I love what he says about wooden objects not being at their best when they're new, but after they've been used for a while, received a few scratches and gained their personality and uniqueness.

Yeah I also really liked that part too!

2:41 - "Despite these hurdles, I didn't want to give up. Instead, I decided to keep going, no matter what direction my art would take." This resonates with me. I've been a furniture maker / cabinetmaker / woodworker / carpenter for 30 years now and second only to my love of making useful and sometimes even beautiful things of wood is my insistence that 'this is what I want to do!' Respect and regards from a Norwegian woodworker

All cultures have craftspeople of great skill. The Japanese seem to have a monopoly on them though. すべての文化には、優れた技能を持つ職人がいます。しかし、日本人は彼らを独占しているようです。

Let's strive to keep this culture alive!

Pura vida mi hermano excelente trabajo lo felicito y me alegra que combine el uso de herramientas manuales le otorga un caracter mas humanos a sus creaciones porque un objecto de madera solo transformado por herramientas eletricas para mi no tiene el mismo significado. Pura vida saludos a todos

Buen día Acá desde la ciudad de la serena Chile,por favor si puede poner los subtitulos también en español por favor ,gracias 😊

@Honyakker Год назад

Beautiful video! Subtitling is good, but I think there's a mistake: I think Yoshino-san said that he used "clear" or "knot-free" (無垢) lumber, not "scabrous aphananthe," a species that is not used to produce lumber.

Your production quality is through the roof! Yoshino's story resonates deeply with me. I'm curious to see how you interviewed him - interviewing people well is a true skill. I'm excited to see what else you create, and I just *know* your work will go big one day! Cheering you on ~

You produced some beautiful work sensei! I would have loved to train as a daiku san in Japan. The beauty of their work is just amazing! Thank you for your video.

Dear Yoshi-san I enjoyed this video and appreciated your journey as mine was similar. For me woodworking gives me peace and joy which makes it religion. Unless one is very well established it’s hard to sell the custom art we make. People don’t understand the hours we put into creating beauty or the high cost of wood. The cost of machinery we acquire be it power or hand tools also escapes the average customer. So we toil on to appease our soul. It’s the way of wood or any such craft.

It's a expensive journey I know, you can never have enough tools.

@EssenceofJapan Год назад

Totally!

the hard reality of craftsmanship is that you also have to earn a living from it. even jim krenov was frustrated by that reality. the only way around that seems to be to live a simple life and focus on simply surviving by doing something that brings you joy. domo arigato, anatawa ichiban shokonin desu.
