00:16Speak of the devil and he will appear
00:19Speaking of the devil and he will appear
00:23In Japan, if you make a rumor, a shadow will appear
00:2840 years living in Japan
00:33Far East Japan
00:35Why do you live in Japan?
00:40Because you are a foreigner, you can see the beauty of Japan
00:48We will know
00:57Foreigners who love Kyoto
01:09Foreigners who love Kyoto
01:13Good morning
01:16How are you?
01:18I'm fine
01:20This is a famous store in Kyoto
01:24This is a corner brush
01:27Corner brush?
01:28Corner brush
01:30When you clean your store
01:35It's a little next to it
01:41It's a little next to it
01:47It's about 30 cm
01:50If you do it in front of the other house
01:54It's said that the front of the house is dirty
01:58It's a ramen shop
02:00I have to be careful and clean my store
02:05I think it's a corner brush that started with a thought
02:09It has a name
02:12Corner brush
02:13It's called a corner brush
02:15Are you doing that too?
02:17Of course
02:18Randy Channel
02:24My hometown is about 7,900 km away from Japan
02:33Edmonton, Canada
02:36Beautiful city
02:38I was born to my father, who works in an oil company, and my mother, who is a librarian
02:44I was attracted to Bruce Lee
02:46The boy who longed for a fighter
02:48For some reason now
02:51I live in Kyoto
02:55This is my store
02:59Is that so?
03:00Is that so?
03:01That's right
03:02A shop called Ran Hotei
03:05Randy is a cafe in the shopping district of Kyoto
03:09The owner of Ran Hotei
03:11It opened in 2007
03:15This design image
03:18Taisho Roman and Art Deco
03:21The building itself was built in 1843
03:24Kyomachiya
03:25Kyomachiya Kaiso
03:26That's right
03:27It's not a designer
03:28That's right
03:29This person is the store manager
03:33Yukiko Kuriyama
03:36Manager
03:38What kind of person is Randy?
03:40I usually feel like an overseas person
03:43What kind of person do you think?
03:46It's winter now
03:48Shorts and short sleeves
03:50It's funny
03:51It's funny
03:52There are people like this
03:54Yes
03:56Randy, who looks light in his tea eyes
03:59Actually
04:03Oops
04:05Oops
04:08The history of operation is 40 years
04:10I want to try tea
04:14Ryuhawa Ura Senke
04:16It is said that the number of people who taught is more than 10,000
04:22This day is the practice of the teachers
04:25What is it?
04:26It's like sightseeing
04:27It's not over there
04:29It's not over there
04:32The center of gravity is straight
04:38It's like this
04:39It's not like that
04:41It's like this
04:42Is that so?
04:46This is the front
04:53I told you earlier
04:55It's always like this
04:58The front seat is like this
05:00I can't reach it
05:01It's like this
05:04It's quite distorted
05:05Straighten it
05:06Why?
05:07Something
05:08It's the opposite
05:10It's an image with various rules
05:12In the end, everything seems to be linear
05:16It was quiet today
05:20Because there are various cameras
05:22It's tough, but I feel love
05:27Mr. Ramby is a professor at Doshisha University in the same year
05:36He is the only one who has acquired high technology in Ura Senke in 2011
05:45Tea is a comprehensive art
05:49In tea, you need to be aware of the shadow axis, baked goods, painted goods, architecture, garden, and analysis
06:01That's right
06:07But why did the Canadian who longed for martial arts go down the road of tea?
06:18Why do I live in Japan?
06:27Nice to meet you, I'm Kasumi Takahashi
06:29I'm Miki Handa
06:30Nice to meet you
06:31I'm Soei Ramby
06:32Nice to meet you
06:33Nice to meet you
06:34Mr. Ramby runs a cafe in Kyoto
06:37That's right
06:38You are a tea teacher
06:40That's right
06:41And your age is unrevealed
06:43That's right
06:44If you ask me, I don't know
06:47How old are you?
