Love all your videos, just wish you did more videos and more frequently. I would love to see you build a workbench.

Superb chisel, beautifully designed and made with respect to carpenters and makers.

Ceremony! If, just if everything we did we had this atitude, we would be in total attention with our acts! 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing

I buy a japanese built house over any other in the world

One of my favorite stores ( though only online) and I’ve bought many tools from Kurashige.

I found it surprising that given your woodworking skills as witnessed by your joinery, that you didn’t do the hand planing, butterfly keys, c channel installation etc yourself. But then it occurred to me that real estate and shop space is at a high premium in urban Japan, yes? I say this as I built custom houses including many timber frames for 18 years before gradually moving into custom furniture, which I continue with over 30 years later. As the joy is in the wood. And timber frames are for young men who haven’t had several joint replacements, so moving into furniture is a natural transition with age.

Great video! And if I can find this store online, I will be a very, very broke woodworker!😂

Beyond amazing. Thank you so much for posting this.

Ich will eine Einkaufstour, ohne Zoll. 😆😆😆

Fascinating. It’s such a thrill for me to see for the first time how all of the edge tools that I have loved and used for so many years are made. The simple, deep integrity of Japanese craftsmanship is what makes their tools so very special.

This is so very cool. I’ve been using Japanese chisels, saws and kanna in woodworking and carpentry for 45 years. They are on a level entirely to themselves. How fortunate you are to be there and be exposed to all the master craftsmen.

Do you think they are open on Sundays?

This channel is such a gift, thank you!

Love the vids

I absolutely love Japanese carpentry!

In May of 2024 I was in Tokyo and was determined to visit a retail outlet and update my collection of chisels. Of the stores in the Tokyo metro area I selected to visit Kurashige Tools, located at an outer edge of greater Tokyo. Please allow me to note that I was absolutely astounded by the supply of chisels and other hand tools for woodworking. The store owners did not speak English, but where a nice as could be, and they understood that I could sort through their section of wood chisels and find what I sought. The chisels that I departed with are from the masters, and works of art. Last night I showed my chisel collection to a Japanese friend, and she was amazed with what I have bought and brought back stateside. Should we go with mail order or pay a visit?I stand by showing up in person and carefully selecting the tools needed. Getting to this store is not so easy, so please allow me to describe my preferred route. On the metro, heading west out of the major stations of "Tokyo" and "Shinjuku," take the Chūō Line to Hachiōji. A rapid train with few stops makes this run to Hachiōji. Then change lines and take the metro south to Hashimoto. Then change tracks and continue in the same direction just one station south on the "local" to "Minima-Hashimoto. Depart the metro and then turn right and head east. Down at the bottom of the stairs one can find a police box. Put one's back to the police box and walk straight ahead, due east away from the police box and down a suburban residential street for a few blocks. Turn left at the street with a Japanese 7-11 store. Then walk north for about five short blocks (about 6 minutes) until reaching an intersecting a large street busy with traffic. This seems to be the only major street running east to west. One way to identify the street is to note the at least three car dealerships. So, turn right on this busy street (stay on the sidewalk to the right side of the street) and head due east. One needs to walk down this busy street for a seemingly long distance that can take ten full minutes. In the distance, a bridge spanning north-south crosses the street, and the bridge can be identified from a distance and is colored green, with a shade close to oxidized copper. The tool store is located at the south end of this cross bridge. It's easy to spot. Right before the store, there stands an auto company selling Mini Coopers. The address is 5-Chome-1 Seishin, Chuo Ward, Sagamihara, Kanagawa Tel. seems to be 042-703-3320. The store is closed on Mondays, for sure. The people running the store were as lovely as lovely could be and so appreciative of my visit. The numbers of tools boggled my mind, and upstairs there is a collection of historic tools that create a semblance of a tool museum. ō ū. Ū Ō

Hello.I am from Russia, and specifically from Siberia.I watch your channel on UA-cam.I would like to offer you a business partnership.I am waiting for your feedback to discuss this proposal.

Excellent video showing wonderful skills. Thanks for making the video and for taking the time to upload.

haha put that against american framing.. 🤣

I am bunnies

This kind of passion is so rare these days. Too much emphasis on turnover and profit margin, not enough effort on making things that are unique and stand out as beautiful in their own right. Planned housing developments here in the US are a great(horrifying) example of standardization and loss of quality favor of turnover and return on investment.

I just bought one of thier Kanabans 10 minutes ago from Kurashige!! Amazing video. Tell them thanks! :) Also I had to wait almost 2 years for a restock on their 340*90*24.5mm size lol. It would be great if they produced more ;)

Wow so expensive

what's the address at Japan

Love the work, is there any way to get a good quality masakari and chouna online ?

It is heartwarming to see a wonderful craft being passed down and drilled rigorously to ensure no knowledge is lost.

I love seeing all that wood come together so cleanly. It's so wholesome and almost healing to watch.

Can u compare them to made in china ? 😂😂😂

Which store was this? I’ve got to two, including one in Chiba and it wasn’t this one.

What is that thin sheet of wood used for?

Anyone with bad BO can make this a bio-weapon.

Compliment for tutorial video 👍👍

1114.23 dollars for a set of chisels? Or has the exchange rate changed that much?

Wonderful video of almost obsolete craftsmanship!

I saw your earlier video and you had a Hawaiian shirt on, so you are becoming bilingual? Wonderful stuff you are sharing, I have a fairly comprehensive share of western planes and chisels, but have learned the oriental origins and its fascinating. Great work!

Thank you 🙂

Gloves + powertools = 😱😱😱😱

I wish I could share a laugh with the old man because Bro was struggling without clamps. That old timer had to step in and show em how it was done. Soon as I got into wood working I didn’t know how much all these guys relied on clamps. I never clamped or vised anything for 15 years as an electrician and never used power tools. First off it makes your back strong… hence the phrase” put some back into it” really your whole body and second I could feel what the old timer was feeling while our young friend here was looking like a toddler trying to open juice box! As a young man of 37 I gotta message to put out there and that’s “put some back into it”😊

Thanks so much for these videos of your visits to the blacksmiths. I appreciate the amount of detail, your intelligent questions, and the video quality. I also very much like that in this and your other videos you focus on your subjects and their craft rather than yourselves. One of the things I loved from the videos of the three smiths is that you revealed their different personalities and approaches to their craft. They all seemed like folks I'd like to know.
