Unintentional ASMR 🖼️ Traditional Japanese Printmaking (brushing, explanations)

[@TroyBrophy]

There seems to be some confusion about why he rubs the baren on his face. A new baren is oiled (traditionally using camellia oil) to lubricate it so it moves smoothly across the paper. A well-used baren is often lubricated using oil from the printmaker's face or hair.

[@xFRaCTuR3x]

Liked for visibility, Thanks!

[@omamawin]

i run a needle through my hair for the same reason: oils. smoother sewing.

[@tacocatt6808]

Troy Brophy Lol also because of the static electricity and if he didn’t do that it would attract the paper and minutely make it drag.

It's impressive to think that this process has probably remained unchanged for decades or centuries even. There's no modern technology involved here.

Agreed, but when I first started to listen to ASMR, any ASMR video would work for me (as long as it had triggers I liked). Now it's all over the place. Unintentional ASMR works like 70% for me. Amateur asmr is also works often.

[@merdab8]

Logan Stroganoff This. Thank you for putting it this way. When people do asmr and purposely slow everything down and tap on every surface they touch it actually gives me the opposite feeling. It's absolutely forced. Before I found this channel I would speed up the intentional asmr videos because they would stretch them out while doing everything in the slowest possible way. Even the food ones are done weirdly slow. Those ones actually make me cringe. Especially the binaural ones that would go from ear to ear. I even shudder internally just thinking about it.

[@Ogloboi]

spot on. a person manipulating paper or typing on a keyboard artificially will never be the same as the real thing. the ears, the eyes and the mind can tell the rhythm and the dynamics of the sounds are not real, and thus the effect will never be the same as a video like this or as a bob ross class (to me, the ultimate ASMR).

[@AndragonLea]

For the same reason that old paintings, cashmere carpets and old sports cars are expensive and valuable - scarcity. The very fact that a printer can spit out 100.000 copies in the time it takes this guys to make 10 is the reason why this work has value. Someone actually sat down and did all of this work for you. If you're not the kind of guy who appreciates that, you're actually in luck! You can buy this very print, machine printed, for a dime. ^^

No one takes pride in their possession or crafts anymore. Everything is replaceable and therefore nothing is sacred." It's pretty obvious if you think about it, but hearing it from someone else put it into perspective I guess.

[@tigermunky]

May I ask a question? Have you ever bought any such prints? Have you ever bought any independent art? Have you bought any art that wasn't mass produced and sold at a generic store? If your answer is NO, you are part of the problem you are highlighting. I'm an artist, designer and illustrator. I cannot count how many times I have had this conversation; Person: Wow, your art is amazing. You should sell it! Me: OK, do you want to buy it? Person: Umm....well....I....umm And then these people wonder why such arts are dying off. If nobody buys the art, the artists end up working in an office cubical. Artists need money to eat.

Anyone else wish there was just one long unedited video watching him make these? I think I'd actually pay just to sit in his studio and watch him for a day, I'd be so relaxed by the end!

[@nat2057]

You'd love David Bull then!

[@tabbyorange1107]

David Bull makes videos like these, he did a video with a 3D mic some time ago that gives a similar feel

[@ctwest3601]

He's a professor at Wesleyan University in CT, you can actually take a class from him, although college tuition might not be the amount you planned on paying =p.

[@marchosiass]

Instead of relaxing and closing my eyes, this actually got my interest and finished the whlle thing. Truly an artisan

[@BestUnintentionalASMR]

I think you're gonna like this :) I found this interesting (the amount of effort is quite insane), and the brushing sounds are quite enjoyable to me (not sure why he scrapes his face with it though). Thanks to the viewer who recommended this!

[@DaddyGflexNuts]

Best Unintentional ASMR awesome! Might I suggest looking up some interviews with Archbishop Rowan Williams. I've zoned out a few times with that man's voice.

[@BestUnintentionalASMR]

thanks I will:)

[@chronos801]

I think he does it to put some of the oils on his skin onto it so it'll slide easier on paper

[@BestUnintentionalASMR]

@Space Carrot thanks, this is very nice!

[@Truebells24]

Thanks for posting it!

[@coloradodafronteira]

Woodblock printmaking is indeed very interesting. If anyone wants to know more about it, I strongly recommend David Bull's channel, he's been living in Japan for decades now and does this for living. His videos are pretty interesting and they are also a nice unintended ASMR.

[@coloradodafronteira]

@BLOODMOON VIKING didn't know that, I changed the text. Thanks!

[@EggBastion]

YES

[@nat2057]

YESSS I love David and he's the reason I looked up videos like this lmao

[@ASP1114]

Muchas gracias. Lo buscaré

[@boppob1343]

Its insane how much work goes into it, definitely not efficient anymore lol, but makes good framed gifts. Ive bought from David plenty of times.

[@iiiian7]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this video. Both to fall asleep to, and to calm me down when i have anxiety. ♥

[@ruthycreates5252]

Mr. Thank you for preserving and showing us the art of print making. You have fascinating process. I truly admire the japanese people for preserving their rich culture.

[@Podbursky]

Hell yeah. this is my old Sumi-e professor from college Keiji. Crazy to have this pop up

[@Truebells24]

Wow thats really cool! I was shown this video in one of my art classes and I forwarded it to this channel. Pretty cool coincidence. Did you work with print making like this or other art?

