Hello everyone,
When I was a kid, my dad told me about the reduction of manpower in traditional trades due to the industrialization and modernization of Japanese society. Traditional products started to become outdated and forgotten.

However, there are still young people who dedicate their entire careers to preserving these traditions. We want to honor them as much as we can. Therefore, I decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work, using footage from my friends and myself.
Today’s video will be even more captivating because I have edited the script, rewritten the content, recorded new voices, added new effects, music, and footage to create something truly unique. This new creation is titled: "The Kanjuro Craftsmen Have Made Bows for Samurai and the Nobility for Over Four Centuries."
This time, our main character is a bow craftsman: Shibata Munehiro (柴田 宗博さん) from Kyoto Prefecture, born in 1984.
His teacher and father, the 21st generation bow craftsman, Shibata Kanjuro (柴田 勘十郎さん), has been his guide. From an early age, Munehiro watched his father work and aspired to become a bow craftsman. At around 23 years old, he became his father's disciple. He is working hard to acquire the necessary skills while striving to uphold the long-standing tradition. When his father retires, Munehiro will inherit his name and become the 22nd Kanjuro to lead the household.