06:48I don't understand English
06:51People say that the world of tea is deep
06:57It's a world of peace and tranquility
06:59Peace and tranquility
07:00That's right
07:01It's important to cherish your feelings
07:05I don't mean to be rude
07:07If you don't mind, I'd like to give you a cup of tea
07:10I said I'd like to give you a cup of tea
07:14But I don't know anything about tea
07:16I'm sure you'll be scolded
07:18That's right
07:19I'll be scolded
07:20Don't worry
07:21What I'm going to do now is called Bonnyaku
07:24Put it on top of the tea pot and use a tool
07:27But originally, there was a way to make a table chair-style tea called Ryurei
07:34There was a tea ceremony in Kyoto
07:37In the 5th year of the Meiji era, in the 11th century,
07:40To convey the spirit of hospitality,
07:43I made a table chair-style tea
07:45I wanted to give tea to people who couldn't sit
07:49I see
08:01Thank you
08:03In the case of tea, I eat sweets first and then make tea
08:08There are ways to eat
08:11First of all, lift your eyes up and thank
08:15It's more important to break than to bite
08:20In the meantime, I'll call your name
08:23Actually, I'll be quiet, but I'll talk a little today
08:26I see
08:27Now I'm going to clean the tools in front of the customer's eyes
08:32With a sense of respect and gratitude
08:34I'll clean the tools in front of you again
08:37Do you want to eat ham?
08:39Please
08:40Can I have some ham?
08:42You can have it
08:43Don't worry
08:44Thank you
08:49Today's sweets are Joyo Manju
08:53Delicious
08:55Delicious
09:00Now I'm going to make tea
09:22I'm going to make tea
09:29This is how you make tea
09:32I'll make tea
09:35Can I sit down?
09:36Please sit down
09:37Turn with your left hand
09:40Turn with your right hand
09:42Please come to the front
09:44Please come to the front
09:45Thank and lift
09:48Imagine a clock
09:50The right thumb is about 2 o'clock
09:53Lift it up and turn it until 4 o'clock
09:56Turn it again from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock twice
10:00The meaning of turning it is to shift the front
10:03After the front shifts, drink
10:06With a sense of respect
10:08It's not good to drink about 10 times
10:11Is it okay?
10:12It's not good
10:13It's not good
10:14It's not good
10:15You don't have to say thank you
10:17You don't have to say thank you
10:20You don't have to say thank you
10:22You don't have to say thank you
10:23You don't have to say thank you
10:27This is the real way
10:29The first cup is a sound
10:31Make a sound
10:32It's like a signal
10:35You can't just look at it after you serve tea
10:37So hold it like this
10:39If you hear the sound of the first cup, put the fuchsia on your waist
10:42It's like that
10:44At the end, the customer will say to the host
10:46This is delicious, I want to drink it all
10:48Take a breath
10:51That kind of sound
10:52That kind of sound is a breath
10:54And now I'm going to serve
10:57So face me once or twice
11:02And I'll serve there
11:04And I'll do this
11:08From there, close the front of your hand
11:12It was pretty hard work
11:14I don't usually say that
11:15I don't say that
11:17I don't say that
11:18I see
11:24So why is Randy from Canada the professor of Urasen in Kyoto?
11:29Let's find out
11:32Randy was born in Victoria, Canada
11:35and grew up in Edmonton
11:37This is Edmonton
11:39It looks cold.
11:41It's about minus 67.
11:4367?
11:47Randy was born in Victoria, Canada.
11:50He grew up in Edmonton.
11:52Edmonton is this way.
11:55It looks cold.
11:57The coldest temperature I've ever experienced is about minus 67.
12:0267?
12:04When I was a kid, the average temperature in January and February was minus 20.
12:10Minus 20?
12:11Yes, on average.
12:12For example, when I washed my jeans,
12:14I forgot to take them off until late at night.
12:17They were really hard.
12:20It was really like that.
12:21I see.
12:22In the beginning of the video, you were wearing short sleeves.
12:25Yes.
12:26Here is a picture of Randy when he was a kid.
12:29Here is a picture of Randy when he was a kid.
12:32You look cool in your boots.
12:34Did you act mischievously?
12:36I didn't do anything wrong at that time.
