Unintentional ASMR 🌊 Japanese HANDMADE PAPER MAKING (satisfying, no talking) 

I love the duck and the guy co-existing, both minding their own business

Duck: Nice place you got there.

I just realised, this is probably the actual brand of washikozo that Julian Baumgartner uses for art conservation.

The way they meticulously check and pick out the imperfections of each strand is absolutely mind blowing.

It feels like there's a lot of asmr to be found in Japanese things. I've seen fountain pen making, ink presses, tea rituals, meal preparation, now even making paper.

This one might be a bit strange, once again, but I really enjoyed the splashy water sounds and the overall looong process (I feel like only the Japanese would spend 14 days handmaking the ultimate Paper)

What an amazing display of human ingenuity, talent and patience. I truly feel like I got to view what i can only consider to be a lost art. Thank you for taking the time to share this with the world. It's an honorable tradition worth passing on thru the ages.

I don't know how you find these great vids. I love them all. Thank you for your kindness :)

I am a stressed out man, i decided to take a few days off and come up to the mountains with family. I am back from a long nature walk and relaxing in the cabin watching this video.. chillin.. thank you!

This is supposed to be ASMR and make me sleepy but instead I ended up being genuinely interested in what I’m watching lol

I have seen this paper being used on a BBC program called the Repair Shop. A book specialist used it to strengthen a precious book 📖 of a loved member of their family who had died and it contained recipes that they made in their lifetime. The book specialist said that it was very fine and strong. This preserved the book for other members of the family to remember their grandparents for future generations. This is a very skillful job and looks like it needs a lot of patiences to make it. Thank you for sharing this video it's absolutely fascinating

Put this on to help me sleep. Was so intrigued and relaxed through the process that I did not sleep

As some one who draws a lot I would love to get a hold of some of this beautiful paper.. I love watch artisans at work.

There are subtle flourishes in the hand movements that tell me this man really loves his job.

The water is so clear and the sound is immaculate❤️

Girl: I would give you my number but I don't have paper... Me:

What’s wild, is someone at some point figured out how to do all of this shit. I’m sure it was much different, and most likely stemmed from stone carvings, bark, etc. Absolutely mind boggling, also who ever was like “let’s put peanut butter and jelly on bread and eat it together.” You’re awesome too.

That’s genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve seen on RU-vid . I’ll be thinking about it for days.

The whole developed process and how specific natural ingredients were used to make Washi paper is amazing!!

Why is this so relaxing to watch? The care they take in creating paper makes my soul smile.

This video is amazing in everyway. Like always, Nihon craftsmanship is top shelf. 4:13 That duck made me happy for some reason.

Such relaxing video and amazing work ethic. The water sounds and the peeling of each sheet wow! Thanks for sharing now I know how paper quality is made.

I'd love this job peace and quiet

8:32 Dog : DAAAAMN !

Easily one of the most relaxing things I have ever watched.

So the three pulps are: nasu kozo paper (soaked and blended), hibiscus roots pounded, and bark strips (cooked). The bark strips are from mulberry trees. All for the same paper, I guess. Sounds like a strong paper. I use a rice paper made with fibers of the mulberry tree. The paper is thin but strong and I love it for printing with acrylic paint. I think it’s somewhat different from what is shown here because one side is shiny and it’s the better side for laying down ink or paint.

Amazing that a thin layer of wet paper is caught through the screen and then layered like that. So much work. And peeling off a layer on day 14 probably requires some practice.

Such a nice occupation. Calmly and meticulously make great quality paper without being harmful to the environment. Your book is lovely btw :)

I can't stand artificial forced ASMR videos with whispering etc. But watching honest work with all its sounds is great + many japanese has a glorious way of working. Tradition, honor, balance, beauty

That's so beautiful, a work of art!

If we all had to make paper this way, we would not be so quick to use it so carelessly. I have a whole new appreciation for paper. Beautiful art of creating something from nature, in the most clean sustainable way I’ve ever seen!

In case anyone is wondering: 2 parts by weight of baking soda, in a 200F oven for roughly an hour will yield 1 part soda ash.

A: "Can you tell me something about the tasks that were given to you in your earlier job?" B: "Well it's complicated..."

Such a peaceful work environment.

Started watching: so relaxing 😌 5 minutes in: omg that duck is so cute 🥺

I LOVE these kind of videos.

Such a fun, chill video. Thanks. ♥️

I’m making pasta tonight

Man, this is a really wet job. Did anyone else get inordinately happy about the duck?

I wonder how much this paper costs, the making process is insane 🤯

What an amazing video, Thankyou for sharing this with us :)

Awesome video. After watching your part at the end, I got an urge to hear more of you talking. I know that is intentional, but I think you really mastered calm speech and would love to see more self content.

