00:00:00Teleto!
00:00:30Wow!
00:00:36Wow!
00:00:38Oh my gosh!
00:01:00That's the secret of the perfect work.
00:01:05Magewappa of Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten,
00:01:08which is made by the craftsman for each step.
00:01:13About three types per month.
00:01:16A total of 600 pieces of work.
00:01:24Nice to meet you.
00:01:26Nice to meet you, too. I'm Shibata.
00:01:30She's my wife.
00:01:33I'm Brendan.
00:01:36Nice to meet you.
00:01:38Nice to meet you, too.
00:01:43What kind of work do you do?
00:01:45I'm not a craftsman.
00:01:47I'm a salesperson,
00:01:49I deliver products,
00:01:51and I work in a gym.
00:01:54It's a very important job.
00:01:56Because of that support,
00:01:58Mr. Masa can concentrate on his work.
00:02:01I'm the president of Kage.
00:02:04She's the boss.
00:02:06Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:08She's in charge of the money.
00:02:10He greets the craftsmen, too.
00:02:16I'm Brendan.
00:02:18Nice to meet you.
00:02:20Nice to meet you, too.
00:02:26There are 11 craftsmen.
00:02:30Nice to meet you.
00:02:32Nice to meet you.
00:02:34Great. Thank you for having me.
00:02:37Who's the youngest?
00:02:39Your youngest worker.
00:02:41She's Izumi.
00:02:43Nice to meet you.
00:02:45Very good.
00:02:47You make me very comfortable.
00:02:49Very good. How old are you?
00:02:51I'm 18 years old.
00:02:53Wow.
00:02:5519.
00:02:57Wow, that's very impressive.
00:02:59How long have you been working here?
00:03:06One year.
00:03:08One year.
00:03:14And how did you hear about it,
00:03:16about Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten?
00:03:19Why did you come here?
00:03:24Oh, that's good.
00:03:26Yeah, it's good.
00:03:28I was introduced to Magiwappa in high school
00:03:32and got a job.
00:03:34Ah, very good, very good.
00:03:37I'm very impressed.
00:03:39I wish I could do the same.
00:03:41What's your favorite part of the Magiwappa?
00:03:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:01Can you read the spellings?
00:04:03Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:05The smell.
00:04:07The smell of wasabi.
00:04:09The factory smells good, doesn't it?
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13There are a total of eight steps
00:04:16in the process of making Magiwappa.
00:04:21In each step,
00:04:23you will learn how to make Magiwappa
00:04:26with both good and bad ingredients.
00:04:29Wow.
00:04:34Let's take a look at the production site.
00:04:38This is the liquid.
00:04:40Wow.
00:04:41The most difficult part of making Magiwappa
00:04:44is the peeling.
00:04:46The peeling.
00:04:48Peeling means
00:04:50when you bend the board,
00:04:52you have to make sure
00:04:54that the edges overlap.
00:04:58If you do it right,
00:05:00it will turn into a perfect circle.
00:05:02If you don't do it right,
00:05:04the shape will be distorted.
00:05:06It's the most difficult part
00:05:08of making Magiwappa.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11That's right.
00:05:13In the U.S.,
00:05:15how did Mr. Glendan do it?
00:05:20My method is simple.
00:05:24I used a machine
00:05:26to file the board
00:05:28to make it thinner.
00:05:33It's very thin.
00:05:36This is the most difficult part.
00:05:39It requires a lot of experience.
00:05:44What will he use?
00:05:50A planer.
00:05:53It's a manual process.
00:05:56Can I take a look?
00:06:06How thin should I make it?
00:06:09The left versus the right.
00:06:12It doesn't matter how thin it is.
00:06:14It's a matter of feeling.
00:06:16It's a matter of feeling.
00:06:18That's why you need experience.
00:06:22The point is
00:06:24to file both sides
00:06:26so that when you bend it,
00:06:28the overlapping parts
00:06:30have the same thickness.
00:06:32However,
00:06:34at this point,
00:06:36you can't bend it.
00:06:39He has the same experience
00:06:41as a craftsman
00:06:43and has the same thickness.
00:06:45What would happen if I bent it?
00:06:48I can't remember the rhythm.
00:06:51Rhythm.
00:06:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:55This is important.
00:06:57Do you want to try it?
00:06:59Let's try it.
00:07:00I really want to try it,
00:07:02but I can only use a planer.
00:07:05What Mr. Brendan is using
00:07:07is the opposite of Japanese planes.
00:07:09It's a type of plane
00:07:11that is used by pushing.
00:07:13Originally,
00:07:15the planes transmitted from the mainland
00:07:17evolved independently in Japan.
00:07:21On the other hand,
00:07:23the Western-style planes
00:07:25are used by pushing.
00:07:29In Japan,
00:07:31it is improved by pulling.
00:07:33This way,
00:07:35you can shave with about half the power.
00:07:40This is my plane.
00:07:45Like this?
00:07:47Yeah, for pushing.
00:07:50I want to use a Japanese plane.
00:07:52That's a good idea.
00:07:55His first attempt
00:07:57at a Japanese plane.
00:08:04What?
00:08:11The angle is a little sudden,
00:08:13so this side is extremely thin.