12:38You didn't do anything wrong.
12:39I started to like fighting since I was in middle school or high school.
12:44You started to like fighting.
12:45That's why I play ice hockey.
12:47I have to have a part of ice hockey.
12:51Here is a picture of Randy when he was a kid.
12:57I admire him.
12:58Right?
12:59I admire him.
13:00You understand, right?
13:01You don't have to say anything.
13:02We are the same age.
13:03Yes, we are.
13:05You are getting older.
13:09Did you start Kung Fu?
13:11Yes, I started Kung Fu in Canada.
13:17After graduating from a local university, Randy went to Hong Kong to learn real Kung Fu.
13:23He couldn't meet Bruce Lee at that time, but he went to a Kung Fu dojo and trained.
13:32You have to work in Hong Kong, right?
13:34I was in a Hong Kong movie.
13:38You were in a Hong Kong movie?
13:39Yes.
13:40I played a stuntman and I was in a Hong Kong drama.
13:46I was in a Hong Kong drama.
13:48You are fine because I came to Hong Kong.
13:52I was in a Hong Kong drama.
13:56You were an action actor.
13:59How long did you live in Hong Kong?
14:02I lived in Hong Kong for 48 years.
14:04You had a choice to live in Hong Kong, but now you live in Japan.
14:10It's strange.
14:12When you lived in Hong Kong and trained Kung Fu, you came across a sign of life.
14:20Here it is.
14:26When I went to see a movie, an actor used a pencil to draw a sentence.
14:37When he drew a sentence, he used a pencil to draw a sentence.
14:44I didn't know what it was, so I asked a teacher what it was.
14:51He explained it to me.
14:56Randy learned that people can't live only with Kung Fu, but also have to learn cultural education.
15:03He decided to learn more about Kung Fu.
15:09And he learned about Japanese samurai.
15:16Japanese samurai are good at Kung Fu.
15:21For example, Musashi is good at Kung Fu.
15:28I found it interesting.
15:30Samurai are good at Kung Fu.
15:33Randy came to Hong Kong to learn more about Kung Fu.
15:40It's strange.
15:42It's painful.
15:45I went to Hong Kong with my friends.
15:50I thought I could learn Kung Fu in Hong Kong.
15:54I came to Japan to learn more about Kung Fu.
16:04Randy came to Japan to learn more about Kung Fu.
16:14Randy started living in Tokyo to learn more about Kung Fu.
16:19However, he couldn't find a job for three months.
16:27Finally, he found a job in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
16:33It was his destiny.
16:37First of all, Kendo and Iai are almost the same.
16:41It's Bu, right?
16:43Yes, it is.
16:45You started with Bu.
16:47Randy started with Bu in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
16:51Look at this.
16:53It's interesting.
16:58Randy started with Bu in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
17:02Look at this.
17:06Kendo, Kyudo, Iaido, Naginata, Nito-ryu.
17:10It's all Danmotsu.
17:12It's all Yudansha.
17:14Nito-ryu is difficult.
17:16Is Nito-ryu short for long sword?
17:19Yes, it is.
17:20The left one is short sword and the right one is large sword.
17:24I see.
17:25What happened to Bu?
17:27Randy finally found Bu in Bunbu-ryodo.
17:31It was here.
17:34Tea here?
17:36Yes.
17:37You started with tea while doing Budo.
17:39Yes.
17:40Where did you meet tea?
17:42The woman next to me was a tea teacher.
17:46Her name was Ms. Murakami.
17:48I'm glad to hear that.
17:50Yes.
17:51When I met Ms. Murakami,
17:53I learned a lot from her.
17:57She had something in common with Budo.
17:59For example, you hold a water bottle like this.
18:03For Kendo, you hold it like this.
18:05For Yumi, you hold it like this.
18:08You can see her posture, walking style, and bowing style.
18:13You can see the difference in Budo.
18:15Yes.
18:16That's why I got into tea practice.
18:18Here is a picture of Ms. Murakami,
18:20who became a tea teacher.
18:25She died when she was 102 years old,
18:28but she taught tea until she was 98 years old.
