The process of making a tea whisk. Ultimate Japanese hospitality tool inherited from 500 years ago. SUIGENKYO 2023-09-02 | Hi Guys!!! This video introduces the process of making a tea whisk. Ultimate Japanese hospitality tool inherited from 500 years ago. Although mass production is the norm in recent days, all matcha whisks are made by craftsmen, and they can only make about 5 tea whisks in a day.The process of making a tea whisk consists of splitting bamboo cut to about 10 cm in length into more than 100 pieces with a special blade, shaving it, and weaving the threads to complete the process.All of these processes are done by hand and fingers, without the use of machines.▶Product in Video: https://suigenkyo.store/collections/suikaen※Free international shipping on ALL COUNTRIES orders over $150🌸▶To Our SupportersWe are looking for people to support our activities on the “Patreon” website. For more information, please see the URL below.patreon.com/SUIGENKYO▶Craftsman ProfileKeiichiro Tanimura / SuikaenAfter graduating from high school, Keiichiro Tanimura left his hometown to study in the U.S. and worked in a Japanese company. However, with a desire to "contribute to my hometown by taking over the family business that has been passed down from generation to generation," I started my apprenticeship as a tea whisk master under my father, the third generation Suikaen master.▶Craftsman Passion"One matcha whisk for each family"In order to make the tea whisk more familiar to people, we have been producing new types of tea whisks such as using colorful threads or adding charms to the whisks, while keeping the traditional manufacturing method, overcoming my father's objection.We want to make the tea whisk so familiar in daily life that people in Nara always have a tea whisk in their homes. Our goal is to have one in every household!Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!▶Contact: contact@suigenkyo.com© 2022 Suigenkyo Ltd.

WHY TOP CHEFS WORLDWIDE TRUST THIS MASTER: THE ART OF MAKING JAPANESE KNIVES #process #asmr SUIGENKYO 2026-09-02 | Hi Guys!!! This video introduces the process of crafting a Japanese kitchen knives. In Japan, almost 90% of chefs choose Sakai Uchihamono. Even today, each knife is made by hand in a 15-step process, and the sharpness of the blade is enough to make a chef’s heartbeat faster. The Japanese knives have a “single-beveled” which is unique compared to other knives in the world, and the razor-sharp blade is excellent for cutting fish when preparing Japanese food. It shows a brilliant cut on the food and brings out the best flavor without crushing the cells. As the Japanese food boom such as sashimi and sushi are taking place overseas, the tools used to make such Japanese food are also receiving attention, spurring their popularity. Izumi Riki Seisakusho Co., Ltd. has expanded into the United States, Singapore, and France. Also, they receive advice from top chefs outside of Japan, and works hard every day to develop products that can meet the needs of all genres including Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. Stainless steel knives are inexpensive and easy to maintain, while forged blades are expensive and prone to spills. However, just by adding the routine of “sharpening” before cooking, you will not only improve the sharpness of your knives but also make your cooking time more enjoyable. Why not give it a try?Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!

It is a practical gem with a wide variety of colors, elasticity, and durability.▶Characteristics of Iga-KumihimoIga-Kumihimo is a type of cord made in Mie Prefecture. The main material is silk thread, and gold and silver threads and chains are used to make colorful kumihimo. 4, 8, and 24-strand braids are handmade by the craftsmen. The more braids are made, the more the expression of the craft changes. Also, the beauty of the braids, which intermingle and shine, is created by hand. The Takadai, which is used to make the most luxurious cords, can produce intricate patterns, and the handiwork of veteran craftsmen who move nearly 70 weights to assemble elegant braided cords is mesmerizing to behold.Contact: contact@suigenkyo.com© 2026 Suigenkyo Ltd.