00:08:15I want to lower the angle a little more.
00:08:22Then...
00:08:29He shaved the table.
00:08:31He shaved the table.
00:08:33That's true.
00:08:35I have no choice but to make you remember.
00:08:39If you remember
00:08:41how much the angle is,
00:08:43you will be able to do it.
00:08:45I want to practice a lot.
00:08:47I'm already practicing a lot.
00:08:49Next,
00:08:51the process of bending the board.
00:08:55Mr. Brendan
00:08:57warms the board
00:08:59with hot water.
00:09:01He uses a water pipe tube
00:09:03and a metal frame
00:09:05to fix the board.
00:09:09Originally...
00:09:11But...
00:09:13It looks similar.
00:09:15When he bent the board,
00:09:17he steamed it.
00:09:19But we boil it in hot water.
00:09:21The temperature is important.
00:09:2380 degrees
00:09:25is the easiest to bend.
00:09:27That's good information.
00:09:29From now on,
00:09:31I will definitely
00:09:33boil the board.
00:09:35Soak the board
00:09:37in water overnight.
00:09:39Before bending,
00:09:41boil it at 80 degrees
00:09:43for 4 hours.
00:09:45Boil it for a long time.
00:09:47And
00:09:49while it's hot,
00:09:51push the round mold
00:09:53and bend it.
00:09:55With bare hands.
00:09:59We call this
00:10:01a hollow.
00:10:03OK.
00:10:05After hitting the hollow,
00:10:07squeeze it.
00:10:09It's amazing.
00:10:11It's so soft.
00:10:15Squeeze it tightly.
00:10:17Right away,
00:10:19fix it with a pair of scissors.
00:10:25It was fixed in no time.
00:10:31Is it better to bend it early?
00:10:33It's better to bend it early.
00:10:35But it's better to bend it
00:10:37before it cools down.
00:10:39Once you get used to bending,
00:10:41it's hard to fix
00:10:43the shape.
00:10:47The point is
00:10:49how to use the pair of scissors.
00:10:51I see.
00:10:53In this case,
00:10:55even if the material is thick,
00:10:57there is a big gap,
00:10:59so you can hold it with this.
00:11:01If it's thin,
00:11:03you can hold it
00:11:05with a thin one.
00:11:07I see.
00:11:09Adjust the force
00:11:11by shifting the pair of scissors
00:11:13depending on the thickness of the board.
00:11:15It doesn't change.
00:11:17Mr. Brendan
00:11:19was quite confused.
00:11:25The pair of scissors
00:11:27can be used quickly.
00:11:29I see.
00:11:31Because it's a pair of scissors.
00:11:33In addition,
00:11:35the metal frame
00:11:37may leave a mark
00:11:39on the part
00:11:41because the force
00:11:43is concentrated in one place.
00:11:45The pair of scissors
00:11:47can hold the metal frame
00:11:49with uniform force,
00:11:51so it looks beautiful.
00:11:53You're smart.
00:11:57However,
00:11:59there are some points to be aware of.
00:12:01If the material
00:12:03is thick,
00:12:05but you squeeze it tightly,
00:12:07it will be damaged.
00:12:09I see.
00:12:11So you have to adjust
00:12:13the width appropriately.
00:12:15It changes
00:12:17depending on the movement.
00:12:19It's simple,
00:12:21but it's a very smart tool.
00:12:23Yes.
00:12:25I've been using the same tool
00:12:27for over 100 years.
00:12:29Really? I'm surprised.
00:12:31The key to the finish
00:12:33is the subtle power of speed
00:12:35and the pair of scissors.
00:12:37Let's experience it.
00:12:39Good luck.
00:12:41I made a mistake.
00:12:43I made a mistake.
00:12:45Even if I do it,
00:12:47it will break.
00:12:49Don't worry.
00:12:51Thank you for your concern.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:59It's very soft.
00:13:01Put your weight on it.
00:13:05Bend the board round.
00:13:13Quickly,
00:13:15use the pair of scissors.
00:13:23As expected,
00:13:25it's difficult to handle.
00:13:27It's difficult.
00:13:29The finger motion is hard.
00:13:33Finally,
00:13:35he's doing it.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:39Too late.
00:13:41Put your weight on it.
00:13:43This way,
00:13:45you can wrap it well.
00:13:47Oh, no.
00:13:49You're in a good shape,
00:13:51so you should use your weight.
00:13:53Oh, yes.
00:13:55I'll do it.
00:13:57After this,
00:13:59he fixed it
00:14:01and let it dry for a few days.
00:14:03It's beautiful.
00:14:07He applied the adhesive
00:14:09to the board.
00:14:15He put the lid
00:14:17and the board.
00:14:23He used a saw
00:14:25to polish it
00:14:27and finish it.
00:14:31Next,
00:14:33he closed the cover.
00:14:35Which part?
00:14:37The overlapping part
00:14:39of the bamboo.
00:14:43He sewed the leather
00:14:45of Yamazakura.
00:14:47Oh, I see.
00:14:51He didn't know
00:14:53how to close the cover
00:14:55no matter how many times he watched
00:14:57videos on the Internet.
