  • The most expensive resource in the world is time. That's what gives actual value to cultural objects. Marketing departments sometimes make you think that the value lies somewhere else..
  • Their attitude is amazing. Even the way they speak - you can hear love in their voices towards whats they are doing... Warms my heart.
  • @Chirpydirpy1
    The specialization of their craftsmen is truly amazing.
  • I can't say which was my favorite. These talented happy hands create love in my heart. Thanks for this excellent documentary.
  • What a commitment of all these craftsmen as well as the people have produce such a documentary. wonderful....
  • What a beautiful culture, full of dedicated hard working people!
  • @vnaichannel
    I really admire the Japanese in that they can dedicate their entire lives to maintaining and perfecting products to perfection.
  • @amadd5641
    What an amazing man. I was lucky enough to see DEVO one time in Melbourne, Australia nearly 40 years ago now. Still one of the most memorable concerts I've seen.
  • Beautifully executed!! editing, filming, and the sound of the voice-over girl is so soothing. beautiful music background:) this is just the most relaxing informative documentary I've seen recently thank you!
  • @fredkelly6953
    Countries all over the world have specialist craftspeople making top of the line products which become works of art but Japan takes that craftsmanship to the next level in practically everything they do. It says something of the people who strive for perfection in all things. They even look for it in the broken and imperfect, what an admirable mindset, worthy of respect.

    Bro might be making knives but his salesmanship is first rate. I don’t even cook and I want one 😂
  • @U-inverse369
    Incredible art of crafting. Quality over quantity. Each human can learn so much from appreciating expertise and paying the price for it. We dont need much. It keeps the mind and home clean.
  • @ZEFOLI
    watched the entire video and its all absolutely fascinating really appreciate you sharing all of this
  • can't say which was my favorite. These talented happy hands create love in my heart. Thanks for this excellent documentary.
  • @bongkem2723
    every freaking they make (ink, ketle, knife, wine, soy sauce, meat...) can become gold, they do it super precisely at every step, each step takes years to master.

    Very beautifull to watch Japanese society and dedication to hard work. Unfortunately it does not necessarily rhymes with business success or mere surviving . That is the sad part, BUT a call to pragmatism to join with quality of workmanship. When I see all these item sold on Amazon with proof of origin, I will hope for Japanese joining financial survival with their cultural treasures.