Totaly works and is making me grin somehow while getting goosebumbs

This healed something in my soul. Thank you.

Can someone tell me, where and when did they use the cooked bark strips after they seperated the strands

Aww! That duck playing in the water is adorable!

for many this will seem like crazy stuff but for those who paint-draw it will make sence as much of a pleasure and admiration...ps Thank you for uploading this marvel

This paper looks delicious

11:19 Ok now I know this process is supernatural...

Crazy noodles recipe

Are they making the paper that wood block print maker David Bull the Bob Ross of wood block print making uses?

This are the weirdest noodles I've ever seen. That's some serious gourmet shit.

Simply amazing dedication. 👏

I think this guy should be signing each sheet as they are each a masterpiece!

Now you know why the paper is so good because the duck adds the special ingredient :)

Excellent work!

Your root, for glue effect was different , I saw okra root used in a place in Kochi. Interested in your calm book as this was so peaceful. Thank you.

Thats gotta be the cleanest furnace i ever saw ¡¡¡

19:10 - 19:28 Me after having too much KFC the night before.

What a crazy work

When they stacked the paper i was suprised it didnt stick together, especially since they press it

And a big hand for the star of the show... hyacinth starch! That stuff must make the best glue. At first I thought he was only using the first handful in the entire tub. That little bucket wasn't a whole lot more, though. I wonder if anybody uses bean starch to make paper. I'm pretty sure taro is used in the bark cloth in Polynesia. There's no shortage of Hyacinth, though, since it is so tough that water treatment plants use them in the stagnant pools to draw out toxins in sewage treatment plants. They are a serious problem in just about any other waterway in the Americas. Kudzu might be its equal... possibly. Beans might give a similar result with less danger of overtaking the waterways across this continent. It sure is a water intensive process.

Other people and me: Nice process of elaboration Also me and other people: Cute duck! look how it cleans itself (* < *)

I loved this video

Amazing process. I looked on their web site out of curiosity, one of the papers shown in the video sells 4-6 sheets of 6 x 6 inches for just over $9 US. I can see why.

They must have a high water bill

lol I've just watched the orignal video about a week ago, but i'll watch it again since it was great!

Me literally at :07 watching the video. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. 😂

Amazing!

All this hard work for a random kid to draw a house with 3 chimney smoke clouds coming out of it and a sun in the corner

That was a really interesting watch

A picture is worth a thousand words A vid renders words superfluous

Beautiful. I understand why handmade paper is expensive...but so worth it!

I hope these guys get paid really well for such hard work.

It all begins with the sun,, straw, water, and intelligent humans 😃

Really interesting. Thanks for share.

The duck in the water basin... also funny. ;-) It has the right coolness. And teh video itself... great!!! Very interesting!!

That duck just straight vibin

This video is awesome! These gentlemen are true artists and some of the best craftsmen I have ever seen. Thank you!

11:30 Forbidden soup

They lost me when they stopped working with the fibers from the plant and just used actual paper to turn into mush and make into traditional paper

I’d like to go back in time and witness the early humans who stumbled across a 15-day process to make the first piece of paper 😂

Fascinating. I make handmade paper but nothing this intensive or thin. It is fun to make though.

Came for the tingles, stayed for the duck

All I can think about is ascendance of a bookworm. And how accurate mynes paper making process was.

Any one can make a spaceship with this much hard work🙂

When ancient Japanese tried to recreate Italian pasta, but something went wrong. Also it seems that the duck is an important part of the recipe

I love how the duck It's just like Yeah man I got my own pool Check it out I even have my own wave pool guy.

Is there really anything that hasn’t already been written down, drawn or painted that is worthy for this paper?

He has a lovely voice

Hold the phone. At 18:09 he uses already-made paper and turns it into a mulch to create the final paper we see at the end ... Like going back in time and being your own dad. Am I missing something here?!

Great! I always wanted to make paper myslelf¡¡¡

I really wanted to take a bite just after processed in water looks delicious 😋

My brain had a rough time processing 11:30 as not food.

Love that duck

I'm imagining a backstory about this man and his son where the father is like "you have to learn this, you have to take over the family business" and the son is like "okay, father" although the son only wishes he one day could move to the big city and pursue his dream as a mobile app developer

I wonder what kind of noodle soup they’re gonna make out of those that broth looks delicious😆

I like that they have a ducky to keep the soak tank guy company

Bro do you have asmr of you soft whispering? Calming voice tbh

I'm asking one if these guys to put my next screensaver on my phone.😆
