00:00The craftsman's techniques are not just flashy.
00:05It's starting to look like a tower.
00:08It's a simple task that no one will notice, so I want you to take a look.
00:15It may not look like it, but it's a great technique.
00:21We came to Hotaku, Tokyo.
00:26Oh, here it is. Isn't it here?
00:30This is a tatami shop.
00:34Good morning.
00:36Nice to meet you. My name is Tobata.
00:39This time, I want you to see my amazing technique.
00:45Tatami craftsman Hiroshi Yanai.
00:48He has been making tatami for 35 years.
00:51He is a tatami craftsman who represents Japan, including general housing and gokokuji.
00:58It's amazing.
01:00I'm an order maid, so I make the shape that suits the room.
01:03I think it's okay to make one by one by hand.
01:08I think it's boring because it's a simple task.
01:11That's right. It's boring, but I want you to take a look.
01:16There are hidden techniques.
01:18Hidden techniques?
01:20In the process of making tatami, which we will show you now,
01:24Mr. Yanai's amazing techniques are hidden.
01:29Everyone, please take a look while predicting what it is.
01:34First of all, I will hit the tatami mat.
01:36Hit the tatami?
01:38Tatami mat is a part that is the foundation of tatami made of straw.
01:44It's easy to do, but tatami is very heavy.
01:48How heavy is it?
01:50It's about 33 kg.
01:5233 kg?
01:54I've never thought about it.
02:00It's a simple task to hit the tatami mat with a special tool.
02:05What are you doing this for?
02:07This is so that there are no gaps.
02:10I put it in more and more.
02:13It's like increasing density.
02:15That's right.
02:18The next step is to put the tatami mat on the tatami mat.
02:22This is the process of tatami.
02:25Put the tatami mat on the tatami mat.
02:30First, cut the tatami mat according to the size of the tatami mat.
02:35The tatami mat is an important part that determines the grade of the tatami mat.
02:40Where does the tatami mat make a difference?
02:45The tatami mat is made of two vertical threads.
02:52This makes the tatami mat stand out.
02:54Is this a good grade?
02:56This is a good grade.
02:58I temporarily fix one side of the tatami mat on the tatami mat.
03:04For some reason, the tatami mat rides on the tatami mat.
03:07I put the tatami mat on the tatami mat and bend it.
03:09Do you bend the tatami mat?
03:11I bend the tatami mat so that the tatami mat does not fall.
03:14I temporarily fix the other side of the tatami mat.
03:17The tatami mat is fixed to the tatami mat.
03:20The tatami mat is fixed to the tatami mat.
03:24I turn the tatami mat upside down.
03:26I sew the tatami mat to the tatami mat.
03:33This is a lot of work.
03:37This is a lot of work.
03:46I sew the tatami mat to the tatami mat.
03:54This is not difficult.
03:58I sew the tatami mat to the tatami mat.
04:07I sew the tatami mat to the tatami mat.
04:11I cut the tatami mat.
04:16I cut the tatami mat.
04:19It's hard to cut the tatami mat.
04:22Do you cut the tatami mat with this?
04:24I cut the tatami mat with a large knife.
04:29I cut the tatami mat.
04:31I cut the tatami mat so that the tatami mat does not cut the tatami mat.
04:38This is amazing.
04:40This is amazing.
04:43The sound of cutting the tatami mat is very good.
04:48I haven't cut the tatami mat at all.
04:51This is the skill of a craftsman.
04:54This is amazing.
04:57This is amazing.
05:00This is amazing.
05:02This is very beautiful.
05:04Thank you very much.
05:07I wrap the collar on one side of the tatami mat and temporarily fix it.
05:16This is fast.
05:18This is amazing.
05:20I finish this.
05:24This is the final process.
05:28I attach a straw to the bottom of the tatami mat.
05:32I adjust the height of the tatami mat.
05:34Straws are stacked on top of each other.
05:38Straws are made flat, but they are slightly different.
05:42Straws compensate for that.