00:14:59Yamazakura is hard to get
00:15:01in the U.S.,
00:15:03so he had to
00:15:05go to the mountains.
00:15:07It's the most difficult
00:15:09part of the process
00:15:11of making Magewappa.
00:15:13You went to the mountains
00:15:15to see it.
00:15:17I go to the mountains
00:15:19to get Yamazakura.
00:15:21Really?
00:15:23Oh, my gosh.
00:15:25Wow.
00:15:27Do you go to the mountains
00:15:29once a year?
00:15:31Once a year.
00:15:33From August
00:15:35to September.
00:15:37Once a year,
00:15:39Mr. Yoshimasa
00:15:41went to the mountains
00:15:43to get Yamazakura
00:15:45from the trees.
00:15:49After a year of drying,
00:15:51he shaved the surface
00:15:53and made it thinner.
00:15:55It's a lot of work.
00:15:58Wow, yeah.
00:16:00So beautiful.
00:16:02Wow.
00:16:24Oh.
00:16:26Wow.
00:16:33Wow.
00:16:53Oh.
00:17:03Wow.
00:17:27Wow.
00:17:33Wow.
00:17:45Wow.
00:17:53Wow.
00:18:02Yes.
00:18:04There are various wishes
00:18:06on the pattern.
00:18:08What does it mean?
00:18:10This pattern,
00:18:12which is an image of
00:18:14the scales of fish,
00:18:16contains the meaning
00:18:18of the role.
00:18:22After the work,
00:18:24Mr. Yoshimasa
00:18:26invited me.
00:18:28Wow.
00:18:30Wow.
00:18:33Thank you so much.
00:18:35Thank you very much.
00:18:41I'm Brandon.
00:18:44Nice to meet you.
00:18:46Nice to meet you.
00:18:48Nice to meet you.
00:18:54You're very kind.
00:18:57To eat the local food,
00:18:59the people of Odate
00:19:01held a welcome party.
00:19:03Wow, amazing.
00:19:05First,
00:19:07I'd like to show you
00:19:09the stone statue
00:19:11that represents Odate.
00:19:13Wow.
00:19:14It's nice.
00:19:18This is for you.
00:19:22Wow, perfect.
00:19:24I'm so happy.
00:19:28Cheers.
00:19:30Cheers.
00:19:36It's delicious.
00:19:38Thank you very much.
00:19:41The people who waved their hands
00:19:43are the mothers
00:19:45who know the local taste
00:19:47of Odate's food.
00:19:49The first dish is...
00:19:51Wow, it looks delicious.
00:19:53When we serve our guests,
00:19:55they say,
00:19:57thank you for coming.
00:19:59First,
00:20:01they sit down
00:20:03and have this grilled fish
00:20:05as a snack.
00:20:07Wow.
00:20:09It smells so good.
00:20:12This is the stone statue
00:20:14that was taken from
00:20:16Hinaijidori,
00:20:18a local fishing village.
00:20:20Oh, Hinaijidori.
00:20:22It's nice.
00:20:23Seasonal vegetables and wild vegetables
00:20:25are cooked together.
00:20:27This is a local dish
00:20:29called kayaki.
00:20:31Wow, it looks delicious.
00:20:39It's very good.
00:20:40It's delicious.
00:20:41It's nice.
00:20:44What is this?
00:20:46It's called kinkan.
00:20:48It's the yolk of an egg.
00:20:50The egg is still
00:20:52in the stomach.
00:20:54Oh.
00:21:00In Odate,
00:21:02when we say,
00:21:04is it delicious?
00:21:06We say, mega.
00:21:08Mega?
00:21:10It's delicious.
00:21:12When we say,
00:21:14is it delicious?
00:21:16We say, mega.
00:21:18Mega.
00:21:20Mega.
00:21:23What is this food?
00:21:25What is this?
00:21:27Boil a piece of warabi
00:21:29and eat it.
00:21:31It's called
00:21:33warabi saoni.
00:21:35Oh, warabi.
00:21:37How do you eat it?
00:21:40It's long.
00:21:42It's amazing.
00:21:44Warabi saoni is like this.
00:21:47You eat it like that.
00:21:49One more time.
00:21:51Go ahead.
00:22:00It's fun.
00:22:03Shime used
00:22:05Akita komachi,
00:22:08It's nice.
00:22:10the famous
00:22:12kiritanpo hot pot.
00:22:14It's nice.
00:22:22It has a special taste.
00:22:24It's really special.
00:22:26That's cool.
00:22:32After that...
00:22:34I want to drink it.
00:22:37What is it?
00:22:39Nodetansei.
00:22:41Nodetansei?
00:22:43Nodetansei.
00:22:45Shibata-san.
00:22:47Nodetansei?
00:22:50If it's Nodetansei,
00:22:52you have to drink it all.
00:22:54It's an Akita rule.
00:22:56Nodetansei.
00:23:00It looks fun.
00:23:02Very good.
00:23:04The next day,
00:23:06he showed me
00:23:08the most important thing
00:23:10in making Magewappa.
00:23:12He came to
00:23:14Watanabe Seizai,
00:23:16which is in Noshiroshi.
00:23:20Look at this.
