Agree or not, this is why Japan has been so successful in so many things. Such a dedication for something so small and not expensive. They make me reflect whether I do what I do with such a dedication and care. Thank you for the clip.

Or it's just a process all things go through. I'm sure the most mundane things go through a huge process. It's not solely a Japanese trait
Wow that’s an amazing amount of hands on work to make such a seemingly simple toy.

Increible, como me gustaria traer este tipo de maquinaria y tener a dispocion tanta ingenieria para hacer pequeñas obras de arte que todos pueden admirar y ver todos los dias. Algunos hablan de graffiti, pero ahora entiendo mejor lo increible y maravilloso que es el mundo del Art Toy, y como en realidad ese juguete que tubiste o coleccionaste de pequeña es en realidad una pequeña maravillosa obra de arte. Quisiera estudiar mucho mas de estos procesos y traerlos a mi pais, traer esos materiales y maquinas e intentar algo por aca.... cada dia esto me inspira mas

I worked at an electroforming shop once, and I was curious to see what they were spraying on the wax to make it conductive. But they blurred it out. We used plain old Krylon metallic spray paint. It worked great.

The copper layers they put down appear several millimeters thick. I didn't think it was possible to lay down that much material with electroforming without internal stresses breaking the part. Was I incorrect? Is there a limit?

That was a really detailed step by step look at the process. The part I was not sure about was how the product was going to get removed from the mould, simple in the end. It is lovely to see that many artisan workshops have survived in Japan. In the west there is a great drive to always modernise things and the capitalist system forces businesses to continuously increase profit or loose to others who are able to work cheaper or faster. I love to see manual processes but somehow the old Japanese craftsmen are amongst the most authentic because they are part of an unbroken tradition instead of new generation that has studied and automated a old process to make maximum profit.

At least they still value and respect craftsmanship. IMHO the US has been economically ruined by decades of people actively looking down on the trades, even though we claim to value “craftsmanship” in the products we choose to buy. For decades, it’s been “everyone should go to university”, which is bad for everyone: we need skilled tradespeople, and having people at university who aren’t academically-focused is a disservice to them and their classmates. I am American but live in Switzerland, which is a place where the trades (and other vocational training) aren’t looked down on, with the result that the vast majority of people here do not go to university, but do apprenticeships instead (including in banking and chocolate making). It’s why Switzerland manufactures all sorts of things, but its centuries of focusing on quality is why Switzerland still has a robust industry manufacturing the precision tools that the whole world uses to make the nice products we consumers buy.
Wish I could visit this place, perhaps getting a model from every step of the process to make a display, showing every step...

Ah, that’s too bad 😕 So soft vinyl figures aren’t sold in stores, are perhaps only for collectors? Do you know who buys them and where? I was thinking that they might be a slightly rare but not uncommon toy in Japan. I understand that the company doesn’t make the toys themselves, only the molds for them, but thought that maybe such figures could be found in specialty shops in Tokyo. It would be very interesting to visit the factory (I am an engineer, so I always love talking to people about how they make things), but I speak only a few words of Japanese, and wouldn’t want to bother them during their busy work day, when I wouldn’t be making a video about them that would bring publicity. The business is only about an hour from Ikebukuro though, where I’ll be staying for most of my time there, it would be fun to visit. It was a fascinating video though, I’m going to watch many more of yours now! (I don’t have the time, but I’d love to make very detailed videos about how things are made, especially in Japan because I love visiting there so much. As an engineer and also with a background in science, I tend to ask very deep questions as part of understanding the manufacturing process. Most people would not be interested in such detail, but I think other engineers would be. I know that whenever I get to ask production line people and manufacturing engineers about just how they do things, they are often _so_ happy to have someone so interested in the details of what they do, and how they overcame various obstacles. This video reminded me of how much I love having those conversations 😁) Thank you for replying to my comment!