18:31If I hadn't met her,
18:34I wouldn't be here.
18:36I'm sure.
18:37How long did you study with Ms. Murakami?
18:40We studied together for about 7 or 8 years.
18:44Mr. Landy moved to this town
18:48about 8 years after he moved to Matsumoto.
18:50Here it is.
18:52You're in Kyoto now.
18:54Yes.
18:55Why did you come to Kyoto?
18:57I went to Uresen Kei Sennmon Gakko.
19:00It's in Kyoto.
19:01You went to a tea school?
19:03Yes.
19:04I went to Uresen Kei Sennmon Gakko
19:06for 3 or 4 years.
19:08You were studying,
19:09but you wanted to do it again.
19:11Yes.
19:12I wanted to do it again.
19:15I've never heard of such a tea school.
19:18I've never heard of it.
19:19It's an authentic school.
19:20Yes.
19:21I'll show it to you later on VTR.
19:23I see.
19:24I'm looking forward to it.
19:25I'm looking forward to it.
19:26He'll show it to us on VTR.
19:28You've been in Kyoto since then?
19:30Yes.
19:31What's so attractive about Kyoto?
19:33In Japan and abroad,
19:35Kyoto is an old city.
19:38The real Kyoto is old and new.
19:42There's East, West, Old and New.
19:45I think that's interesting.
19:47Randy will show us
19:50the old and new of Kyoto.
20:04Good morning.
20:05Good morning.
20:06Nice to meet you.
20:08Are you wearing a kimono today?
20:10Yes, I am.
20:11I'm going to show you
20:13important places from now on.
20:15I think this outfit is better.
20:17I'll show you not only the old place,
20:19but also the new place.
20:21Nice to meet you.
20:22Nice to meet you, too.
20:24First of all, this way.
20:27This way?
20:28Yes, this way.
20:30First of all, this way.
20:33Isn't it new?
20:36Where is it?
20:37It's Kyoto Station.
20:39It's the entrance of Kyoto.
20:42When I moved to Kyoto,
20:45this was the old station.
20:47It was the 4th station.
20:50The first station of Kyoto Station
20:52was built in 1877
20:54with a red brick building.
20:57After that,
20:58the number of passengers increased.
21:00In 1914,
21:01the 2nd station was completed
21:03to build the Sohinoki,
21:05but it disappeared.
21:07In 1953,
21:09the 3rd station was built
21:11to build the Tekkin Concrete.
21:15After that,
21:16the Shinkansen was opened.
21:18In 1997,
21:20the 4th station was reformed.
21:24At first,
21:25the entrance of Kyoto Station
21:27was a modern design.
21:29Many people criticized it.
21:32It's really modern.
21:35This is more like Kyoto.
21:38This is more like Kyoto.
21:39Kyoto is a traditional city.
21:42But Kyoto is a positive city.
21:45It's creative.
21:46I think it's good.
21:47I think it's good.
21:48I think it's good.
21:50First,
21:51let's go to the school of the Urasen family
21:55This building is quite old.
21:57It was built 500 years ago.
22:01The building of the Urasen family
22:03has been here for a long time.
22:08The Sennorikyu,
22:09which is said to be the origin of Sado,
22:11is not only a place where people drank tea
22:13during the Azuchi-Momoyama period,
22:15but also a place where people studied
22:17the spirit of tea-making, tea-making,
22:19hospitality, etc.
22:21and made it popular as a culture.
22:24Later, in the early Edo period,
22:26the descendants of the Sennorikyu
22:28were divided into the Omotesen family,
22:30the Urasen family,
22:32and the Musyanokoji family.
22:34They inherited the culture until now.
22:36They inherited the culture until now.
22:38But they divided the family.
22:40The theory is different.
22:42From Sotanshi to the Sansen family.
22:44I think like this.
22:46I think like this.
22:48That's how they got to know each other.
22:51The first place is the Omotesen family.
22:55This gate.
22:57The Omotesen family.
22:59Yes, the Musyan family.
23:03Is Mr. Lanty the Urasen family?
23:05He is the Urasen family.
23:07Next door.
