This video showcases four types of woodworks created by Japanese craftsmen.
The first type is a woodwork process using Kumiko technology. The craftsman, Mr. Tanaka, creates intricate designs such as walls and fusuma. He uses a planer to adjust the thickness of the parts and a saw to divide them evenly. He also makes runshades and coasters using Kumiko's designs.
The second type is the traditional Japanese mask, Noh Mask. It is made by Ichiyu Terai, a veteran craftsman who has been making masks for over 50 years. The mask is made from a rectangular parallelepiped block of wood and takes over 100 tools to create. It is not sold to the general public, but can be purchased online.
The third type is shogi pieces, a complex board game. The pieces are made by craftsmen and are engraved by hand. The process involves arranging the pieces into a pentagon and carving characters on them.
The final type is a sustainable plate made from the bark of the zelkova tree. It is created by Mr. Matsuda, who applies lacquer to the bark and designs on it. The plate is then polished multiple times to achieve a glossy finish and is antibacterial, making it a suitable material for food.
Throughout the video, the craftsmen demonstrate their meticulous attention to detail and precision, creating beautiful and unique pieces.
