00:00What kind of artist made the screws made from a surprising material?
00:09Hello, I'm from Niigata, my name is Chan Kawai.
00:13I came to Niigata.
00:16Hello, I'm Shinanogawa.
00:19What kind of artist made the screws made from a surprising material?
00:23I'm looking forward to it. Let's go.
00:26Oh, it's him.
00:29Hello.
00:30Hello.
00:31My name is Chan Kawai. Nice to meet you.
00:34Nice to meet you. I'm Shiroi.
00:36This time, Shiroi is the artist to break the mold.
00:41So, you work in Niigata, right?
00:45Yes, I do. I eat delicious rice.
00:48That's Niigata.
00:51Let's go to his home to see what he has made so far.
00:57Excuse me.
01:00This is the workbench.
01:03It's surprisingly compact.
01:05What is he making in this room?
01:09Then...
01:11Here it is.
01:14This?
01:16It's a pencil.
01:21What?
01:24I thought it was a pencil.
01:27The tip is different.
01:29It's amazing.
01:31The tip of the pencil has a clip.
01:35He cut the clip.
01:37And if you look closely...
01:41It's small.
01:43It's attached.
01:45He carved the tip and sculpted it.
01:48How long does it take?
01:50He carved a 4mm pencil tip and made a clip.
01:55He carved it.
01:57It's amazing.
01:59It's smaller than the real thing.
02:03As you can see...
02:06Shiroi is a very precise pencil sculptor.
02:13He has other amazing works.
02:17Let's take a look.
02:19Do you wrap the clip?
02:22Yes.
02:23I'm afraid of the impact.
02:26So I wrap it in a case.
02:29This case is the easiest to break.
02:34Can you break it?
02:37I'm nervous.
02:40What's on the tip of the pencil?
02:44It's amazing.
02:46It's nostalgic.
02:48It's a crayon.
02:50It's amazing.
02:53It's amazing.
02:55He made it beautifully.
02:57It's realistic.
02:59It's eye-mode.
03:02It's nostalgic.
03:04It's cute.
03:05It's amazing.
03:07It's a button.
03:10It's amazing.
03:13It's amazing.
03:15It's detailed.
03:17It's like a puzzle.
03:19He made it smooth.
03:22It's amazing.
03:24And...
03:30His face.
03:31That's amazing.
03:33How did he carve it?
03:35He made a groove for me to sit on.
03:42It's comfortable to sit on.
03:45That's right.
03:47He carved a lot of grooves.
03:51It looks like a screw.
03:53All of his works are unique and successful.
03:59This is one of them.
04:02You can do it with a colored pencil.
04:05It's amazing.
04:06It's cute.
04:07It's amazing.
04:09It's a colored pencil.
04:11It's very detailed.
04:13It's like a budo.
04:15It's cute.
04:17It's a very detailed pencil sculpture.
04:20How did he make it?
04:23It's a pencil.
04:25I will work on this.
04:27It's amazing.
04:29It's like a microscope.
04:31That's right.
04:32I work on this with a microscope.
04:36It's amazing.
04:38What is a pencil?
04:40This is a pencil.
04:42This?
04:43Yes.
04:44There are many kinds.
04:46The thickness of the pencil changes.
04:50The world changes by 1mm.
04:55He uses a pencil depending on the size of the work.
04:59The thickness of the pencil is 4mm.
05:02This time, he will make this Japanese sword.
05:06It's hard.
05:07I put a miniature next to it.
05:10I make it while looking at it.
05:13How many times is this a microscope?
05:17It's about 7 times now.
05:19It's 7 times.
05:23I will start.
05:25First.
05:26This is a core.
05:29The key is not to damage the core.
05:33Core.
05:35First, he removes the core of the pencil with a cutter.
05:41It's difficult at this stage.
05:43It's a lot.
05:46It's fine.
05:48It's hard.
05:502cm.
05:52Next, he got this.
05:56This is a 0.05mm line.
05:59What is that?
06:00This is a pen.
06:02Is it written?
06:03It's written.
06:06He writes with a very fine pen.
06:13From here, he will make a pencil sharpener.
06:21What is this?
06:22This is a needle.
06:23Is this a needle?
06:25He took out a needle for sewing.
06:28It's for sewing.
06:31He is making a groove.
06:34He is carving.
06:36I can see it on the screen.
06:38He is carving.
06:41He carefully scrapes the 4mm wide core.
06:50What are the tips for this?
06:55The left hand is important.
06:58He is carving with his right hand.
07:01He is putting his left finger on the core.
07:05He is measuring how hard he can carve.
07:11It's important not to break it.
07:14He is adjusting the pressure with his left hand.
07:19He is carving without breaking it.
07:23This is a new case.
07:26This is a paper file.
07:33He is using a paper file to make the core thinner.
07:40This is amazing.
07:42He is serious.
07:43He is making a curve.
07:48This is a mechanical pencil.
07:51He is using a 0.3mm mechanical pencil.
07:58Is this a mechanical pencil?
08:01He is using a 0.3mm mechanical pencil.
08:07He is making a smooth curve.
08:10This is amazing.
08:12He is making a smooth curve.
08:14This is amazing.
08:17This is 2mm wide.
08:19This is 2mm wide.
08:22This is 1mm wide.
08:24This is amazing.
08:27He is increasing the ratio of the microscope.
08:30He is making a microscope.
08:34This is impossible.
08:41This is amazing.
08:43This is detailed.
08:45I don't know what I'm doing with my hands.
08:49This is amazing.
08:51He is making a Japanese sword.
08:58This is impossible.
