The Village has been Carried out Production of Kiri-Geta for Over 100 years | Craftsman: Yamagishi

Hello Everybody,
For this month, a lot of people who loved my previous videos have asked me to show them the skills of the great master artisans (very few people alive) and even older but they’re still trying day-by-day to pass on traditional values to the next generations.
#woodworking #japanesewoodworking #japanesesandal
To thank and honor them, we decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work from the footage available from my friends and myself.
Everything has been redone. I have edited the script, rewrote the content, new voices were recorded, new effects work, new music, new footage added and a new creation is created as follows: "The Village has been Carried out Production of Kiri-Geta for Over 100 years | Craftsman: Yamagishi"
Today, this video will probably be more appealing because of the appearance of Master Kiri Geta Craftsman: Yamagishi Chūji-san (山岸忠治さん)
“Kiri Geta” is traditional Japanese sandals made with paulownia wood. Sakae-Mura's Kiri Geta (Traditional Japanese Sandals)

Finally a woodworking video about wood and not bamboo which is a grass not a wood.

[@lawmanlawreaper]

Love just sitting back on a chill mid afternoon with a hot cupa and watching a craftsman doing his thing thank you.

[@JustAnotherCFA]

Sure beats watching road rage and neighbours from hell videos.

[@blipzero]

i so want a pair ...

[@69mickswagg]

People really dont know what hand made means. It has nothing to do with what machine tools you use. As long as it's not made entirely by a machine on a production line, its hand made. As long as the machine is just a tool, and you are the one controlling it, its hand made. The use of a skill saw in the making of furniture doesnt mean a dresser isnt hand made. The skill saw didnt make the dresser.

[@leehaelters6182]

Goonie, thanks for this very astute observation. I think that you are not a professional craftsman yourself, but understand it all, so perhaps you are a talented amateur. I only say this because you mention a skill saw, as this is not a tool that furniture scale makers probably would think of as emblematic. I wonder if you have read some things by David Pye?

[@legend-vh3pi]

no youre wrong, in woodcraft, handmade is usually taking place as using only power tools!

[@69mickswagg]

@@legend-vh3pi nope. I was right.

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

@@legend-vh3pi that is literally the same thing as using industrial equipment. Maybe if your argument that if it was hand drills etc. Non electronic machines, perhaps it would have some merit.

[@pentuplove6542]

In The Netherlands we have Klompen / Clogs. Worn in summer and winter. Few Western countries continued used wooden shows.

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

WOW, that's very cool, I'd like to see it once!

[@pentuplove6542]

Clogs are cool in Summer and warm in winter.

[@pentuplove6542]

@@WoodworkingEnthusiasts there are videos on youtube of one man who never made clogs who now makes clogs. They are made by machines following a mold. The clogs are wet as shown in the video. The maker blows into the show with water coming out. The clogs dry out.

I seriously wish I had equipment to fairly well make my geta for me. One pair of geta is taking me 24-48 hours. Not counting breaks.

[@ahmadfishnish4100]

Very nice 👍👍👍

[@leml2832]

For 1. I'm surprised that these would have been made using machines... 2. Imagine wearing these in the snow. Impressive chisels btw....

[@joynazarini5128]

Good!

Thanks!

[@johnsweeney6072]

Here in Australia 🇦🇺 we insist on our double plugga’s

[@niklar55]

As below, I've never seen chisels quite like that before. Its logical really, a slanted blade will give a much smoother cut, and probably require less force to perform the cut. I'm curious about their side 'guides'are they removable? If not, its difficult to imagine how the chisels are sharpened. Maybe I'll try making one out of an old chisel to see how it functions, compared to a normal chisel.

[@leehaelters6182]

Nik, I think that such a skew chisel with raised shoulders for pilots would only serve you for the single purpose that they were created for, paring up to a fillet in very soft and favorably grained wood.

[@Book-bz8ns]

The skew chisel has been around forever. Nothing difficult about it, if you can work with a square chisel you can work a skew.

[@niklar55]

It's not a plain skew chisel. @@Book-bz8ns

[@AlanaeImontae]

I've noticed that no one ever shows them tying the back part of the hanao😭😭😭. That's the only reason why I'm hereee

[@RoseKindred]

I have wanted a pair of these for the last 20 years. Sure I could probably make one now but it is not the same as owning a piece of traditional craftsmanship. They are beautiful, but I am afraid that in today's climate I would be accused of cultural appropriation (not kidding) and all the social harassment that goes with it now.

[@ebbios]

OMG...screw them. People will not shut their mouth. Do what you want and live, buy, and wear whatt you want happily. Hell....im not japanese and im gonna make one and send them to you just to piss these stupid people off .....but i cant since im a dirt poor carpenter. lol

[@halahala2886]

yeah people got offended far too easy these days

[@TAO495]

I have grown up wearing those getas and zoris (made of rice strow). Those getas are great on snow or rainy days and comfortable.

