Mizuno-san is a forging master admitted by the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan. He is the only one in Osaka. The reason that he keeps the workshop dim is to check the temperature by observing the color of fire.

love how serious the Japanese are about everything they do ... such a passion for their craft and their traditions. they seem to have a special name for absolutely everything
It never ceases to amaze me how much patience and attention traditional Japanese craftsmen invest in a lifelong pursuit of perfection. Their work and finished pieces are always stunning.

Hi Brandon. I'm going to an Osaka next week and just found this video. At the end Mizuno-San says to visit him in Sakai. How can I arrange that in advance? Thank you so much!
@@rawjapanart actually no I just randomly saw your video in my feed and I watched the whole thing! The shop and their passion is incredible. Very welcoming! I bought a mioroshi deba and plating chopsticks! I will surely buy more in the future. Best in Sakai in my opinion.
@@nicolasmts3264 love to hear it! And I appreciate you watching the whole interview. Deba and plating chopsticks are a great choice. Meals sure to be delicious and visual!