00:23:24Material of Magewappa
00:23:26is very important.
00:23:28We use natural water.
00:23:30They mainly use
00:23:32Tohoku's natural water.
00:23:38Why do you use natural water?
00:23:40Of course,
00:23:42we also use plant-based water.
00:23:44However,
00:23:46plant-based water
00:23:48has fine grains
00:23:50and grows slowly,
00:23:52so it's an excellent material.
00:23:56Plant-based water
00:23:58grows faster
00:24:00compared to
00:24:02plant-based water.
00:24:04On the other hand,
00:24:06plant-based water
00:24:08grows slowly
00:24:10compared to
00:24:12plant-based water.
00:24:14Tohoku region
00:24:16has low temperature
00:24:18and slow growth of cedar.
00:24:20Therefore,
00:24:22plant-based water
00:24:24is more beautiful.
00:24:26The line is winter.
00:24:28The line grows in summer.
00:24:30The line is very hard,
00:24:32so it keeps
00:24:34the strength of Magewappa.
00:24:36In summer,
00:24:38the line is soft,
00:24:40so it absorbs
00:24:42the excess water of rice
00:24:44and makes it delicious.
00:24:48Today,
00:24:50the material I bought
00:24:52is here.
00:24:54How do you
00:24:56make the best material
00:24:58for Magewappa?
00:25:00I came here to test it.
00:25:02I didn't know that.
00:25:04Nice.
00:25:06So you get to see every cut.
00:25:08Actually,
00:25:10only the good part of cedar
00:25:12is not used for Magewappa.
00:25:14This is also Mard.
00:25:16This white part
00:25:18is not used
00:25:20because it is easy to rot.
00:25:22This is the core of the tree.
00:25:24There is a branch here,
00:25:26so I don't use this part.
00:25:30I use this box.
00:25:34The red part,
00:25:36which can be used
00:25:38as a material,
00:25:40is about 40%.
00:25:44Today's material is here.
00:25:48Let's go.
00:25:50Beautiful.
00:25:52This is the material I bought.
00:25:58It's a beautiful log.
00:26:00It's a premium log.
00:26:06How many Magewappa
00:26:08can you make with this log?
00:26:10When I buy materials,
00:26:12my father always tells me
00:26:14how many Magewappa
00:26:16I can make
00:26:18with this log.
00:26:20However,
00:26:22when I actually make it,
00:26:24the colour is not good,
00:26:26and unexpected things
00:26:28happen.
00:26:30So I don't know until I make it.
00:26:34It's like a present box.
00:26:36That's right.
00:26:38How much did you pay for it?
00:26:40This?
00:26:42I haven't asked
00:26:44the price yet.
00:26:46Oh, I see.
00:26:50It's important to buy good materials,
00:26:52so you don't care about the price, do you?
00:26:54Well, it depends on my skill.
00:26:56I want to make
00:26:58a better material
00:27:00for my customers.
00:27:02If I make such a thing,
00:27:04it's okay.
00:27:06I will make it.
00:27:10By the way,
00:27:12the number of rooms
00:27:14you can use
00:27:16is about 20.
00:27:18The real value
00:27:20of the log
00:27:22that you can't know
00:27:24until you make it.
00:27:26In the worst case,
00:27:28it's not even half
00:27:30of the profit.
00:27:34Next,
00:27:36he goes to a huge altar.
00:27:44What is it?
00:27:56Wow.
00:27:58It's beautiful.
00:28:04It's beautiful.
00:28:06Really nice.
00:28:08Beautiful.
00:28:10The beautiful wood
00:28:12of the altar.
00:28:16It's beautiful.
00:28:18You won the bet.
00:28:20I feel relieved.
00:28:24The colour is good.
00:28:26The wood goes all the way to the top.
00:28:28This material is
00:28:30good.
00:28:32Why do you want it to be straight?
00:28:36If it's straight,
00:28:38when it's bent and made,
00:28:40it becomes a circle.
00:28:42If the wood is twisted,
00:28:44it becomes a distorted shape
00:28:46instead of a round circle.
00:28:50If it's straight,
00:28:52when it's bent,
00:28:54the wood meets.
00:28:56If it's twisted,
00:28:58it becomes like this.
00:29:00If it's bent,
00:29:02you can take the bottom board
00:29:04from here to here.
00:29:06The finished wood
00:29:08goes into the truck.
00:29:14I'm saved.
00:29:16Brendan
00:29:18helps him out.
00:29:22All right.
00:29:24Let's go to the altar.
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:28A little to New York, too.
00:29:32It's a long drive.
00:29:34It's a long drive.
00:29:36It's a long drive.
00:29:40He returns to the altar.
00:29:44He is mixed with the craftsmen.
00:29:48I'm practicing.
00:29:50He is alone
00:29:52in the corner of the workshop.
00:29:54Brendan is taking a break.
00:30:00He doesn't want to waste
00:30:02any of the wood.
00:30:04He is practicing
00:30:06to get the wood.
00:30:08He might have cut too much.
00:30:16Mr. Masa,
00:30:18please check it.
00:30:20Smooth?
00:30:22Yes, it's smooth.
00:30:24How about this side?
