Thank you!

I like the phrase "habitual efficiency."

Thank you!

Respect from China. We have lots of similar traditional craftsman out there, but Chinese did not pay more attention to it. We are losing those precious tradition and craftsman. Japanese show us how to make that beautiful traditional craftsmanship open to the world.

It was mentioned in a movie i recently watched n so i thought I'll try to make one too. I guess not..

ShN Fatehah I remember watching ‘Your Name’ and I thought those braided bracelets were pretty cool

@@mrn1566 yup i saw it there too

i was hoping too but i guess i need to learn this from them in person

😀😀.......I feel you......clearly not for the faint hearted!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Same here..

I can hardly make a 3 strand.

Thank you!

@tyvek05 not everybody have that kind of stamina

@@vavaiva4080 - Then those people are incredibly lazy grasshoppers instead of hard-working ants. This is an easy hobby once you get the gist of it.

@@MeanOldLady yes

@@MeanOldLady easy my ass....i have been doing kumihimo bracelets for 3 years now, and i still get panicked when i made mistakes you know, more cords means more patterns means more sequences means more prone to mistakes.

Dio Vidi Putra I don't think they were saying people are lazy for making mistakes, but more so for not wanting to even try for fear of making those mistakes/ effort expedited on fixing a wrong weave.

Vincent Martin same! it has the same great artwork and style!😉

Me too

Same here After watching that movie i tried this kind of stuff Not easy though

Me too, because Granny Hitoba used a similar style jig. [Edit to add - its not the same, but similar. Ayatakadai vs Takadai) I'm curious as to whether one can use more than 2 colors on this jig.

@@teapoweredyugi You can use mulitple colours. Do some research on Kumihimo. It's a similar technique. It makes circular braids. The most common is a 16 strand one. It can have 16 colours. Usually 8-12 colours is used to make a pattern.

私のばあちゃんは和裁の人だったから伊賀組紐ほど珍しくはないけれど、反物を一瞥して模様の合わせ方を瞬時に決め、大胆に裁ってはスイスイ縫い上げて着物に仕上げていた手つきを思い出すよ。 せめて運針のコツだけでも習っておけばよかった…　不肖の孫娘は雑巾さえまともに縫えません。涙

Thank you!

Funny that you mentioned cross-stitch, as somehow my mind also went to that after watching this. I've tried and done/do many things in a course of what I do for living, including kumihimo (simpler version). Yet, cross-stitch came to mind, rather than anything else. Then I found your comment and was like, wow. Lol :)

おぉ！日本人いた！！ ちょっと心細かった(笑)

はい、視聴されている方も、日本人よりも外国人の方が多いです。お気軽に、いつでもコメントをくださいね。

光栄なことやないですか。日本文化に興味を持ってくださってると思うと。

菜々浅倉 光栄なこととは分かっているのですが、やはりこういう技術を受け継ぐ日本人が段々減っている事が目に見えて分かるのがちょっと悲しくて(´・ω・)

いやーほならね

ありがとうございます！

paulab11 yesss. I honestly just want to watch him work and fall asleep to the noise. Sounds weird, haha, but it’s so soothing.

u.xjr1300.s14 ですね！

君の名はの組紐は確か筒状だったと思いますが、組紐ってのは一緒ですね

詳細 細かいこと気にしすぎじゃね？ 人生楽しくなさそう

ピピ 私の趣味の一つに組紐があるもんできになっちゃいましてね…人生はまぁ楽しくないですね〜人生辞めたいぜ…

詳細 強く生きようぜ

璃音Rin 同じこと思いましたw

これをモチーフにしたんでしょう。たぶん…

それか、福田隆かもしれないですね～。

LOL

That's hilarious! XD

Thank you!

auto manufacturing exist due to high demand of something, while these handmade will be more expensive than those made with machines, something about economic

@@rinsw8872 automated manufacturing exists due to man's desire to avoid the pain of working hard. If we could figure out a way to power something through a repeatable process then we can avoid doing those repetitions ourselves. It's ultimately laziness and covetousness. We want more and we want to do less to get it thus automated manufacturing came to be the moment we figured out how to do it. And if handmade products do not have better durability or stronger quality then there is no reason to make them since they will cost more to the maker. It's only when handmade products are better quality and perform better that they can compete with automated manufacturing but usually by very slim margins. My question is though, are we justified to cut corners in production through automated manufacturing when it destroys ecosystems and pollutes the earth with wasteful by-products? Handmade generally only uses the materials on hand with little NATURAL waste. But automated manufacturing has taken an evil grotesque turn in producing materials and products that effectively are destroying our earth. And this is certainly not justified. This is when we have to choose a more costly method rather than sacrifice our own lives and the quality of our lives and everything on the earth in the process.

"Because people are lazy" is a lazy explaination to why machines are replacing handmade goods. Companies are driven to invent machines not because they give a damned about giving their workers less work, but because it is cheaper and faster to not have any in the first place. There are clearly people interested in making a living on handmade goods - just look at Etsy.

@@lNFINlTEx You are disagreeing to be disagreeable but you haven't said anything to prove a point.

My point is that economics, not laziness drives the invention of machines. Can't call people lazy for not doing a job that isn't capable of making them a decent living. If you want to be the change you desire, support handmade goods. Make the job something that a person can make a living doing, and you will see that there are people willing to do it. I am arguing for the sake of it, isnt that what the internet is all about? :) Your point isnt all that substantiated either.

Me too

Thank you!
