Today we’re very proud to present the first video in a new segment on our channel: Shokunin
Shokunin (職人) is the Japanese word for craftsman or craftswoman. These are the men and women who preserve Japan’s traditional legacy of hand-crafting products including swords, drums, fans, pottery and more. Many shokunin use crafting methods that have been passed down for hundreds of years, sometimes within a single family. But because most things can be mass-produced these days, shokunin, and their skills, are disappearing. So, we want to help protect Japan’s historical arts by spreading awareness and broadening their market within Japan and overseas.

日本には職人と呼ばれる人達がおり、彼らの生み出すものは刀、太鼓、うちわ、陶器など、多岐に渡ります。職人によっては数百年以上もの間、その技術を継承し続けているところもあり、伝統工芸品製造に従事されている技術者の中には、経済産業大臣から伝統工芸士として認定されている方もいます。しかし、伝統工芸産業は厳しい状況にあり、多くの技術が失われているのが現状です。そこで、日本の職人とその技術を世界に向けて発信していこうと今回のシリーズを企画しました。既に、何名もの素敵な職人様をインタビューさせていただいたので、よろしければご覧下さい。

Being a new shokunin can be really difficult in a lot of ways. If you enjoyed watching Yamaguchi-san work and have a word or two of support for her (in Japanese), you can comment or send her a message on her blog: ameblo.jp/amezaiku-aichi/ I think she would really appreciate it!

@fumihikosignup 9 лет назад

She is a shokunin(職人). I am a shokunin(食人). I eat a lot(私はいっぱい食べる人).

@FUBAR956 9 лет назад

Her creations are art works too beautiful to eat. That Pegasus was beautiful. Too bad I don't know nearly enough Japanese to compliment her on her work.

@sunnyblue9413 9 лет назад

It's sad the crafts are being lost

@Metalman200xdamnit 9 лет назад

Isabel Angell That is true. Hopefully someone will want to continue the craft.

@sunnyblue9413 9 лет назад

Metalman200xdamnit we can only hope

@WinterCedar 9 лет назад

That's awesome! I had no idea that candy sculpture was even a thing! I'm really looking forward to future segments! You guys just make Japan seem more and more interesting with every video you post, and I didn't even think that was possible! Thanks for educating me, and helping to take my mind of my recent wisdom teeth removal! XD

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

I hope you feel better soon! I had my wisdom teeth removed a year ago and it wasn't fun! Thank you so much for your comment!

@WinterCedar 9 лет назад

Thanks so much! I'll probably just keep eating up my painkillers ;p

@WinterCedar 9 лет назад

Haha yeah, luckily it's pretty much gone today, so I'm gonna get myself a nice, juicy burger XD

@uwum0nster 9 лет назад

Rachel & Jun I think this is a wonderful way to explore the culture. I really want to see more of stuff like this.

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

Thank you! We already have I think four more interviews recorded, and a few more appointments coming up this month! We're really dedicated to this cause, so will be producing a ton of videos for this series from here on out!

@Lawlietftw30 9 лет назад

Japanese people just have such soothing voices sometimes.

@SUPERGENKI 9 лет назад

- Yes, and at other times super-annoying (nasal and high pitched) ^_^

@Exotixa 8 лет назад

she's pretty! and so is her art!

@TexaninTokyo 9 лет назад

This is so cool! I LOVE this new segment. Y'all are awesome.

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

Thank you!!

@Aranur 9 лет назад

that's awesome you guys are showing some of Japan's traditional crafts. I've always wondered if any of those old craftsmen and women still existed that created the handmade fans and hair accessories or the old style paintings. Even in America a lot of our handmade crafts like soap making and making your own spices and things are disappearing. thank you for doing this series Now When I visit Japan I'll be sure to look for a lot of these traditional crafts.

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

Thank you for your comment!! Yes, they do. :) We interviewed an uchiwa fan craftsman, and we have plans for a sensu fan shokunin as well! I would LOVE to see if there's a shokunin who makes kanzashi. I'll ask about it!

@tessiegril5736 9 лет назад

Seems so much fun but I can't decide if I would eat it or not Or maybe you need two one for eating and one for looking

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

haha they're hard to eat! The first time I got one, I put it on display for about a month. It slowly, slowly started melting over that time until I felt like it was okay to eat it. :)

@tessiegril5736 9 лет назад

Rachel & Jun it sounds like a pretty toverbal you suck those.

@dwhite3937 9 лет назад

The woman candy artist is absolutely beautiful! How cute her candy is! It almost looks as if it would glow in the dark. Makes me want to eat some candy! Cute video.