23:08Next door?
23:09That's right.
23:10Omote and Ura.
23:11Oh, really,
23:12there is a position for Omote and Ura.
23:14That's what it means.
23:15That's interesting.
23:17This is how you receive it.
23:19You turn it like this
23:21until the opponent pulls it.
23:23Then you can't pull the sword anymore.
23:25This is the base of the Namayatsuhashi.
23:27I wanted to eat it.
23:28I want to eat it.
23:29It's cute.
23:32This is the land of the Urasen family.
23:36This is the land of the Urasen family.
23:37This is the land of the Urasen family.
23:38That's right.
23:39Around here?
23:40That's right.
23:41This is the third Sotan family.
23:44Mr. Lanty, you've been here for a long time.
23:46Nice to meet you.
23:47Nice to meet you.
23:49This is the Heisei tea room.
23:52Heisei tea room?
23:53That's right.
23:54Is this a tea room built in Heisei?
23:55That's right.
23:56This is a tool shop.
23:59There is a tool shop in Yamashita.
24:04Is this a shop?
24:05This is a shop.
24:06That's right.
24:09This is the Kabutomon of the Urasen family.
24:14Kabutomon?
24:15This is the tea room of the Urasen family.
24:20Is there a tea room here all the time?
24:22That's right.
24:23This is the most important place for the Urasen family.
24:28I can't shoot today.
24:31It's a big deal.
24:32Is it a big deal?
24:34The back of this Kabutomon is the residence of the Urasen family, which has 16 generations.
24:41There is a tea room called Konnichi-an that is not publicized there.
24:47It seems that only those who are allowed to enter this gate are allowed to enter the house.
24:52Mr. Lanty can enter the house.
24:56Only a limited number of people can enter the house.
25:00This is the Urasen family school.
25:05Is this a school?
25:07That's right.
25:08There are three floors.
25:10The first floor is the tea room.
25:15The second floor is a meeting room.
25:20I studied tea here every day for more than three years.
25:25This is the Urasen family school.
25:30Is there a tea shop here?
25:32That's right.
25:35May I come in?
25:36Please come in.
25:39This is the office.
25:43I can't shoot today, but there is a tea room inside.
25:49There are various ways to make tea.
25:53There is a room here.
25:56Is this room for students?
25:58That's right.
26:00The Urasen family school was established in 1962 to train the teachers of tea.
26:07The basic course is a three-year course, and classes are held from 9 a.m. on weekdays to 5 p.m.
26:13That's right.
26:15In addition to the basic course, there are classes on the history of tea leaves, the construction of tea rooms, the practice of making tea leaves, and the practice of cooking tea.
26:30You can learn all the basics of tea leaves, which is said to be the art of tea leaves.
26:38In 1973, Randy started a course called Midorikai, a course for foreigners to learn English for the purpose of spreading tea leaves around the world.
26:54I didn't know there was such a special school.
26:58That's right.
26:59Can anyone enter this school?
27:02Even beginners can take the basic course.
27:06Only experienced people can take the Midorikai course.
27:10Foreigners?
27:11That's right.
27:12The Midorikai course is free for all students.
27:18What did you do for living at that time?
27:21I went back to Matsumoto on Friday night to learn English.
27:29After the Midorikai course on Sunday night, I went back to Kyoto.
27:33Why didn't you find it in Kyoto?
27:36That's true.
27:38Do you get a certificate when you graduate?
27:42I was allowed to teach in the first year of Urasenke.
27:49I graduated in 1996 and started teaching in 1996.
27:55Randy graduated from Urasenke and got the name Soei three years later.
28:03Is it an honor to be named?
28:06That's right.
28:07Urasenke's name is different for each person.
28:12But if you are determined, you can be recognized by the teacher who taught you after seven years of training.
28:21When I got the name Soei, I felt like I was a real tea-drinking star.
28:30In 2011, Randy got the certificate of Urasenke teacher, which is even more difficult than getting the name Soei.
28:40Teachers need many years of experience and training.
28:45Only a certified teacher can give the certificate.
28:50Do you feel like you are a real tea-drinking star?
