Tomoko Tsukui Stamp Carving Demo @ LOG.ON Harbour City (津久井智子 - 消しゴムハンコの作りデモ)

Part of the activities during the LIFE.ART 2013 Exhibition Tour. Tsukui Sensei, truly the 'meister' of stamp carving working wonders on a piece of eraser (消しゴム) and demonstrating the art of stamp carving. Amazing.

この極太のカッターで繊細な彫りも全部やっちゃうのが津久井先生の真骨頂というか、職人技だよなあ…… 真似して同じオルファの極太カッター買ってみたけど早々に断念して普通の細さのカッターで彫ってる

[@ClioMako]

My mind was blown multiple times during this video.

[@MaireadreOLD]

I would have loved to see a final product.

[@holohulolo]

+maireadre i would have loved to see the print.

[@pantrocious8181]

that was beautiful and amazing! She carved it so fast and precise!

[@justsayin9965]

Simply STUNNING!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!

[@nataliedillon5919]

The details on this stamp was very exciting to get an understanding on what i may want to do myself, so thank you!! Peace!!

[@sharonfrench1087]

Lovely stamp. Great carving. unbelievable detail. I would like to have seen the stamped image. Thank you.

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

After seeing this video, I googled the artist. Absolutely EVERY link took me to a page that flashed infected virus spamming and it wouldn't stop. Just letting ya know.

[@cynthiayeung6861]

That's rather strange. I never really had this problem as she is well-known artist in her field. Perhaps a native Japanese language website would help? tsukuitomoko.com/

[@danko6582]

I can hear Cantonese... That must be Harbour City in HK! Great work. Swift and precise.

[@susanjones7872]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your process!

[@kimNYko]

So relaxing to watch...

[@victoriabyrne4303]

Wonderful dexterity. And great camerawork too!

[@kilian-one-l]

That complement about the camerawork is sarcasm, right? 'Cause it move around so much at times that it gave me a headache.

[@GR8FLMD3AD]

Did she stain or put a wash on the rubber? It looks like it helps increase contrast to see the carved lines better.

[@nokiot9]

Omg. That retractable Lino cutter they're using! What is that called? Where can I get that exact one? It's like a v cut razor blade! I've never seen one like that before.

[@olaslife]

Anyone else surprise at the dexterity of the cameraman?

[@angelaviolet]

Beautiful, well done to the crafter.

[@avcomth]

I liked how he changes his tool mid-session. The V-knife is much easier to control but it's limiting in small turns and corner.

[@charlesdobbs4726]

You do beautiful work there

[@palettejunkie8246]

Excellent work!

[@jasminepeel6035]

Wow. I’m definitely going to try this.

[@rebeccawong1]

[@0846ぴめんと]

参考になります。有り難うございます。

[@assumpta7cat]

Fantastic!! Please, what brand of eraser do you use in this stamp?

[@patytrico]

EXCELENTE! Thank you for sharing it :)

[@juliexarj]

What is the name of the carving material?

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Can you tell me what tools and materials were used in this video? Thanks so much!!!!

[@cynthiayeung6861]

It's basically just a retractable paper cutter, misc. carving tools and eraser slabs. Tsukui-san is a well-known eraser stamp artist from Japan. Her skills are absolutely amazing.

[@ArchieVenezuela]

amazing!

[@palettejunkie8246]

How much did that stamp sell for?

[@prisillaspace]

perfection!!!!!

[@SusanShriverHowell]

Gereat but I wish the camera person would sit still.

[@cynthiayeung6861]

Hello Susan, considering this was taken amidst a cramped audience at a very public place, I did my best to stay still. 🙏🏻

[@charlesdobbs4726]

What kind of carving block are you using young lady

[@cynthiayeung6861]

Hi Charles, I just purchase whatever is available but they are usually Japanese made keshigomu. The brand that Ms. Tsukui has used (sometimes sold with her starter kits) are called Hankeshi-Kun.

[@pohahmed8691]

فنانه ❤

[@charlesdobbs4726]

I like to buy some of it and where to at

[@ripleyriggs876]

And...........where’s the print?

[@LottieSue]

What kind of tool was that first one?

[@k.s.9821]

A scalpel.
