Making $35,000 Bonsai Scissors

When it comes to Japanese craftsmanship, knives often get all the glory. But in the city of Sakai, where traditional metalwork goes back centuries, there is one man who has built his legacy on something a little different. Master blacksmith Yasuhiro Hirakawa is the only traditional scissor maker left in Japan. Using ancient methods, Hirakawa’s legendary scissors can take four times longer to forge than a traditional knife. To buy one of his creations can set you back a hefty amount-his most expensive pair of scissors cost $35,000. For bonsai craftsmen like Masakazu Yoshikawa, however, it’s a small price to pay for the chance to work with the highest quality tools.
This Great Big Story video was inspired by Genesis.

So i can make the side of the blade that cut heat up (and also really sharp) like a fucking light saber so when you cut, it will be clean as fuck, the scissors can be modified to be longer or shorter, or have different texture on the edge for multipurpose

Nope. There are scissor makers all over the world, especially in Europe. The scissors shown in this video, although very nice, are ABSOLUTELY overpriced in every way. There are other “bespoke” handmade scissors out there for way less. 80$ to 1000$. There is a reason he will be going out of business soon.

@capitalismnfreedom3084 2 года назад

@@AlexanderMason1 the only reason he will go out of business is of old age. I don’t think you realise how difficult it is to make scissors from absolute scratch which I doubt the europeans are able to do. If you watched the video you’d also realise that he also sells scissors that are around $1000. $80 scissors aren’t even worth mentioning, a bit insulting to compare.

@@vlusky_husky No, I don't have bonsai scissors. I'm 75 and a modelship maker. I have tools, specialized tools where each serves one single situation or purpose.. When I started, I had the same types of tools but very cheap and ordinary, only three or four that served for all the same purposes. When I discovered there were ultra specialized tools and one for each job, I bought them one by one at an inflated price 3 or 4 times higher than the cheap ones (but not 16,000 times the price). I also realized that the real reason I wanted them was hubris, and for the pride and pleasure of 'having them'. Other modelers were saying 'Wow, he's got all those tools...' and I felt I was a better modeler. I wasn't. I just needed more space on my desk to lay them out. Now, to me, scissors are scissors are scissors... If you want a better cut on your bonsai, buy a good quality one and sharpen it once in a while.

The Japanese refuse to let go of old ways and romanticize them, and some in the west buy into it. E.g. Japanese refused to transition to blast furnaces for hundreds of years after they were available, so they spent hundreds of years doing a lot more labour intensive processes to work steel to produce blades and tools of equal (not better) quality to those coming out of other countries.

IMO, the Japanese make a science out of everything. He probably had to watch his master 10 years before he was allowed to try to make a pair himself. Sure, they are masters, but often I think that the effort is not necessary for a pair of scissors, more just because of tradition.

@tribunal009 3 года назад

Right? And I think that the Bonsai craftsman probably heard about the scissors from someone else, so while they are actually incredibly well made, he buys them because it’s part of the tradition. I’m sure the $35,000 scissors are amazingly well made, but I highly doubt you can’t find scissors that do just as well for maybe a 10th of the cost.

Was going to say in Japan they make a craft out of everything... craftsmanship is highly revered and one dedicates their life or family towards it be it a pair of scissors, bonsai , or Japanese Italian food...was amazed to see how much seriousness was placed in just the act of buying the pair of scissors... an hour talk... 1/2 a year to 1 year of deliberation/ research.

I'll read more on this but 1100$ for such a impressive piece of art (almost historical too) seems really fair, especially since a typical good pair cost around 250$ The kind of object you keep all your life and you give to someone as passionate as you when you pass away.