05:44I sew a straw under the tatami mat.
05:47I adjust the height of the tatami mat so that it is even.
05:51I put the needle up.
05:56I sew a straw.
05:59I sew a straw.
06:03You can adjust the height of the tatami mat.
06:08Have you ever done that?
06:10I adjust the height of the tatami mat.
06:14I adjust the height of the tatami mat.
06:19I don't understand it at all.
06:22I sew a straw.
06:24I adjust the height of the tatami mat.
06:27This is the finished product.
06:30I've seen the process so far.
06:32All the tatami mats were amazing.
06:34What do you want people to see?
06:37It takes time to remember.
06:40But no one notices it.
06:43It looks plain.
06:45People don't notice it because it's plain.
06:48What is the most difficult process?
06:52What is the most difficult process?
06:58Please think about it.
07:01You adjusted the height of the tatami mat with your fingertips.
07:04Isn't it that feeling?
07:06I know the thickness is different.
07:09But I don't know how many straws I can get.
07:14It's a great feeling.
07:16This is the first step.
07:18This is the first step.
07:20This is the first step.
07:22We don't know what you're doing.
07:24When I leave this to other people, I fail the most.
07:29What do you think?
07:32What is YANAI's amazing technique?
07:37This is the process of cutting the tatami mat.
07:43The process of cutting the tatami mat.
07:45How difficult is it?
07:48I'm nervous.
07:49She is challenging.
07:52Are you okay?
07:53I'm scared.
07:55I can cut it with a kitchen knife.
07:58It's shaking a lot.
08:01It's shaking a lot.
08:04It's a completely different craftsman.
08:06It's shaking a lot.
08:08I can't do it.
08:10I can't cut it straight.
08:13The cross section of the tatami mat she cut is uneven.
08:20YANAI doesn't just cut it straight.
08:25You need to be careful.
08:29Look at this.
08:32It's very beautiful.
08:35It's beautiful.
08:37Look at the cross section.
08:39It's a cross section.
08:41It's a little slanted.
08:44It's slanted.
08:49When I look at the cross section of the tatami mat, there is a gap.
08:55Why is the tatami mat slanted?
08:59The tatami mat will be pulled out.
09:03If the tatami mat is pulled out, the tatami mat will be pulled out.
09:09I made a gap so that the tatami mat would not be pushed against each other.
09:14You made a gap.
09:17Even if the tatami mat is pushed out, the tatami mat will not be pushed against each other.
09:22I made a gap.
09:25You need a lot of technology for that.
09:28I'll give you a tip on how to use a knife.
09:32Focus on one point and cut it.
09:35Look at this part of the knife.
09:41Look at this part of the knife at a certain angle so that it doesn't look like this.
09:46Look at this part of the knife and cut it.
09:50He is a craftsman who focuses on one point of a large knife.
09:57How many years has it been?
09:59Can you show us the technique you want us to see?
10:02Yes, I understand.
10:04Let's be clear.
10:06It's plain, so it doesn't look like a knife at all.
10:09Tatami craftsman Hiroshi Yanai.
10:12It's hard to see, but it's a great technique.
10:16Please take a look.
10:21I want to try it.
10:27It's a diagonal cut.
10:28That's right.
10:30I can see the difficulty.
10:33There is no failure.
10:35This is amazing.
10:37Focus all your nerves on one point of the knife.
10:43This technique cuts at a precise angle.
10:47It takes five years to master.
10:53The last one.
10:56That's great.
10:59That's amazing.
11:01If you see tatami, please remember this technique.
11:08Next is the Harada Sakan Industries, which has been in business for 75 years.
11:15It is a Sakan company that boasts the best technology in Japan.
11:22That's right.
11:23The person who came up with the idea of this technique is Eichi Yokoyama.
11:28He has been a Sakan craftsman for 32 years.
11:34Ordinary people don't know the finished product.
11:37They think it's just painting.
11:39I want people to see the actual work and see how amazing it is.
11:45I see.