[@TheProdigalSaint]

[@NhatHuyNg]

In addition to his incredible craftmanship, his English is actually very impressive, given that on average Japanese are not very good at English. Especially for a artisan like him, who has little need to work with foreigners.

[@FrankQCMTL]

It's amazing how everything lines up even after all this printing

[@unrealbullet]

i love it thank you so much for your efforts, and a thanks to the original owner as well

[@corinnetene6829]

Looks like it's a lot of hard work. Truly beautiful artwork! 😍

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

This is beautiful to watch. Much gratitude to the artist, for sharing his printmaking skills with us.

[@diekje8728]

I saw a large exhibition of Ukiyo-e in Brussels and it is breathtakingly beautiful

[@BestUnintentionalASMR]

+Diekje sounds great would have loved to seee it as well

[@williammacewen88]

Diekje its a very technically skilled craft as you've probably seen

[@NeurogenicMT]

He rubs the barren on his face because the oil from his skin makes it easier for it to glide over the paper, making for a smoother, more reliable print.

[@ohok1187]

George Martin it’s natural oil.

[@danielstoyanov3420]

Fucking hell had scroll down so much to find an explanation

[@mynamejeff8401]

@George Martin what

[@wege8409]

That's right, the bamboo absorbs some of the water from the paper, creating greater friction, so in order to counter the effects natural oil can be used. It's a pretty traditional method, lots of times people use other oils to do the job.

[@orfamayQ]

My grandma did that with metal knitting needles but not on the face but the scalp, like scratching your head. Of course today the materials for knitting needles are different so not really needed any longer.

[@gryphonaeo479]

This stuff is incredible... I love Japanese craftsmanship. The skill it needs is absolutely insane.

[@gardenlover9663]

Great knowledge of the English language. He is such an accomplished person. Respect.

[@GAIUSJAKE]

a master of his craft, truly impressive. the skill from some of these people in the japan is incredible.

[@CaptainSpork7]

I want to know what camera they used to film this. These images are tack sharp! Beautiful!

[@BurnoutWien]

i think its more about the right rendering of the video instead of a badass camera. You could film with one of those "RED" cameras, but if youre render settings are shit, your video on youtube will look like shit.

[@aserta]

Probably a Canon from the previous generation, but from the top tier.

[@tullochliam]

Export settings

[@corinnetene6829]

Truly amazing quality! 😍

[@gb-nz]

They used a film or digital camera.

[@ocean9137]

Definitely a good find. I'm gonna look into this style; not only for the ASMR, but for the stunning art. 👏👏

[@EggBastion]

psst! (David Bull)

[@sint5990]

I’ve always admired the Japanese culture of doing things right. It shows in major but also in the most minor of details. They’re masters at step-by-step, perfect execution of the current task. I find Japanese woodworking to be mesmerizing due to the skill they possess, but equally for the way they carry it out. There is much to learn from that type of pride and dedication in one’s work.

[@jivity1129]

I could watch an entire series from this man

[@rahstara]

That sounds so cool!

[@EV1LSN0M4N34]

I came for ASMR but stayed for this amazing art. Watched the whole video and was truly blown away, this is awesome!

[@johnrie18]

I really love videos like this, not just for the ASMR but also watching someone explaining their art, their craft, etc. The combination is just captivating.

[@MagiFTW98]

Where are the comments complaining about his English?

[@KronixArts]

Kyle Harris that's what I was thinking everyone's like "stop mocking his English !!" But I don't see any comments like that.

[@JadeSim]

Kyle Harris turn off "top comments". The only reason you don't seen them is because too comments is turned on automatically on KZbin and you're only seeing the top most liked comments which are defend the guys English.

[@AL-SH]

Yes, some countries with rich old traditions have amazing hobbies, Japanese, Greeks, Persians, Chinese, Egyptians, Italians, to name a few

[@Ricky-zf9cv]

@@AL-SH But I would say Japan is the best at preserving their culture and practicing traditions.

[@AL-SH]

@@Ricky-zf9cv I agree, though the youth are very into the western culture, there are still places deep in the country where the Japanese culture are alive and well. As an Iranian I'm very upset to see there Persian culture fading out and away from our society.

[@Ricky-zf9cv]

@@AL-SH Yeah the youth have moved away from their traditions and culture. Which is kind of sad, but I guess this is just the result of modernizarion, you win some you lose some.

@misa smith who hurt you?

[@gobinagache9560]

I keep coming back to this video. So impressive. I can’t get over how casually he lines up the paper on the block when it seems to me this is the most vital step. He spends more time addressing the amount of paint on the block. A true craftsman.

[@deenibeeniable]

He sure is wearing nice clothes. If I work with any kind of art materials, or spaghetti sauce, for that matter, I have to wear a hazmat suit.

[@tracyglasper5177]

What an interesting and beautiful art form! I love to see things like this, even though I don't have the patience to accomplish it

[@davidoswald5749]

What he does is incredibly precise, I could never do something like this, but it's so cool to watch.

I trim my make up brushes of stray hairs the same way. I studied Ikebana in Kyoto. In my first class, spent an hour getting the flowers and stems just right after painstakingly observing the all of the rules involved. My teacher walked up behind me and then cut the heads off my flowers. I thanked her.

This is one of the most delicate art I know.
