I feel sorry for you! I very much agree with what you’re writing!

Hope you get well soon

Yes!!

I completely agree with you, I’m also suffering from a chronic illness which is One of the reason I can’t travel anymore. Good luck too you.

I hope your health gets better. And yes, this type of videos also gives me a lot of joy watching it. What a highly skilled craftmanship !!

Thank you very much!

That and people who appreciate beauty over phones:)

Don't you know, making a living as an artist , any artist, is very tough. Everyone likes to see these vidoes, but few actually support with buying.

Welther47, very true.

Yup 👌🏻👌🏻

Sadly, the young generation’s focus and attention span is being destroyed by smartphone & time wasting social media. Craftsmanship required a lot of practice and patience to master. Without extreme focus, you can’t produce quality work like this, regardless of it being art or not. I want to be proven wrong...of course.

Also this generation is poor and no one teaches them anymore. We have the patience and the will but not the means or the master to learn from.

the younger generations need to pay rent in a job market that has been ruined by the corporate interests of older generations. And this doesn't pay rent. If someone young wants to be an artisan they'll be called stupid liberal and get told to study medicine or engineering.

@Zaynah Fiaz good for you Zaynah. Prove all the cynics and the system wrong. Keep art and tradition alive. Love it, pursue it, master it, whatever and wherever your passion for art and tradition takes you.

Then do it yourself, just complaining hoping someone else will do it

Wow! You are lucky!

Thank you very much. This "Kyo Yuzen" is made in Kyoto, Japan. When you come to Kyoto, please bring your feet as there is also a workshop.

I just want to be able to paint like this...

I’m pretty sure this would be used for kimono instead cuz it’s so precious

handcraft like this may cost you several grands to several hundred grands of dollars depending on how complex and sophisticated the process is. The price of a top class kimono made from these clothes could be eaqual to the the price of a fancy flat in Japan. They are basically pricy paintings. If you do buy fine art pieces then you shall understand the value of it.

@@user-xo4jd4ot8s That's not expensive at all compared to the profit margin that so many european "fashion" brands are taking for their mass produced garbage, that they manage to sell to dumb sheep primarily because of marketing. I bet that if those japanese artisans multiplied their cost of labor and materials with the same factor as e.g. Louis Vuitton multiplies with for their, that a kimono like that would cost the same as some country's GDP. An LV dress costs thousands of dollars, but takes minutes to make due to a lot of heavy machines involved. Now imagine a kimono that is almost- if not 100% handmade and takes several days/weeks to make... There are 10 080 minutes in one week... You can sit there and calculate what the right price for such an item would be by a "fashion" brand's standards.

Me too I think that is a such blessing to just see that skill

ME Too!!! I want to paint like this... I already do silk painting...

Thank you!

I'd love to see the entire process in real time to beautiful music like this. Junkabella, have you watched Corning Museum of Glass's videos? They are very soothing and often last for an hour or more.

Thank you!