00:30:26It should be like this.
00:30:28A little longer.
00:30:30A little longer.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:36I have a goal.
00:30:38Let's shoot for it.
00:30:40He has a goal.
00:30:44Mr. Masa
00:30:46has a suggestion.
00:30:50Mr. Masa,
00:30:52I've learned a lot.
00:30:54Why don't we start from the beginning?
00:30:58He is impressed
00:31:00by Mr. Masa's enthusiasm.
00:31:04While he is in Japan,
00:31:06he wants to make
00:31:08a throwing rope from scratch.
00:31:12The material he uses
00:31:14is also special.
00:31:20I use that material.
00:31:22It's a little black material.
00:31:24I see.
00:31:26What's the difference
00:31:28from other woods?
00:31:32That is
00:31:34my father's
00:31:36natural Akita cedar.
00:31:38It's a natural Akita cedar
00:31:40that was cut down.
00:31:42It was cut down
00:31:44and I couldn't buy it.
00:31:46It's the best material.
00:31:48I see.
00:31:50Akita natural cedar
00:31:52has a narrow
00:31:54and beautiful age range.
00:32:00It is one of the three
00:32:02beautiful forests in Japan,
00:32:04along with Aomori's
00:32:06Aomori Hiba
00:32:08and Nagano's
00:32:10Kiso Hinoki.
00:32:12Akita natural cedar
00:32:14has been cut down
00:32:16since 2005
00:32:18and is now
00:32:20not available
00:32:22in the market,
00:32:24so it is very valuable.
00:32:28If it were to be on the market,
00:32:30it would cost
00:32:32three times more
00:32:34than a normal natural cedar.
00:32:36I see.
00:32:38I bought it before
00:32:40it was cut down
00:32:42and kept it carefully.
00:32:44It's special for Mr. Masa.
00:32:46When I use it,
00:32:48I only use it
00:32:50for special events
00:32:52such as
00:32:54exhibitions.
00:32:56It's so precious.
00:32:58Really?
00:33:00Me?
00:33:02No, that's too kind.
00:33:04Thank you very much.
00:33:06It's incredible.
00:33:08To hand me a treasure
00:33:10from your father to you to me
00:33:12is so generous.
00:33:14Thank you so much.
00:33:16Your father will be happy.
00:33:18I have to make a good one.
00:33:20After this,
00:33:22Mr. Murendan
00:33:24challenged himself
00:33:26to make a Magewappa
00:33:28with Akita natural cedar.
00:33:30He spent
00:33:32eight days
00:33:34to make it.
00:33:36Incredible.
00:33:38He's a genius.
00:33:40Mr. Murendan
00:33:42in America
00:33:44loves Magewappa.
00:33:46He decided to make it
00:33:48from scratch
00:33:50by using Akita natural cedar
00:33:52which is not available now.
00:33:54First,
00:33:56he cut the board
00:33:58to a suitable size.
00:34:02When he cut the surface,
00:34:04the beautiful wood grain
00:34:06of Akita natural cedar
00:34:08appeared.
00:34:10This is
00:34:12Akita natural cedar
00:34:14and this is Akita natural cedar.
00:34:16The wood grain is so different.
00:34:18It's true.
00:34:20It's so fine.
00:34:22It's hard to compare.
00:34:24It's so fine.
00:34:26Then,
00:34:28he went to Hagitori
00:34:30where he practiced
00:34:32with a Japanese kanna.
00:34:34I'm nervous.
00:34:36I'm nervous.
00:34:38Everyone, don't sweat.
00:34:40Yeah, yeah.
00:34:42Don't worry.
00:34:44No, no.
00:34:46He's doing his best.
00:34:52He can't waste
00:34:54the precious wood.
00:34:58Good luck.
00:35:00What's wrong?
00:35:02Your leg?
00:35:06Huh?
00:35:08How did I sit?
00:35:10I don't know.
00:35:12I think like this.
00:35:14Yeah, yeah.
00:35:16That's better.
00:35:26It's still hot.
00:35:28It's hot.
00:35:36Okay.
00:35:44That's the best one?
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:48That's perfect.
00:35:50Good.
00:36:00Is that okay?
00:36:06Up.
00:36:30Yeah, thank you.
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:37It's quite strong.
00:36:39Ah, good.
00:37:00Right, right, right, right.
00:37:06Ah, I see.
00:37:16Ah, skew.
00:37:26That I feel better about.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:30Looking better? Okay, good.
00:37:36Okay.
00:37:52Okay.
00:37:58Very good.
00:38:00Very exciting.
00:38:06Eh?
00:38:14Very good.
00:38:16Amazing.
00:38:18He's a genius.
00:38:20The wood is cool.
00:38:36It's been a long time.
00:38:38It's been a long time.
00:38:40It's been a long time.
00:38:42It's been a long time.
00:38:44It's been a long time.
00:38:46It's been a long time.
00:38:48It's been a long time.
00:38:50It's been a long time.
00:38:52It's been a long time.
00:38:54It's been a long time.
00:38:56It's been a long time.
00:38:58It's been a long time.
00:39:00It's been a long time.
00:39:02It's been a long time.
00:39:05It's been a long time.