11:46First, I will show you the general work process of Sakan.
11:51First of all, you need to apply the base coat.
11:54The base coat is already applied here.
11:57I haven't applied the base coat yet.
12:01There is a step.
12:02I see.
12:03Apply the base coat once flat.
12:08The base coat is used exclusively.
12:12First, start painting from the step.
12:15Make the whole flat and make the base of the wall painting.
12:21And when the base coat is finished,
12:25This is the plaster.
12:28Plaster is made of plaster.
12:34It is a process of making a plaster that is applied to the wall when it is finished.
12:43It's amazing.
12:45There is a softness that you like.
12:49I adjust the hardness of the plaster while looking at the softness of the material.
12:56Adjust the hardness according to the temperature and humidity of the day.
13:03Make only the feeling transmitted from the mixer.
13:11Then, apply the plaster to the whole and finish the wall.
13:16It's amazing.
13:21After applying the plaster once, attach the pattern.
13:25Pattern?
13:28I will attach it.
13:32Is the pattern like that?
13:34That's right.
13:35I have seen such a wall.
13:37I will show you in three dimensions.
13:40What kind of pattern is this?
13:42This is an art random.
13:44Art random?
13:48It is a finishing work to attach a pattern using a cotton swab.
13:51It's like this.
13:53It seems easy at first glance.
13:58But when you try it,
14:00It's difficult.
14:03You can't even paint the plaster.
14:07It's difficult.
14:09What is the technique that Mr. Yokoyama wants you to see?
14:14It's a pattern.
14:15You can attach various patterns.
14:18The difficulty changes depending on the pattern.
14:20I see.
14:21This time, we will compare the difficulty of the three patterns that are often seen in plaster.
14:27Mr. Uwa, please look at these three patterns.
14:30These are patterns that are often seen.
14:32That's right.
14:33This is a cotton swab.
14:36Cotton swab?
14:37This is a flat pattern.
14:41This is an art random.
14:43This is an art random.
14:45All of them seem difficult.
14:47Which one is the most difficult?
14:50Which pattern is the most difficult pattern that Mr. Yokoyama wants you to see?
14:59The cotton swab pattern of pattern A seems to be difficult because it seems to overlap.
15:07I see.
15:08When you make that pattern, the bottom of the pattern will come out.
15:12So it's difficult to make it even.
15:15The pattern of the pattern A seems to be even.
15:23It's difficult to make it flat.
15:26The pattern of the pattern B seems to be difficult.
15:29Why?
15:30The pattern of the pattern B seems to be difficult.
15:32I'm angry with the way you say it.
15:33I decided to make the pattern of the pattern B.
15:36I thought you would say that.
15:38The pattern of the pattern B is very difficult.
15:40The pattern of the pattern B is a prelude to the future English.
15:45So each pattern has to be the same.
15:47What is the third place?
15:49The third place is the pattern of the pattern B.
15:52What?
15:54As the name suggests, you will make a wave pattern with a cotton swab.
15:58If it's a wave pattern, it seems easy.
16:02OBATA will try to make a wave pattern with a cotton swab.
16:09I will make a wave pattern with a cotton swab.
16:12I think I can do it.
16:14I can't do it at all.
16:16There is a hole in the cotton swab.
16:19It is far from the pattern of the cotton swab.
16:23Since Mr. Obata made this as the axis,
16:27this part was torn off.
16:29So I drew a big circle.
16:32I see.
16:33This is the pattern.
16:35And you can make a wave pattern on the outside.
16:40You can float your head diagonally.
16:43You can make an angle.
16:44You can make a wave pattern at the edge.
16:48Mr. Yokoyama thinks the third place is difficult.
16:52He will make a wave pattern with a cotton swab.
16:54He will make a wave pattern with a cotton swab.
16:57I will take a good look at it.
16:59It's a soft touch.
17:02I see.
17:04It's beautiful.
17:06It's a soft touch.
17:09It's amazing.
17:11It's beautiful.