28:54To be honest, I still have a lot to learn.
29:00What do you want to know?
29:03As you know, my Japanese is not very good.
29:08Your Japanese is better than mine.
29:10Nothing comes out.
29:12Please give me a cup of tea.
29:14That's true.
29:20Randy, did you change your clothes?
29:23Yes, I did.
29:25Are you wearing a kimono?
29:27No, I'm not.
29:29I usually wear a kimono, but this is more casual.
29:34Isn't it cold?
29:35No, it's not.
29:36Do you wear short sleeves in winter?
29:38Yes, I do.
29:39It's 8 degrees.
29:40I'm sorry.
29:41It's okay.
29:42Old and new are interesting.
29:46Interesting?
29:47Yes.
29:48If you say Starbucks, it's new.
29:53But look behind you.
29:58Old and new are interesting.
30:02Interesting?
30:03Yes.
30:04If you say Starbucks, it's new.
30:08New?
30:09Yes, it's in Kyoto.
30:10Do you know?
30:11Look behind you.
30:15It's a hexagon.
30:17Is it a temple?
30:18Yes.
30:19Can you see Starbucks?
30:21Yes, it's interesting.
30:22What's going on?
30:25Standing at the back of Starbucks is the temple of the Tendai Shukei, which is said to have been built by Emperor Shotoku.
30:35When you stand in front of the glass-walled Starbucks, you can see the temple behind you.
30:40Old and new are like a hexagon.
30:44I see.
30:48So which one is new?
30:51New and old.
30:53Everyone knows that.
30:55Did you make it like this on purpose?
30:57If you look behind you, it's like a hexagon.
31:02I see.
31:05Old and new are the same.
31:07That's right.
31:08It's only in Kyoto.
31:11That's right.
31:12How about Starbucks?
31:15I don't drink coffee.
31:18I see.
31:19Do you drink matcha?
31:21I can't drink matcha.
31:25The taste is...
31:27The taste?
31:28It's not good for tea.
31:29It's good, but it's not good for tea.
31:35Next, I'll show you a new place.
31:38In Kyoto?
31:39Yes, here in Kyoto.
31:41This is the place where the Shogun Yatsuhashi Temple was built 300 years ago.
31:48It's a shop with a new image.
31:50It's interesting.
31:51The Yatsuhashi Temple was built here?
31:53That's right.
31:54The Shogun Yatsuhashi Temple, which has a history of more than 330 years,
31:59is a shop of Kyoto's famous raw Yatsuhashi.
32:02It's good, isn't it?
32:03It's good, isn't it?
32:04It's good, isn't it?
32:05What is the new style of the shop that was opened in 2011?
32:12Good morning.
32:13Oh, I see.
32:14That's what's going on right now.
32:16Hello.
32:17Hello.
32:18There are various sweets, but this is probably the most popular one.
32:24It's popular.
32:25It's popular.
32:27Oh, it's cute.
32:28What is this?
32:29It's a raw Yatsuhashi base.
32:31I wanted to eat it.
32:33It's cute.
32:35Yeah.
32:36Shishimai.
32:37Oh, it's cute.
32:38It's especially popular with young women.
32:41I think so.
32:42I didn't expect Randy to introduce such a cute shop.
32:46It's old and new.
32:48It's old and new.
32:49I've always loved raw Yatsuhashi.
32:52I've eaten this before, but I've stopped eating sweets recently.
32:58The staff will try it instead of Randy, who is holding back his excitement.
33:03Oh.
33:05Please enjoy it.
33:08Did you eat it?
33:10Wow.
33:11It's all red.
33:13Yes.
33:14All of it.
33:15Kagami-mochi?
33:16Kagami-mochi.
33:17Oh.
33:19It's nice.
33:20Oh.
33:21Is it filled with syrup?
33:23The subtle sweetness of raw Yatsuhashi is very delicious.
33:28I want to eat it.
33:30I think Kyoto is not only old, but also new.
33:36But this place is special, so there is a connection between the old and the modern.
33:43The connection is important.
33:45I see.
33:46They are trying new things.
33:48This is a place of old.
