enioys craft, and also one who doesn't like to throw stuff away, this restoration technique brings me much joy.

[@ronitsingh85]

I am first of all blown away that someone would go to this extent to do this kind of mending! After watching, its time consuming but can be done with patience and dedication. Who does not want their expensive cloth or something they loved for decades be usable again. Leave it to the Japanese to perfect it! I am always surprised by them.

[@90sFlav]

All my respects for your knowledge and patience about this artwork!

[@elizabethzelaortiz2495]

Increíble...!!! Me encanto nunca me imagine q se podía hacer eso es otro nivel... Muy buen trabajo...

[@veemercer1698]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I adore doing intricate work and will begin learning this method of repair. Hopefully, I will be able to restore someone's much loved item when my skills have been perfected.

[@michealnester3746]

That was absolutely stunning. Wow thank you for sharing that

[@lurenetraut]

[@zoe-annlynch421]

Absolutely stunning! I can’t even see where it was repaired! I am going to have to practice this technique!

[@Olena_Romanska]

Це прсто чудово! Давно не бачила такої якісної роботи. Дякую, що поділились.❤❤❤

[@ObsessiveCostumingDude]

Wow - that is some powerful magic! Thank you for sharing!

[@mjremy2605]

Kaketsugi broken down means Kaket = casket, and Sugi = cedar. Cedar casket from my Google Translate. Maybe something do to with aligning the grain of the wood? This is such exquisite needlework, and so much part of the hand made excellence culture of Japan, from woodworking to food preparation. Just sublime. You represent the finest in human craftsmanship. Thank you for keeping that alive. Domo Arigato, Tailor-san. どうもありがとうございます。

[@antoinettemitchell2888]

WOW such patience and talent. You really can’t tell where that was. That was well executed and I’ve lost skill.❤❤❤❤❤

[@Paddington60]

That is such a good repair, who would have thought that could turn out so perfect, very well done.

[@Rosiulka]

Artistic repair. Congratulations on your patience and talent.

[@nomad3496]

Yoshiko-san! I saw you being features at NHK! You're doing so good by your dad! Thank you for sharing your skills with the world. ❤ Hope to visit your shop soon!

[@josevargas-ew1fc]

Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Entendí como enhebra el hilo en la aguja y como va pasando cada hilo del parche. Por el revés plancha tira todas las puntas hacia adentro y pega una tela con la plancha. Buena técnica no se nota. Lo pondremos en práctica, el mejor trabajo que he visto. Saludos.

[@Soyyo83]

Es impresionante verdad? Estaba buscando algo así para un viejo traje de mi abuelo que tiene agujeros de polilla y me encontré con esta maravilla.

[@annw1395]

My jaw is on the floor! How is this possible? Totally, completely invisible!

[@gvilzavideos7498]

Does anyone know where I can learn that technique? it is mind boggling. Thank you again for the spectacle.

[@MrGoatflakes]

Very nice! For once I can see that I could actually make a repair such as this. If I had infinite patience, time and discipline. Which sadly I do not have ._.

[@pablocruz2022]

Esta genial, primera vez que veo un trabajo así. Me gustaría aprender más

[@mooieplaats]