17:14He will make a wave pattern with a soft touch.
17:19It's wonderful.
17:21Is this the second place?
17:23The pattern is flat.
17:27Who will use the most difficult technique?
17:31Who is the second place?
17:33I see.
17:35And
17:37It's the top of the tree.
17:41Please tell us the salary of the life-and-death job.
17:49Mr. Yokoyama is a professional craftsman.
17:54Which pattern will he use the most difficult technique?
17:58Who is the second place?
18:00The second place is this.
18:02It's a puller.
18:04I see.
18:05Why did you choose this?
18:06There is a trick to make a pattern with a cotton swab.
18:11The puller is completed after two processes.
18:15First of all, the puller is made into a mountain shape.
18:19The cotton swab is made into a mountain shape.
18:29It's a mountain shape.
18:31The height of the mountain is different.
18:34The puller is made into a mountain shape.
18:45It's a little gentle.
18:47I agree.
18:49It's difficult to make a pattern.
18:54It's a craftsmanship to make a pattern of a mountain shape.
19:05It takes at least a year to master.
19:11Who is the first place?
19:16The first place is this.
19:18It's flat.
19:20Do you think it's easy to make a flat finish?
19:24To be honest, I thought so.
19:26We are having a hard time.
19:29We can't understand it.
19:31I'm a little frustrated.
19:34In fact, there are many processes.
19:37One of the reasons is that it is difficult to make a flat finish.
19:40First of all, I paint the puller once.
19:44If the water is absorbed, the wall will be uneven.
19:49After adjusting the water, I paint the puller again.
19:54I paint the puller twice.
19:56After that, I paint the puller evenly.
19:59I check the dryness of the puller.
20:02It's a hassle.
20:04How long does it take?
20:06It takes about 3 to 4 hours.
20:14It takes about 30 minutes to make a pattern.
20:19It takes 6 hours to make a flat finish.
20:23There are many processes, so there is a risk of mistakes.
20:28The finished product is just a flat wall.
20:32I can't tell how good it is.
20:37It's plain, so it doesn't look good.
20:41A professional craftsman, EIICHI NOKOYAMA.
20:45This is an amazing technique.
20:49Look at this.
20:54This is the first layer.
20:56This is beautiful.
20:59This is amazing.
21:04Can you tell the difference in thickness?
21:08I can tell the difference in thickness.
21:11I check the thickness of the first layer.
21:18This is the first layer.
21:22This is beautiful.
21:27Is there a point when painting the second layer?
21:30Of course, there is a point when painting the second layer.
21:33If you scratch it, you can't paint the first layer.
21:41You can paint the second layer with the same amount of paint.
21:45This is amazing.
21:48He paints the second layer with a thickness of about 1 mm.
21:54He is very delicate.
21:59I don't feel like I'm scraping the first layer.
22:03I feel like I'm painting a layer on top of the first layer.
22:07This is a technique that can be done by a professional craftsman for 3 to 4 years.
22:15I can't do this for a day or two.
22:18This is a technique that can only be done by a professional craftsman.
22:22This is called flat painting.
22:26The second layer has been completed.
22:29However, an hour has passed.
22:32I can see the unevenness of the paint.
22:37Is the paint floating?
22:39The water will come out of the paint.
22:41Then the paint will be uneven.
22:43So I use a brush to flatten the paint.
22:47It takes a lot of work.
22:49I use a brush to flatten the paint.
22:54How much force do you use?
22:57I use less force than when I paint.
23:00You use more force.
23:01The paint is hard.
23:04This is a technique, but it takes a lot of work.
23:10After three steps, the flat painting is completed.
23:15This is amazing.
23:17This is very detailed.
23:20This is very time-consuming.
23:22Does the price change?
23:24Yes.
23:25The price is doubled or tripled.
23:30I didn't know that.
23:32Everyone, when you look at the flat wall, remember this technique.
23:40This is amazing.
23:43This is simple, but it takes a lot of work.
23:46This is doubled or tripled.