@CoolRiceBunnies 9 лет назад

This is amazing! What a wonderful trade to share with the world. Who knew candy could look so beautiful!

ちょっと日本語で書こうかだと思ってた。。。その動画はどこで撮影されたの？愛知県なの？山口先生のブログのリンクにそう書いてるんだけど。ちょっとそこへ行ってあめ食べようかなだと思ってたけど今兵庫県の方に住んでますので愛知はなんか名古屋の方だから遠過ぎるかも、大阪か京都の近くにないのかな～なんか書き間違えがあったらすまん、警護なくてすまんだけどその方が書きやすいし敬語面倒くさいし。。。すまん

@MitreyK 9 лет назад

I hope I'm not the only 13 year old on here that finds this SO AWESOME! I love handmade things! And I would love to visit Japan someday to get to experience some of these things for myself! I love people who stick to their cultures and traditions, and it's awesome to see that a lot of those haven't been lost! I really enjoyed this, and I'm sure my best friend would love this too! I'm looking forward to a lot more of these!

@Pharphette 9 лет назад

I like this new series a lot already, especially because of their length - feels like a real show!

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

I really want to make mini-documentaries for them! This one was a little short, but there are some much longer, really awesome ones coming up! :D

@KiraDoyle 9 лет назад

Rachel & Jun Yes I reallly love this series! I'm so interested in japanese craft. I want to discover more. Please keep them coming! (btw your candy looked really cool Rachel :3)

@tomoscraft4 9 лет назад

とてもいい動画ですね。 Rachelが日本にいることで日本の大事な部分を再発見できるし、又海外の人が職人になりたい際に参考にできるいい感じです。 SHOKUNINシリーズ次回も期待します

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

いつもありがとうございます！ご期待にお応えできるかは分かりませんが、頑張ります！

@Meggsie 9 лет назад

Could you imagine this being your job? So peaceful and creative.. Wish I could learn and pick up a trade like that.

@trinan.5548 9 лет назад

My mom and I are addicted to Japanese crafts. I do stuff like origami and sew little gift bags made out of Japanese styled fabrics. My mom does kanzashi flowers and clay flowers. We are borrowing books from the library on Japanese crafts so we can learn more. I will definitely show this video to my mom and I can tell she will be impressed!

@xtinaaasaur 9 лет назад

I love learning more about Japan's culture!! Not just their pop culture but deeper down history. It makes japan more than what people think!

@sallyfox6255 9 лет назад

It's really interesting, it's sad that old traditional skills are gradually being forgotten, makes me think of the skills in my own country.

@farimasultani6138 8 лет назад

The woman was so pretty and her skills are wonderful!

@booksmusicgodislife 9 лет назад

One of my favorite experiences was when I was in Disney World in Florida, at the "Japan" part of Epcot, I got to watch a women do this. She was so very sweet and nice, and she took pictures with me and let me take pictures of her candy. It was very nice.

@ryuhyabusa1000 8 лет назад

+Ashley Smith Ah, I was in Epcot, too! I never got to see this being done, though. However, I did see a big performance with Taiko, and I spoke a lot with the people who ran a shop in the lower part of a building designed to look like a temple.

@Dash49 9 лет назад

PLEASE continue this series! This is amazing, if I ever come to Japan I will certainly support these craftspeople! It makes such a great gift for others too, rather than tacky souvenirs.

@susanpusan 9 лет назад

I still remember that first candy sculpting video you uploaded; I thought it was so amazing then! Now that I've learned how hot the candy can be I have even more respect for the people that do this. This new series is going to be amazing, I can't wait to see more!!!

@violinasama 8 лет назад

It almost looks like the techniques one would use for glass sculpting !

@IjeomaThePlantMama 9 лет назад

Rachel you se to be a natural at sculpting. You picked it up really quick!

@JulesBiscuits 9 лет назад

I learned how to do this at culinary school in London. They call it sugar sculpture but the ingredients and technique are the same. It's so cool to see the origins of this craft! Thank you.

@LisaSometimes 9 лет назад

Lovely video! I agree with the commenter who said that this feels like a real documentary - it's so nicely put together. I'm super impressed by how professional-feeling all of your videos are, actually - you're really talented & always a joy to watch! :)

@s1ddh4r7h.p 5 лет назад

In India we have this thing called sakkare acchu.. it's literal sugar moulded into shapes.. it's really really sweet and we get it only in the beginning of the year.. but it's still SO GOOD

@Pandacrazyabtnaruto 9 лет назад

It is really amazing that you guys are promoting the culture / art of Japan. All the best guys. I'll be waiting patiently for similar videos in future. 😊

@Assassinio66 9 лет назад

I don't usually comment on videos, but this time I simply have to. It's a brilliant video! Propably my favorite from all the Japan related videos on youtube. Not only does it show something that I had no idea existed, but it does it in a wonderful way. Showing the story behind the craftsman (or woman in this case). It's great that you found somethig about Japan to show us that (at least I belive so) any other jvlogger didn't.