33:50This is old Kyoto.
33:51This is it.
33:54I can't cut it with a sword.
33:56What is the historical string that continues for 15 generations?
34:01Really?
34:06This is it.
34:08This is Sanada string.
34:10Sanada?
34:11That's right.
34:12Sanada string is like this.
34:17Is it string?
34:18That's right.
34:19It's the string that closes the tea box in the world of tea.
34:23It's just a string.
34:24That's right.
34:25It's rare, isn't it?
34:26Excuse me.
34:27Oh, it's called Sanada string.
34:29It's not just a string, is it?
34:31We also receive baked goods.
34:33Oh.
34:34This is it, right?
34:40He is a craftsman of the 15th generation.
34:42He is a craftsman.
34:43Excuse me.
34:44How long have you been doing this?
34:46Since the Sengoku period.
34:47Since the Sengoku period?
34:49It was founded at the end of the Sengoku period, in the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
34:54Wow.
34:56The shop is run by Isao Wada, a craftsman specializing in Sanada string, the 15th generation.
35:03What is Sanada string in the first place?
35:07Sanada string is used in the shape of a katana.
35:11That's right.
35:12The number of vertical strings is more than double that of a normal string.
35:15It compresses the strings.
35:17That's why it's very strong.
35:19You can receive a katana with this.
35:21That's how strong it is.
35:22Does that mean it's strong?
35:23That's right.
35:24Really?
35:25Let's try it.
35:26Let's try it.
35:27Lightly.
35:28Oh, I see.
35:30You receive it like this.
35:32You turn it like this until the opponent pulls it.
35:36Then you can't pull the katana anymore.
35:38If you can't pull the katana, you can use Sanada string.
35:41Is it that strong?
35:42Yes.
35:43You can't use the katana anymore, so you can hold it down with your neck.
35:46You can't cut it?
35:47You can't cut it.
35:49That's how strong it is.
35:50I see.
35:51If you turn it around your neck and hit it, you'll break your neck bone.
35:54I see.
35:55You're saying scary things.
35:57That's right.
35:58You're smiling.
36:00Sanada string is a very durable string made from cotton or silk.
36:06My wife is 15 years old.
36:08There is a theory that the string used by the Sanada family in the Sengoku period is the origin of the name.
36:15I see.
36:16And the Sen-no-ri-kyu began to be used as a tool box and spread to the people.
36:22I see.
36:23Now, it's a three-stringed string.
36:28Three-stringed?
36:29Yes.
36:30It's called Omote Senkei, Ura Senkei, and Musho no Koji Senkei.
36:34The color changes depending on the style.
36:37The color is different.
36:38Yes, it is.
36:39The Ura Senkei and Omote Senkei are tied in the opposite way.
36:43The way they are tied is different?
36:44Yes, it is.
36:45In each style, the way they are tied is different.
36:48The way they are tied is different.
36:49The way they are tied is different.
36:50Each style of Sado has a unique way of tying the Sanada string like a family crest.
36:57It has been passed down in modern times as a culture called Yakusoku-himo, which proves that it is one's own possession.
37:05It's interesting.
37:06Is this one Sanada string?
37:08Yes, it is.
37:09You only make Sanada string.
37:10Yes, I only make Sanada string.
37:12This is quite rare.
37:13Yes, it is.
37:14Yes, it is.
37:16I've never seen this before.
37:20How many stores are there in Japan?
37:21There are about 3 stores.
37:25In Japan?
37:26Yes.
37:273 stores?
37:28Yes, about 3 stores.
37:29Most of them are hand-made.
37:30This is the only store that makes hand-made Sanada string.
37:31This is the only store that makes hand-made Sanada string.
37:33Yes, because there are no children.
37:35I don't know what will happen after this.
37:37Tokugawa-san and Ashikaga-san are the only ones who have 15 children.
37:39That's right.
37:40The history is clear.
37:43This is only in Kyoto.
37:47That's why I think Kyoto is interesting.
37:51Really?
37:54Randy's favorite scenery.
37:58This building is a tea room.
38:00It's called Cho-sho-an.
