I agree. There is a reason for the blade height, however. At that height, the blade is in a downward motion where the piece of wood is touching. Lowering the blade would cause the wood to kick back towards him because it would be forward motion at that angle...or backwards, depending on perspective. Either way, its so risky to be working that close to the blade. You'd think they could come up with some sort of jig to cut a bunch of these are once and not need to be so close.

It certainly looks dangerous. With over 20 years of experience under his belt, I don't think he makes easy mistakes!!!

I moved to Japan from NY. A lot of "slappiness", when it comes to security (staircases without railing, machinery without safety guards, dangerous crossroads..). My conclusion is: high standard safety takes a lot of money and some places (included my original Country-Italy) prefer to cut the costs. There are last generation table saw, extremely precise and very safe, but the cost.... Anyway, just my thought (sorry for breaking your romantic mood about this).

After all those hours, I still count 10 fingers, so he obviously knows what he's doing 😀

Agreed. It made me nervous watching him work. It reminded me of my grandfather who worked a cotton gin. Every day he went to work with 10 fingers and a wooden switch. Every day he came home with 10 fingers but he didn't always come up with the switch.

I'm not saying he's doing a bad job, or even that he's not very aware of what and how he's doing his job. Just that as someone who is responsible at my job for ensuring that any work is performed safely, it makes me want to give him a pusher block.

Master.

Bro that's his art..... With skills......

I am certain he pays attention to safety first

​@@JojoYuoableUnfortunately, that's not how it works. If merely paying attention were sufficient, there would be no need for safety rules; everyone would simply 'pay attention'.

True!!　It is a Japanese game more interesting than chess!

@@Craftsmanship-Process that’s great.

The traditional techniques used in the production of this product make it more elaborate than it might otherwise be.

В теории если станок исправен ,в помещении нет посторонних,никто не отвлекает и у мастера не трясутся руки от алкоголя думаю на пенсию можно уйти с полным набором пальцев😅 Но так как мы не японцы проверить это очень сложно😂

Exactly😍

そうです！！

It is Japanese paper, thin typing paper, or tracing paper. We call it "Jiboshi". 字母紙

They are called infantry and are the pawns in chess.

@@Craftsmanship-Process Ohhh. I’ve never played chess so I don’t know what pawns do but with a a name like infantry your pieces are soldiers.

A laser isn't going to leave _quite_ the same cuts as a knife. Also, a lot of people will pay more for shogi goma cut by hand than something more suited to mass production. Just like a lot of people would rather have a hand turned & carved Staunton chess set of natural materials than one of cast plastic, even though the latter is faster and less expensive.
