Anything Japan: "It takes years just to learn how to carry the firewood and coal in to start the fire"
-
The real skill is convincing someone to pay $26,000 for a pair of scissors.
-
A lineage spanning 26 generations, a direct family tradition of 155 years. Now that is impressive. Full respect to him
-
The fact that he doesn't force his children to take over the business even though it could end shows how humble he is, his business should never end
-
The stunning attention to detail in Japan has always amazed me. It hurt to hear him say that he may only be able to go on making these for another 10 years and that he doesn't have enough time left to make all the orders. It was pretty heartbreaking to hear that.
-
The level of culture and tradition in Japan is stunning
-
My grandfather brought a pair of handmade all purpose scissors from Japan ~50 years ago for my grandmother to use in the kitchen, those scissors are now in my mother's kitchen and are used almost daily and still cut like new.
-
Holy crap his great-great-grandfather had AMAZING foresight to focus on scissors just ONE YEAR before the beginning of the Meiji Era. The sword ban didn't happen until 1876, but he probably saw something on the horizon.
-
As a professional plant trimmer, we use Japanese scissors in the 'herb clip' industry now called Chikamasa. Made in Japan.
-
There's a blacksmith in Norway who makes a traditional auger tool and he's going strong in his 90s. This guy could very well keep going for more than 10 more years.
-
Craftsmanship at its best.
-
The dedication these Japanese master craftsmen have to their craft is beyond amazing
-
It's pretty inspiring to see how passion is not something that "just happens".... No no, not at all... passion is cultivated... and it's infectious... I mean, I never thought about scissor making before this video and it's got me fired up
-
It's sad to hear that such an amazing historical craftsmanship may end with him.
-
The Japanese I came to know in Yokosuka took their interest very seriously. They found joy in the process and through this process they have honor. It’s the process that makes one a master.
-
If you’re striving for excellence, there will always be a market for whatever you are making. Don’t give up and never stop improving.
-
I love this man and how he values life what needs to be preserved is him not just his talent
-
The most amazing thing about the people in this/ other videos is that they are doing something they love and are making a living from it... I'm extremely envious of that.
-
he is the goat in this still takes notes from users wow
-
Good to see sasuke relaxing after all the great shinobi wars he’s been thru 😌