00:39:07Well done.
00:39:09Thank you so much.
00:39:11The design of this yamazakura was very good.
00:39:13Amazing.
00:39:15Mr. Brendan learned that the design of the Kawatoji
00:39:17had a meaning.
00:39:21In fact, while he was working,
00:39:23he used Mr. Yoshimasa's skew
00:39:25as a reference
00:39:27to design the original design.
00:39:29Wow.
00:39:35The design of this yamazakura was very good.
00:39:38The design is pretty nice.
00:39:40What was the meaning of this design?
00:39:42What did you do with it?
00:39:44He said there was a pattern
00:39:46that had the meaning of a parent and child.
00:39:48In the middle is the daughter, Mathilda.
00:39:51Next to her is my wife.
00:39:54Both sides are my parents.
00:39:57Wow.
00:39:59That's great.
00:40:02The theme is generation.
00:40:04It's very good.
00:40:06The story is very good.
00:40:09I'm glad you liked it.
00:40:12I'm glad you liked it.
00:40:14Thank you so much.
00:40:16Thank you so much.
00:40:18It's amazing.
00:40:20It's very exciting.
00:40:22It's a perfect score.
00:40:24It's a perfect score.
00:40:26It's a perfect score from 70 to 100.
00:40:28I'm glad you helped me.
00:40:30I'm glad you helped me.
00:40:32I'm glad you helped me.
00:40:34After this,
00:40:36After this,
00:40:38Mr. Brendan came back to Japan.
00:40:40In 2 years,
00:40:42he made a surprising progress.
00:40:44There is something special in this shop.
00:40:47There is something special in this shop.
00:40:49It's the first time
00:40:51I made a skew.
00:40:53It's the first time I made a skew.
00:40:55It's the first time I made a skew.
00:40:57He is a skillful skill in the field of nature
00:41:00He is a skillful skill in the field of nature
00:41:03He is a skilful skill in the field of nature
00:41:12Thank you very much.
00:41:16I have a gift for you.
00:41:24Thank you very much.
00:41:27There's two.
00:41:29It's handmade maple syrup.
00:41:30Good, good, good.
00:41:31Maple syrup, right?
00:41:32Yes.
00:41:33And we mix it with...
00:41:34Another special gift.
00:41:35What is it?
00:41:36It's a...
00:41:37This is a canister.
00:41:38A white birch canister with a beautiful hand-carved pattern.
00:41:39Wow.
00:41:41It's a...
00:41:42It's a...
00:41:43It's a...
00:41:44It's a...
00:41:45I was told that it's made by a master.
00:42:00I'll take a picture, but please use it.
00:42:03This pattern is a new design.
00:42:07I'm going to learn it in New York.
00:42:14And then...
00:42:17I want to express my gratitude, so I wrote down my feelings.
00:42:21I'd like to read it for you.
00:42:23But I think they'll help out.
00:42:25Mr. Yoshimasa.
00:42:27Three years ago, when I learned that I might be able to go to Japan,
00:42:32that story was shining like the light shining on the horizon.
00:42:38But I had no idea that it would be the light of hope.
00:42:44In front of me, I can see a long journey of making Magewappa.
00:42:49It was thanks to you that I was able to start this journey.
00:42:56Thanks to your patience, generosity, and kindness,
00:43:03not only did I love making Magewappa, but I also fell in love with the land of Odate.
00:43:10I'd like to thank you, Mr. Yoshimasa, for creating the Shibata Yoshinobu Shop,
00:43:16and to all the craftsmen, from the bottom of my heart.
00:43:24I'm going back to New York with wonderful memories.
00:43:29I want to spread Magewappa to America.
00:43:35I look forward to working with you in the future.
00:43:40Thank you very, very much.
00:43:49Good.
00:43:51I mean it. It's been an honor.
00:43:54Really, really, really.
00:43:56It's been my pleasure.
00:44:14I think the product is my avatar.
00:44:17I'd like you to make a lot of avatars and spread them around.
00:44:28Please wait a moment.
00:44:31Wait a second.
00:44:33Oh, no, no, no.
00:44:35Watch your step.
00:44:37Watch your step.
00:44:40This is Yamazakura.
00:44:44If you polish it, you can practice.
00:44:48Yes, thank you.
00:44:50Oh, no.
00:44:52This is the perfect tool.
00:44:54It's a pair of scissors.
00:44:57I'll practice on the plane right away.
00:45:01Oh, no.
00:45:03Is it okay?
00:45:05I've been using it for a long time.
00:45:08It's very precious.
00:45:11I'll never let it go.
00:45:12I'll never let it go.
00:45:14As soon as he returned to Japan, he started making tools.
00:45:18It's a must-have tool for making magewappa.
00:45:26And...
00:45:29This is the magewappa that I worked hard to make.
00:45:37This is the lid of the magewappa that Mr. Brendan made.
00:45:40This is the lid of the magewappa that Mr. Brendan made.
00:45:42Wow, that's amazing.
00:45:45As a commemoration, he engraved his name on it.
00:45:48Wow, that's cool.
00:45:51Wow.
00:45:54It's beautiful because it's snowing heavily.
00:46:00And what?
