職人気質色が出ている話ですね 仕事に誇り・こだわりが魅力です 我が国・日本が技術力を育んだ文化と云えましょう

Труженикам всего Мира почёт и уважение!

@@user-nq2rg6hf4c Respeto, Vladi.

Gratidão, que todos jovens pudessem aprender a arte primária. Como se vê o MESTRE, usou todos os recursos. Obrigado

I am so sad to hear this. This film of Mr Tamaki was great gift to humanity, and I so appreciate that the film-maker did such a beautiful job, respectfully portraying a humble master at work!

I know right?! I'm in total awe of this craftsman!😃

While the Japanese do indeed make fine chalk lines, this is for ink.

Me too! I live in South Dakota.

There is a surplus of material needed in order to carve from. There’s probably cheap plastic versions of these but some people buy tools not to use but to collect.

@@trappenweisseguy27 That’s what I thought, if they were to be used they would take a lot of space in a carpenters tool box IMHO. I wish they would show the “not collectible” ones but traditional as well.

The Japanese hate to break tradition, so even the modern versions of these are probably much bigger than our chalk lines. I used to be a carpenter and had a chalk line (Stanley ?) that was shaped like a plumb bob and could even be used as one in a pinch. The elaborate carving and decoration here ($$$) is likely to only be appreciated by collectors or enthusiasts. Someone up above said that this fellow has unfortunately passed on. Many trades like this in Japan are dying out because these guys die and the young people aren’t willing to toil away for years in order to barely scrape by. An apprentice to a man like this would traditionally spend his first couple of years unpaid making tea and learning how to sharpen the tools before being trusted to do anything else. Not a lot of young Japanese are willing to do that now.