38:03This is Gen-gen-sai.
38:04This is the work of the 11th generation of the Furusen family.
38:09Originally, this was a special tea room.
38:13But it was moved here.
38:15To be honest, I've never had a cup of tea here.
38:19But I think this is a good tea room.
38:22There are two tea rooms in this building.
38:24This tea room is Sanjo-no-ten.
38:29That's right.
38:31This is Sanjo-no-ten.
38:33It's a very old building.
38:36I think it's good to have history.
38:39I think it's interesting to have the taste of the wall.
39:07This is a place where you can feel the history of Kyoto.
39:11This is a place where you can feel the history of Kyoto.

40:05This is a place where you can feel the history of Kyoto.
40:10Ran-Ri-san gave us his favorite kanji.
40:16What is Ran-Ri-san's favorite kanji?
40:19I don't know much about kanji, but this is Enso.
40:22Enso?
40:23It means Mu.
40:25Mu.
40:26It's a very important symbol in Zen.
40:29In Kyoto, tea is a very important symbol.
40:35I've heard a lot about tea.
40:40I wonder how old people can start drinking tea.
40:43You can drink tea no matter how old you are.
40:45I think it's better to start drinking tea when you're older.
40:48I think so, too.
40:50It's good for your mental health.
40:52Ran-Ri-san, who has lived in Japan for 40 years,
40:56what do you think of Japan now compared to when you first came to Japan?
41:02In today's world,
41:04if you have SNS,
41:06if you want to know something right away,
41:08if you can do something right away,
41:10various Japanese cultures will gradually...
41:13There are fewer people who do it.
41:16It's a bit of a shame.
41:18I see.
41:19Let me ask you again.
41:21What is the reason Ran-Ri-san lives in Japan?
41:24I think Japanese culture is a world treasure.
41:28I want to introduce that treasure to Japanese people again.
41:33I live in Kyoto, so I want to introduce it to Japanese people.
41:37To be honest, I want to sow seeds of interest.
41:41I see.
41:42By the way, Ran-Ri-san,
41:44what is the dance of Bunbu now?
41:47Shall we do it?
41:48Shall we do it?
41:49Here?
41:50Shall we mix it here?
41:51Shall we do it?
41:54Bunbu
41:58A friend of an American who runs an antiques shop in Kyoto.
42:03Bunbu
42:21I worked all the way through Shogatsu.
42:23Shogatsu
42:24My system is always I finish the year on the 30th and 31st,
42:28and then on Kantan I'm in Arashiyama.
42:30I think we've been talking the same story since we met 30 years ago.
42:34Do you have anything interesting now?
42:36No, it's pretty rare.
42:37I have a water bottle of Uba-ga-mochi-yaki.
42:41It's called Omi-hachimaka, right?
42:42Omi-hachimaka
42:43The owner of the ryokan is a famous ceramicist.
42:48It's almost not a work.
42:50It's like Ori-san's Chawan.
42:52I'm quite addicted to Kintsugi.
42:55Do you play Budo?
42:56No, I don't.
42:58Do you play Budo?
43:00Not at all.
43:01Not at all?
43:02In my heart, I'm a Budo player.
43:05I can't do anything.
43:06Then, can you cheer for Japanese sports players?
43:09No, I can't.
43:10No, you can't.
43:11And...
43:12What about when your son was a baseball player?
43:15When my son was a baseball player.
43:17More than that, I'm more into sumo.
43:19I haven't seen him since Chiyono Fuji quit.
43:23I haven't seen him since Chiyono Fuji quit.
43:25You haven't seen him?
43:27Not at all.
43:28Not at all?
43:29Not at all.
43:30You like taking a bath, don't you?
43:32Yes.
43:34A French woman who loves Japanese traditional baths.
43:37Nice, nice.
43:39When I visited her for the first time in 9 years...
43:41I've been to Junkisa other than traditional baths.
43:44Junkisa is like a traditional bath.
43:48It feels like I'm at home.
43:50When I visit Junkisa, I feel like I'm at home again.
43:54I think it's the best to visit Sento and Junkisa.