[@AlanaeImontae]

Japanese people aren't usually offended by "cultural appropriation" as long as you wear it correctly which.. LITERALLY means its not cultural appropriation💀. You can wear geta with virtually anything really, just learn the differences & the histories behind each of them first so that you won't get embarrassed😅. You have hiyori/masa(2teeth), pokkuri/okobo, tengu (1 teeth), 3 teeth & etc. Some tall, some short, some for winter, rain and some for summer. There's really a lot of different kinds🖐🏽😂. These are two teeth, very common. People even wear them when gardening lol. (Edit: Forgot to add. Womens geta are rounded while men's geta look very rectangular. But I'm sure western people wouldn't really care about that part these days💀)

[@RoseKindred]

@@AlanaeImontae Thank you for that information. It was interesting. I honestly thought that they both wore rectangular ones.

[@philchiu1711]

jeezzmfhhhh no words !

[@p4radigm989]

cool sandals. I ordered some Geta on Amazon in Europe, but they are made in China not Japan. I wonder where I could buy original Japanese Geta... I hope I can walk in them well. Otherwise I'll just use them for Aikido training, to walk between dressing room and the gym.

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

Have fun!

[@niklar55]

Please note, you have a ''typo'' in the title. In _''The Village has _*_been_*_ carried out production of KiriGeta for over 100 years with Paulownia trees grown in deep snow has a beautiful grain.''_ The _''been''_ is not required.

Do people even wear these anymore?? I know if you've never wore them they have to feel weird to start with! Like trying to walk on stilts Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also

[@johnwayne2103]

Yes they do, for ceremonies and young girls who dress up in Kimonos. Even old Mamasan's wear them.

[@johnvelas70]

I knew a Japanese lady who never wore western style clothes at PSU, she'd wear these outdoors year-round.

[@danamarcotteseiler7423]

Yes people do still wear them, also people still wear Dutch wooden clogs / klompen

[@MikkosFree]

Amazing craftsmanship. But can anyone tell me if these are actually comfortable to walk on?

[@vivekkhavnekar]

Definitely not!!!!wood is hard material. It will never absorb vibrations while walking.

[@merlinmagnus873]

Nope, but they are a staple of Japanese dramas. Boy and girl go to a festival, The girl is wearing these to look good. Two hours later, she has blisters and can't walk or one of the straps breaks. The guy has to give her a piggy back ride back home and she realizes while being carried how strong and dependable he is. Sappy romance ensues. Watching J-dramas and not running into these scenes is like jumping into a lake and not getting wet.

[@gratitude-asmr]

I have a pair and want to wear them all the time. They are the most comfortable pair of sandals ever!

[@leehaelters6182]

Some have more sculpting of the sole than others, and other evolutionary design features.

[@AlanaeImontae]

@@merlinmagnus873 Dramas aren't.. based off real life😭😭😭

[@tacticalant3841]

“The comfort of handmade sandals”?? Its a flat block of wood with no contour for foot. The rotary planer at 3:00 was pretty impressive though.

[@WoodworkingEnthusiasts]

It has a comfort feeling of wearing because the weight and hardness are symmetrical. I'm not pullin’ your leg just give it a try some day.

[@tacticalant3841]

Woodworking Enthusiasts - maybe all have the chance to try it someday. Im sure my feet are ruined by spending years in shoes.

Well you have to use your hands to make em

How much for a pair? American dollars.

[@AlanaeImontae]

A bigger size would be difficult to find if you're looking for authenticity but I don't know what size you wear😂. The prices vary greatly though. I've found some that fit me for $7- the hundreds. Check vintage websites for the cheaper. But if you don't care about authenticity, there's loads of cosplay websites that sell them.

[@bpetnoi1472]

Handmade is a bit misused here. Seems there are more machines being used here than hand work being done. hand·made /han(d)ˈmād/ adjective made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality.

[@69mickswagg]

Hand made has nothing to do with using machine tools. As long as it isnt a production line, and a person made it themselves, its handmade. The machines are just tools. Not the maker of the shoe.

[@ccccen]

what a waste of wood with so many shoes in the world.

[@readysetsleep]

Basque Espadrilles are pretty awful, can't imagine toes in a pile of horse manure back in the 1400s. And the rain when the straw soles sucks up all the moisture from the puddles.

[@ccccen]

I'm saying about a nice trunk of wood and yet you wasted hours upon hours just to make a stand for shoe as a display case, they could have bought a metal rack for displays and that wood could have been sold for wayyyyyyyyyyy more for other better things

[@joesemansmmr41]

Use modern machine and than use hand.

[@leehaelters6182]

@stan sorensen, yeah, I caught the way his feet were one set of vise jaws. No different from bracing a workpiece on the bench with one hand. Something else. A sculptor friend once showed me a souvenier he had from a bazaar in Morocco. It was a turning made by a craftsman seated on the ground. He told me that the man pumped the spindle by bow with one hand, grasped the handle end of the tool with the other, and guided it to the work with his toes!

[@skaana454]

They are definitely not hand made