00:46:02Am I supposed to say something?
00:46:04Behind you.
00:46:08I'll bring it home.
00:46:10I'll bring it home.
00:46:12Open it.
00:46:14Open it.
00:46:19Wow.
00:46:21Brendan.
00:46:25Very cool.
00:46:27Thank you so much.
00:46:29Thank you so much.
00:46:31Wow.
00:46:33Custom.
00:46:37Thank you so much.
00:46:39Really.
00:46:41You're very, very special.
00:46:43Thank you so much.
00:46:45I'm sorry to go.
00:46:47I don't want to go.
00:46:59I'll be back.
00:47:01I'll be back.
00:47:09Oh, it's cold.
00:47:11It's cold.
00:47:12It's cold.
00:47:20Two years have passed since then.
00:47:24A video letter from Mr. Brendan to Mr. Shibata.
00:47:29Oh, Mr. Shibata.
00:47:32It's been a long time.
00:47:34I'm Brendan.
00:47:35I'm Brendan.
00:47:37Is this for me?
00:47:39Yes, it's for you.
00:47:41It's for you.
00:47:43It's an exhibition.
00:47:45It's an exhibition with a letter.
00:47:47It's a letter.
00:47:49I can talk to him.
00:47:51He said he saw it.
00:47:53He said it was made by Mr. Brendan.
00:47:55In the exhibition, which exhibits memories with Mr. Brendan,
00:48:01A new work of Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten, which reverses the history of Odate Magewappa.
00:48:10It's really cool.
00:48:11Cool.
00:48:25Mr. Brendan, who loves Magewappa.
00:48:30Mr. Takumi, who won the Prime Minister's Award.
00:48:36Mr. Yoshimasa, the second generation of Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten.
00:48:43A new work that reverses the common sense of Odate Magewappa.
00:48:48We launched a new brand, Genpei.
00:48:53Genpei is cool.
00:48:55Genpei was born last year.
00:48:59Magewappa is painted with lacquer.
00:49:03It's really cool.
00:49:06The feature is the materials used.
00:49:09The materials are getting less and less.
00:49:13We aim to make something that can last a long time.
00:49:17Until now, Akata and Shirata were used.
00:49:21Shirata is said to be easy to rot and weak.
00:49:26It's been taught by ancient craftsmen.
00:49:30It was natural not to use it.
00:49:33This is a wet finish.
00:49:35This is a wet finish.
00:49:38Akata and Shirata are mixed.
00:49:42Originally, only the part called Akata can be used for Magewappa.
00:49:49The new work, Genpei, uses Shirata, which was treated as a harmful material because it was easy to rot.
00:49:56In fact, when I asked Akita Prefectural University for research, Shirata was found to have the same durability as Akata.
00:50:09Therefore, Genpei Gassen, which fought by raising Shirahata and Akahata, is the material of the fifth generation.
00:50:18I see.
00:50:20Use the part containing Akata and Shirata called Genpei material to make Magewappa.
00:50:31Shirata is more absorbent than Akata, so it deteriorates faster.
00:50:39The finish is coated with Urushi.
00:50:42I see.
00:50:47However, there is one thing to be concerned about.
00:50:50Magewappa is good at absorbing.
00:50:55If you apply Urushi, it will be lost.
00:50:59The function of absorbing moisture and making rice delicious disappears, but Urushi itself has a sterilization effect.
00:51:06I see.
00:51:08For this series, I didn't make a lunch box or a room at all.
00:51:12I changed the use.
00:51:13I see.
00:51:15Magewappa, which uses Genpei material, is said to have been created to be used as a container box that can be used as a table color tray, clothing, and storage food.
00:51:30Wow, it's nice.
00:51:34In addition, Mr. Shibata wants to convey the charm of Magewappa to the world, not only in his new work.
00:51:44The exhibition will be held in Italy and the United States.
00:51:51At that time, he contacted Mr. Brennan.
00:51:56When I heard about the exhibition at Santa Fe in the United States, I thought I wouldn't be able to meet him because I was going to the United States, so I contacted him.
00:52:08The United States is a very big country, so I couldn't meet him because it was so far away.
00:52:15It's about Japan and Hong Kong.
00:52:16It's far away.
00:52:17Japan and Hong Kong?
00:52:18It's not a short distance.
00:52:21I'm a little worried about that.
00:52:23I see.
00:52:24That's a shame.
00:52:26Let's take a look at the video letter.
00:52:33How are you, Masa?
00:52:35I'm Brennan.
00:52:38Thank you so much for having me at the exhibition.
00:52:42You haven't changed.
00:52:44I think I've changed too much.
00:52:48Even on a very cold day like this, I don't wear clothes like this.
00:52:52You haven't changed too much.
00:52:55It's a Magewappa made of precious natural Akita cedar, but it's a treasure of our house.
00:53:04Matilda, bring me the Magewappa.
00:53:09It's getting bigger.
00:53:27Matilda, who was three months old at the time, grew up well.
00:53:32It's cute.
00:53:34It's similar.
00:53:35It's very similar.
00:53:36It's similar.
00:53:39It's very cute.
00:53:41My husband took care of me.
00:53:43I'm full of gratitude.