09:00I was counting.
09:03I was counting in a world of 15 times.
09:08He is making a line with a needle.
09:12He is making a line with a needle.
09:21If you make a mistake, it will break in an instant.
09:27He is concentrating and making a line.
09:35This is amazing.
09:36This is a world of 0.3mm.
09:41He is making a Japanese sword.
09:43This is beautiful.
09:45He is cutting out the tip of the sword.
09:48He is completing it.
09:51I'm sorry.
09:53This is amazing.
09:57This is amazing.
09:59This is amazing.
10:03He is making a Japanese sword.
10:06This is amazing.
10:08This is a sword.
10:10This is cool.
10:13I was impressed when I was able to make this.
10:17This is a sense of accomplishment.
10:19It's fun when you can make it.
10:24How long have you been doing this?
10:27I started about 9 years ago.
10:30How did you start?
10:32I saw a person who was sculpting with a pencil on TV news.
10:36I wanted to try it myself.
10:38That's amazing.
10:40I continued for 9 years.
10:43Mr. Shirai started sculpting with a pencil when he happened to see it on TV.
10:49He was originally good at making plastic models.
10:55Currently, he is presenting his work at an exhibition or SNS at the pace of one work per month.
11:03His super-precise pencil sculpting has become a hot topic.
11:09It's unique.
11:11Among the more than 200 works that Mr. Shirai has made,
11:15he was especially popular on SNS.
11:18He announced his best 3 pencil sculptures.
11:24First is No. 3.
11:26It's a very familiar name in Tokyo.
11:31This is it.
11:34What is this?
11:38This is amazing.
11:42This is amazing.
11:46It's very detailed.
11:50It's amazing.
11:51It's well-balanced.
11:53It's amazing.
11:55Tokyo Sky Tree was made with a size of about 1 in 17,000.
12:02It took 27 hours to carve out the structure.
12:07It's amazing.
12:08Furthermore,
12:10I make it from the antenna at the tip.
12:12Do you make it from here?
12:14If it hits the antenna even a little, it will break.
12:19I couldn't get out of it from the beginning to the end.
12:22So I kept it.
12:23It's amazing.
12:25Next is No. 2.
12:27It's a super-precise work that makes you feel super-precise.
12:32This is it.
12:35What does this mean?
12:39Actually, this is it.
12:41Really?
12:43The core of the mechanical pencil comes out of the pencil.
12:48It's interesting.
12:50He is a genius.
12:51The core of the mechanical pencil is extremely thin.
12:54It's an amazing work.
12:57The core of the mechanical pencil is 0.3 mm.
13:00It is the same as the real thing and is 6 cm long.
13:04It's a technique that makes you feel super-precise.
13:07It's interesting.
13:09How did you draw this straight line?
13:12It's fine-tuning with a paper file.
13:15I see.
13:17It's like training.
13:20And No. 1.
13:22It's the ultimate pencil sculpture that can't be made anymore.
13:27This is it.
13:31Really?
13:33How did you do it?
13:35It's connected.
13:37It's a chain.
13:38I used 40 chains to carve the space between the pencils.
13:44What does that mean?
13:47He carved the core of the pencil like a chain.
13:53That's amazing.
13:55Can you do that?
13:57Do you know what this means?
14:02Actually, he didn't connect the chains one by one.
14:08He carved the chains connected from one core.
14:13There are 40 of them.
14:17Of course, it's a chain, so you can move it like this.
14:24If you do that, it will break.
14:27I'm scared.
14:28From the 30th one, I was so scared that my hands were shaking.
14:34I see.
14:35If it breaks here, the 30th one will be a bubble of water.
14:40You're proud of yourself.
14:42Yes, I'm proud of myself.
14:48And this time, he made a special pencil sculpture just for that.
14:55This is a very difficult work.
15:02How long did it take you to make it?
15:05It took me about a month.
15:09A month?
15:10Yes.
15:11It's one of the most difficult works he's ever made.
15:17What kind of work did he make?
15:21We have Mr. Shiroi, a pencil sculptor.
15:25Nice to meet you.
15:28What are you doing?
15:31You're happy when people are surprised, right?
15:34Yes, I am.
15:35You're happy when people are satisfied, right?
15:37Yes, I am.
15:38Let me show you what he made in a month.
15:45Here it is.
15:46What is this?
15:47Mr. Tokoro, please take a look at what is carved on this loupe.
15:52He carved the name of the program.
15:55What is this?
15:56He carved the name of the program.
15:58Mr. Tokoro.
15:59Mr. Tokoro.
16:01Look at this.
16:02It's amazing.
16:04It was carved from October to Friday night at 8 o'clock.
16:09It's amazing.
16:10It was carved.
16:12It's a beautiful logo.
16:14It's amazing.
16:15It's three-dimensional and cool.
16:18It's amazing.
16:19It's connected well.
16:20It's a pencil, so it's metallic and cool.
16:23Yes, it is.
16:24It's amazing.
16:25What was the most difficult part when you were carving this?
16:30In terms of letters, it's between Tokoro's TO and KO.
16:36It's delicate.
16:37In terms of letters, it's between Tokoro's TO and KO.
16:42In terms of letters, it's between Tokoro's TO and KO.
16:47It's between Tokoro's TO and KO.
16:49It's amazing.
16:51It's amazing, but I don't feel like doing it.
16:54I think it's interesting, but I don't think it's interesting.
16:58It took a long time to make this.
17:00FUJIKI was moving his hand while looking at it.
17:03I want to try it.
17:05Really?
17:06It's different.
17:07Please do it.
