The process of making stamps by hand-engraving by a couple. A stamp workshop with 77years history. 

Custom-made products are also available from the link below! suigenkyo.com/lp/kawamasa-inbou/

For those who don’t know about the four Chinese characters in the stamp, it says “white crane in the cloud” (雲中白鹤). Crane is a typical spiritual symbol of longevity and a lifestyle close to the nature or the God in Chinese culture.

Wow, I never knew it took so much work into it...I am Japanese living in the US for more than 50yrs and finding out so many histories in Japan that I sure didn't know...thank you for this video!!!!! :))

These stamps must Cost a fortune. Beautiful work.

So chill. I learn so much from these artisan videos. Much appreciation.

What a remarkable country Japan is, I watch as many of these videos as I can find, and I am amazed at the craftmanship that exists country wide. Such wonderful care and attention to detail, pride in the work created. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice work and thank you for sharing your expertise I really enjoyed this

their patience is just incredible specially with that annoying light signal or whatever that beep sound is, in the background

This is magnificent work. Wood seals aren't that easy simply due to the wooden grain that makes it significantly more challenging than stone seals. Those lines are barely thicker than a strand of hair and I would imagine chipping the lines being very stressful.

I was waiting untill end to see if the bottom of engraving was going to be cleaned up and I was not disappointed! Beautiful work.

I could listen to that lady quietly carve wood for hours.

I’m envious of your steady hand on the stamp’s design. Wow!

Great, we need 19 more.

The attention to detail is amazing!!! THAT is taking pridei your work!!!!

My lord, the patience’s, the skill and talent to achieve this level is mind blowing!

Whoa nerves of steel!❤ Stunning

Amazing craftmanship! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

Absolutely beautiful work. The time it took is what I found interesting. You make a great team together. The skill is admorable and I thank you for sharing.

It was very nice to watch such work. 😊 While watching the final stage of carving, I even broke out in sweat 😱...😉 👍👏👏👏👏✌

I'm speechless! That was just WOW 👌 👏 😍 👍It takes a lot of hard work and patience to create such masterpieces. The more I learn about Japanese culture and traditions, the more I love your country 👏 🇯🇵

Bonjour. Très beau travail insoupçonné de patience exécuté de main de Maître avec un outillage à faire des envieux!! Merci pour cette vidéo. Amicalement de France

마음이 평온해진 느낌입니다 대단한 장인정신입니다 👍👍

From the video, by the look of the shavings that came out from under the cutters, it looks very much like boxwood...and by the color of the wood too....

Ive done Linoleum Block.cutting and prints and this is the first time i ever see anyone lean directly onto to that little piece of wood..

Such skill and patience!

Ohhh, that was nice! I want to make my maker's mark for wooden spoons and other things I make, and I was wondering how to carve it. Thanks to you, now I know 🥰 Thank you!

I would love that little box that acts like a vice grip

Sensacional , uma verdadeira artista.

Beautiful! Have to say that it is a traditional Chinese art like brush painting. I learned it by myself during the pandemic and was able to make several pieces of stone stamps.

Trabalho fantastico uma dedicação em fazer bem feito parabens

Impressive. Beautiful.

kkuwan Literally the happiest place we girls are!

I had no idea that Japanese stamps were made with such precision. I think there are advantages that cannot be achieved by machines.

So very creative.

The patience is amazing! I’d do one line and go OK time to go home now! 😅

Eine wunderschöne Arbeit! Vielen Dank, für dieses schöne Video und das wir daran teilnehmen dürfen, obwohl Nippon soweit entfernt ist. Da werden Briefe viel wertvoller, dies kann kein mail ersetzen! Beste Grüße aus Germany. Alles Gute für sie beide.

Stunning.

Какая тонкая и изящная работа! Спасибо!

Con paciencia, tiempo de trabajo que conlleva a la experiencia, y las herramientas adecuadas se logra una obra maestra.

Vi faras mirindan laboron... Gratulon!

We are Chinese born in the district of southern Vietnam. My father craving statues of Buddha, Gods, Chinese characters signs etc, he also craved stamps on special requests. Believe it or not, while this stamp made here is beautiful, but it’s a lot easier to produce cause of its big size; my dad used to carve much smaller size stamps, size of playing dices, small sizes are for signatures on books, literatures, letters etc. Watching this really brings back old memories of dad, watching dad worked into the night with just a small spotlight just like so. My dad learned from my grandpa, grandpa immigrated from southern China to Vietnam in the 1890s, did this for a living until he reached Saigon-Cholon, and continued to work as carving artist until he died in 1948. Salute to all handcrafts artists ❤ [Edited 02/01/2024: Thank you for all your likes! Since this comment shows many interests, I would please to share a bit more information. My dad’s art work could be found from the 17th Parallel down to the edge of Hà Tiên (pre 1975 the entire South Vietnam). Most carved statues are in pagodas and temples throughout southern parts especially in District 5 & 6. One special piece of artwork needed to mention was the “King’s Chair” of Bảo Đại, the last king of Vietnam. It is still in display in the museum of Bảo Đại up in Dalat (Dinh Bảo Đại in your itinerary), this was the king’s own mansion during his reign. This king’s chair was actually initially completed by my grandfather, later being renewed by my father circa 1956, where the chair was completely refinished with mostly 24 karate gold plated].

From Germany ich bin absolut erstaunt mit was für einer Präzision und Genauigkeit sie da gearbeitet haben allerhöchsten Respekt und Anerkennung

magnifique travail et parfaite maitrise du mouvement.C'est beau.