@cakexrainbows4827 9 лет назад

It looks so beautiful you almost don't want to eat it. That isn't just candy that is art at it's finest.

@xXHaname 9 лет назад

Her hair was so pretty! She was actually just very pretty in general. Even her clothes!

@DJBestBoi 9 лет назад

This reminds me a lot of glass sculpting :D I love watching people do intricate arty things like this; it's so interesting

@Discomarm 9 лет назад

I love this segment and what you're doing for these people and their crafts. I look forward to seeing more!

@TheOtterDaughter 9 лет назад

Wow! That was amazing! They're sooooo cute. I can't decide which was my favorite. I would love to try that some time. I'd probably end up getting frustrated and freaking out though. Rachel, you did a very good job for your first try!

@RachelandJun 9 лет назад

Thank you!! There's some equipment we really want to buy to take better quality footage, but it's so incredibly out of our price range that it's still a ways off.@_@ There are some amezaiku shokunin who make larger, complicated statues as art pieces and to submit in competitions. They're really incredible. I would love to be able to see some of those in person some day!

@TheMechanicalGirl999 9 лет назад

Pikachu! Pikachu is ALWAYS the cutest! Don't you know if you don't say that he is you get shocked!?! LOL!

@azarazat 9 лет назад

I'm already madly in love with this segment, these parts of Japanese culture are part of why I want to learn more about Japan!! I hate seeing beautiful traditions disappear, this probably sounds weird but I teared up watching a video about how samurai katakana were traditionally made because it showed and explained how there are very few who still know how to make them...in the future there is a possibility that there will be no one left who know how to create these beautiful artworks

@bojeschke3514 9 лет назад

Great video! You guys are supporting a good cause by raising awareness for these wonderfull traditons! Please do NOT stop with these wonderful videos! Greetings from Belgium!

@NameePark 9 лет назад

Wow ! Thank you guys for this ! Looking forward to more, as usual ^ ^

@duckiebee2831 9 лет назад

These are amazing! Japan never ceases to amaze me with its rich culture and history!

@kikyoween 9 лет назад

This will likely be my favorite segment from you two! I love Japan. I especially love the simple elegance of traditional East Asian (Japanese) culture. I like the kind of things you don't see in mainstream media - the kind that is rarely, if ever, advertised and not many people know about, especially foreigners. It's always sad to see traditional aspects of a culture be swept away in the tide of globalization and industrialization, so your efforts to bring awareness to them makes me really happy! I look forward to future segments.

@MissEmJayC 4 года назад

The lady doing the amezaiku is beautiful! It's sweet that she started so she could do it for her children

@bellaxfatal 9 лет назад

What a beautiful art. I love that you and the guys you were with are helping preserve Japanese artistry. It's amazing to think its only made out of two or three ingredients, and those little works if art come from that. The artist is very beautiful, too! Keep up the awesome work. I just found your channel a day or two ago, and can't stop watching!

@Cedrikuya 9 лет назад

Japan has such a fascinating artisan culture, I was gawking at the garden in the background early on before this video even got properly started. Good work on supporting on those that could really benefit from the exposure.

@renoa0heartilly 9 лет назад

oh wow i would watch a whole channel just about this concept! artisans and their passion! as an artist i know it's difficult to be focused 100% into your work with someone there, let alone with a camera! so watching her do those amazing candies was amazing! thank you very much for this, i hope there are many many episodes like this coming, and even if not it's great to know there are young men and women creating websites and going places to support the art ^^ i have to say this was one of the most pleasant and most well-rounded episodes i've seen from jvloggers in a while, good job everyone!

@Vortex2087 9 лет назад

This is awesome and I especially liked the personal part in the interview! I think traditional crafts should be supported and this video is great! I'm very happy that a lot more of these videos will be made by made! This is also very interesting for people who don't know about things like this. Very good work :)

@GGJ5 9 лет назад

When I visited Japan, a kind woman invited me to her house and presented candy sculptures to me. They were lovely purple sugar flowers and when she told me she made them, I felt horrible to eat them! The art was too pretty! But she told me it was meant to be eaten, so I did it. lol. But I really appreciate the effort that is put into these candy sculptures!