The Process of Flying 26 Buddhist Statues by Drone: Using a 1,500-Year-Old Technique SUIGENKYO 2026-07-18 | The Process of Flying 26 Buddhist Statues by Drone: Powered by 1,500 Years of TraditionBuddhist statues emerged around the 1st century in India as a visual embodiment of Buddhist teachings. Here at Tsuchimikado Bussho, we honor the 1500-year history of Japanese Buddhist devotion and aesthetic expression, while giving shape to the Raigo (the descent of Amida Buddha) through a novel approach that blends contemporary technology with artistic vision: the "Drone Buddha." Although the medium of presentation evolves with the times, the core philosophy and compassionate wishes of the Buddha remain unchanged. We fly these Drone Buddhas with the hope that they will spark curiosity and deeply move the hearts of younger generations and those encountering Buddhism for the very first time.Raigo refers to the Pure Land Buddhist belief that Amida Buddha, accompanied by various bodhisattvas, descends from the Western Pure Land on a cloud to welcome the soul of a dying believer. Since the Heian period, this sacred moment has been depicted in countless paintings and sculptures. While master sculptors of the past devised ingenious ways to express the illusion of the Buddha floating in mid-air, Tsuchimikado Bussho has realized this age-old dream using modern technology. Our process begins by 3D-scanning a meticulously hand-carved Buddhist statue. To make it light enough to fly, we hollow out the 3D data and replicate the form using a 3D printer. This replica is then meticulously finished with traditional Japanese lacquer and gold leaf before being integrated with a drone, giving birth to a Buddha that truly soars through the sky. Conveying the image of the Buddha in a way that resonates with the current era—it is this unwavering devotion of the Buddhist sculptor that drives our ongoing challenge.▶Special ThanksA heartfelt thank you to Ryugan-ji Temple in Kyoto. This drone performance was made possible through their incredible generosity in opening their sacred temple gates to our contemporary artistic vision. We are forever grateful for this beautiful collaboration.Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!▶Contact: contact@suigenkyo.com© 2026 Suigenkyo Ltd.

The Process of Making fine art by sculpting Japanese bamboo with fire and urushi SUIGENKYO 2026-07-11 | The Process of Making Fine Art: Transforming Bamboo Through the Sacred Art of “Wari”WARI is a striking contemporary sculpture and functional masterpiece inspired by the foundational engineering step of Japanese bamboo basketry: take-wari (bamboo splitting). Bamboo possesses a rare, dual nature—it splits with absolute geometric honesty along its fiber, yet retains a fierce, unyielding elasticity that resists fracturing.In this video, discover the uncompromised process of shaping this living medium. By splitting a single stalk of raw bamboo, masterfully bending its newly freed filaments, and weaving the separated elements back into a unified structure, the artisan reconstructs a functional object that bridges fine art and minimalist luxury. The outer facade preserves the organic, raw texture of the earth, while the inner curvature is coated in sacred, deep layers of rich urushi lacquer.At Suigenkyo Kyoto, we believe that authentic Japanese traditional crafts do not merely decorate a space—they introduce an ancient, meditative focus into modern architectural environments. Explore how the act of splitting becomes not destruction, but a beautiful genesis of form.We are honored to accept orders for bamboo artworks.For inquiries or to place an order, please contact us at the email address below:▶contact@suigenkyo.com▶Craftsman Profile: cultureclub.designcultureclub.design is a progressive design studio specializing in spatial architectures and interior experiences that seamlessly cross disciplinary boundaries—spanning commercial spaces, custom exhibitions, furniture, fine art objects, and event directions.The studio’s foundational philosophy was born from their direct experience operating "culture club"—a unique, multifaceted venue in Nakazakicho, Osaka, that seamlessly integrated a boutique bar and a contemporary gallery.

SUIGENKYO 2026-06-13 | This video introduces the process of making a handcrafting contemporary art panels.The Origins and Evolution of Karakami: From Ancient Import to Traditional MasterpieceThe term Karakami originally referred to paper imported from China. Just as other foreign goods brought into Japan were historically designated as karamono (literally "Tang items"), the name signifies "foreign paper," specifically denoting paper of Chinese origin.These unique papers were first imported during the era of the Kentoshi (Japanese envoys to Tang Dynasty China) and were eagerly utilized well before the development of native Japanese paper (washi). However, following the cessation of the Kentoshi missions during the Tempyo era, the suspension of direct imports prompted the domestic production of Japan’s own locally crafted Karakami.Over time, as aristocrats embraced this paper for writing poetry, composing waka, and copying sacred sutras, variants featuring elegant printed motifs began to emerge. Known as Mon-karakami (patterned Karakami), these exquisitely decorated sheets became the direct archetype for the Karakami used on sliding doors (fusuma) today.It is highly probable that after imports ceased, Japanese artisans initially produced Karakami as a luxury medium for fine arts and calligraphy. Later, as production capacities expanded, it successfully branched into architectural use for fusuma sliding panels. Interestingly, historical evidence suggests that Karakami was frequently used for translucent shoji screens even before it became a standard fixture on fusuma.Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!▶Contact: contact@suigenkyo.com© 2026 Suigenkyo Ltd.