00:53:47After returning home, he told me not only about Magewappa, but also about the charm of Akita.
00:53:53In fact, something that was influenced by Akita has become the standard at our table.
00:54:02Is it Iburigakko?
00:54:04It's not Iburigakko.
00:54:05It's not Iburigakko.
00:54:07It's influenced by Akita?
00:54:08It's influenced by Akita?
00:54:11What has become the standard?
00:54:13So, the answer is this.
00:54:15It's Akita komachi rice.
00:54:17Akita komachi.
00:54:19Akita komachi.
00:54:22Akita komachi from Akita prefecture, purchased at a Japanese food store in New York.
00:54:30Shake, shake, shake.
00:54:32Matilda's favorite is to eat it with furikake.
00:54:40Good.
00:54:41Is it good?
00:54:44Are you happy?
00:54:45Yes.
00:54:48There is something I want to show Masa-san behind the house.
00:54:54What is it that he wants to show us?
00:55:02A long time ago, a barn was used as a workshop.
00:55:08Until now, he used to share a workshop with other craftsmen.
00:55:16He remodeled his barn and created his own workshop.
00:55:24Here, I'm making a Mage Whopper.
00:55:30I got this from Kanna.
00:55:32I got it sharpened.
00:55:35I also got this little planing bench, which...
00:55:40What?
00:55:43He remodeled his barn and created his own workshop.
00:55:52Wow.
00:55:56He uses it when he repeats sharpening.
00:56:03I'm confused.
00:56:05I'm lost.
00:56:06I'm lost.
00:56:07Maybe it's because it was a good Kanna.
00:56:09That's right.
00:56:10That's definitely right.
00:56:11That's right.
00:56:13In addition, he created his own tools for cutting wood.
00:56:18He also made his own corum for bending wood.
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:28He also made a large number of chisels, which are essential for making Mage Whopper.
00:56:33That's amazing.
00:56:34Are you going to make this, too?
00:56:37In the past two years, he has made more than 100 Mage Whopper.
00:56:42It's really good.
00:56:46The bark of the tree used in the Mage Whopper is similar to the cherry blossoms you can get locally.
00:56:55I gave most of them to my friends, but this is my new work.
00:57:02I used Masa's work as a reference for the design of this Kaba-toji.
00:57:09That's amazing.
00:57:10It's beautiful.
00:57:13Everything is uniform.
00:57:16The width is uniform.
00:57:17It's symmetrical.
00:57:18It's symmetrical.
00:57:19There are some small parts around the body.
00:57:23It's from the beginning.
00:57:26This is a two-stage type, and I made it after trial and error.
00:57:33The Kaba-toji is a self-made design.
00:57:36That's interesting.
00:57:37What do you think, Masa?
00:57:41I've never seen this before.
00:57:43It's like a QR code.
00:57:49The message is different.
00:57:51It's good.
00:57:52It's good.
00:57:54In addition, there is a happy report from Mr. Brendan.
00:57:59There is something special in this shop.
00:58:09It's a local art tool shop that sells paint and pens.
00:58:16What is the special thing he wants to show?
00:58:20This is it.
00:58:24Magiwappa is on the shelf.
00:58:28This is my Magiwappa, which I made as a product for the first time.
00:58:36That's amazing.
00:58:37It's like a parent and child.
00:58:41Last year, the shop owner asked me to make Magiwappa.
00:58:46I made Magiwappa with his request.
00:58:50That's amazing.
00:58:52It is sold as a limited edition with a pop drawn by Mr. Brendan.
00:59:01I made Magiwappa that can be used as a pencil case to put paint and pens at the request of the shop owner.
00:59:10That's cute.
00:59:12It seems that some of them are selling, so I'm very happy.
00:59:20What is the reputation?
00:59:22I can see the craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade.
00:59:27When I open it, I can smell the wood.
00:59:31The point is that Brendan is not making Magiwappa by himself, but actually learning from craftsmen in Japan.
00:59:49Thank you very much for teaching me a lot, Mr. Masa.
00:59:54I want to practice making Magiwappa more and improve my skills.
00:59:59Let's meet again someday in the United States or Japan.
01:00:04Thank you very much. We'll see you soon.
01:00:07I was surprised at the high level of craftsmanship.
01:00:10He continued to make Magiwappa, and I felt that he liked it.
01:00:15I'm the chairman of the Magiwappa Association, but I want to be a member of the association.
01:00:23I want to be a member of the association.
01:00:27When I invited Mr. Brendan to Japan, his skills improved before he sold Magiwappa, and he spread the charm of Magiwappa to the world.
01:00:40Next week.
01:00:41I really like Makizushi.
01:00:42I really like Makizushi.
01:00:44Australians who love Makizushi.
01:00:48The ultimate futomaki wrapped with 11 kinds of ingredients with all the balance of taste and texture.
01:00:58One piece is 700 yen.
01:01:02Go to Hokkaido, where you can only find this in your hometown.
01:01:13It's delicious.
01:01:15Next week, from 8 p.m. on the 31st.
01:01:19And from April to every Monday at 8.54 p.m.
01:01:25T-BIRD U-NEXT will support you.
