00:00:00The World Craftsman Wagon
00:00:02Repairing the world's broken things with Japanese traditional techniques
00:00:07The craftsmen of various fields that Japan is proud of have gathered
00:00:13In order to save people who are in trouble without fixing what is important, they challenge repair
00:00:19Greece, Romania, Bulgaria
00:00:23They visit three countries
00:00:25However
00:00:28The request they were waiting for was the biggest problem in the history of the program
00:00:36The craftsmen have responded to various requests in Europe with history
00:00:44The craftsmen who had such requests were the Greeks
00:00:50I want you to fix this chair
00:00:52It's broken
00:00:54I got it when I got married
00:00:56It's an important chair
00:00:58The backrest is broken
00:01:01It's broken
00:01:04A big crack in the backrest
00:01:09The crack spreads the wound
00:01:11It doesn't matter when it breaks
00:01:15I'll fix it
00:01:17It's me
00:01:19The craftsman Nobuaki Minami responds to this request
00:01:25He is a wood specialist who works with his father and grandfather to handle wood
00:01:34In order to make it longer and easier to use, he can revive any furniture by mastering the properties of wood
00:01:44What did he take out?
00:01:48What is it?
00:01:52A commercially available glue?
00:01:59He fixes it with metal fittings
00:02:04He was expecting a beautiful craftsmanship, but the client is a little confused
00:02:11However, this is where the craftsman Nobuaki Minami's hard work begins
00:02:20He started drilling a hole in the backrest
00:02:30What are you doing?
00:02:32Drilling a hole?
00:02:34There is a technique called chigiri in Japan
00:02:38I'll show you
00:02:41What is chigiri?
00:02:48The client is also confused
00:02:52Minami took out a piece of wood and started to cut it in a strange shape
00:02:59After fixing the hole in the backrest, he put the piece of wood in it
00:03:14He carefully cuts off the extra part with a saw
00:03:19He sanded the surface of the backrest
00:03:26After sanding, he applied varnish
00:03:32It's done
00:03:37This is a chair that has been used by the couple since they got married
00:03:45Chigiri
00:03:47Minami uses a traditional Japanese technique called chigiri-tsugi to fix the hole
00:03:54By putting a butterfly-shaped piece of wood in it, the crack can be prevented from spreading
00:04:00It is also an accent of the design, and it is exactly one stone and two birds
00:04:08It's perfect! It's completely fixed!
00:04:11I think I can use it for a long time, so please take good care of it
00:04:15The couple's bond will not be broken
00:04:21The next client is from the western part of Spain
00:04:25The client was guided to fix the hole in the backrest
00:04:28This is a client from Carvajal Palace
00:04:33Look at this window frame
00:04:38The wood is tattered and there is a lot of wind
00:04:44The window frame of the palace was built in the 15th century
00:04:52Because it is a place that can be seen well from the tourists who visit the city, it was a challenge to repair the exterior
00:05:03However, this is a world heritage site, so I can't change the exterior
00:05:11Can I repair it without changing the exterior?
00:05:17The person who was seriously checking was...
00:05:23Tatsuya Imai, a carpenter
00:05:28In the 33rd year of his career as a carpenter, he has been repairing things that have been said to be impossible to repair
00:05:37He has been repairing miracles
00:05:46He has been repairing miracles
00:05:52Out of the four frames, these two were out of order
00:05:59Imai left these two that can be used and added two more
00:06:10Then he noticed something
00:06:15This is all made of wood
00:06:18I didn't use a single screw
00:06:22Imai says this is a technique called Shihodo Tsukihozo, which is also found in Japan
00:06:32Imai who saw this
00:06:35I made it exactly the same way
00:06:38I made it with wood, so I think I've had it for a long time
00:06:46In order to respond to the feelings of the old craftsmen, they make the same thing and combine it
00:07:05Measure many times and then cut
00:07:11It is a precise work
00:07:20And the wood is completed
00:07:34It fits beautifully
00:07:37Next, connect the new frame and the old frame
00:07:45Will it work?
00:08:04It fits perfectly
00:08:10The broken window frame exposed to the rain and wind
00:08:19The shape remains beautiful
00:08:24The appearance of the world heritage must not be changed
00:08:30As requested by the client
00:08:35Repaired beautifully
00:08:41I think it is a repair that protects the value as a national treasure
00:08:48Thank you
00:08:55The next request is
00:08:57From Greece
00:09:01Repair of the stairs at the entrance to the museum
00:09:06Is this the state from the beginning?
00:09:08The construction has ended in the middle
00:09:11It is dangerous for small children to climb and get off
00:09:18I want you to repair the stairs at the entrance
00:09:22The first step is 40 cm
00:09:26The height difference is about 40 cm
00:09:29It is also dangerous for small children to fall and get injured
00:09:33The repair is done by a world-renowned craftsman, Masaharu Okuno
00:09:39If there is no first-class craftsmanship at the site, you can make it
00:09:43No matter how harsh the situation is, the task is carried out
00:09:49He is a professional at the site who examines the repair method that suits the site
00:09:54What Okuno is making is mortar mixed with sand, cement, and water
00:10:04Put the mortar under the stairs
00:10:11Arrange the cement blocks
00:10:16There are beautiful stairs, but why?
00:10:19Why?
00:10:23The lowest step is too high
00:10:27It seems that a big child can climb, but a small child cannot
00:10:33I thought that if I added one step, a small child could climb
00:10:37The top is covered with mortar
00:10:50The stairs that have been away from the children so far
00:10:55Another step has been added to help that step
00:11:02Let it dry for a while and move on to the finish
00:11:07While waiting for it to dry, take the children
00:11:11While waiting for it to dry, take the children
00:11:14Okuno is a professional craftsman who goes to the coast with a net
00:11:22It's not fun to finish the stairs with cement
00:11:28So I'm going to use stones from the beach
00:11:36The target was the stones from the beach
00:11:44The stones are mixed with sand and cement
00:11:49This is the finished mortar
00:11:55And the work is finally finished
00:11:59The mortar with the stones is applied to the previous mortar
00:12:05I'm going to add a little bit of glue
00:12:19Here's what I'm curious about
00:12:22It's a glass ball
00:12:25I started to drop it on the mortar I just painted
00:12:31What are you doing?
00:12:34When I went to the material store, I found this
00:12:37It's beautiful and cute
00:12:44Okuno's incomprehensible behavior again
00:12:50Please take a look
00:12:53What?
00:12:59He painted the mortar from above and hid the glass ball
00:13:05This is the skill of Okuno, a professional craftsman representing Japan
00:13:12When he confirmed that the mortar was dry
00:13:18He started to scrape the surface with a brush
00:13:24This is the finish
00:13:29Then
00:13:32The small stones picked up from the beach and the glass ball came up beautifully
00:13:39If you put the stones you want to scrape here in the cement, you can do the same
00:13:49I'll try it next time
00:13:51The stairs were too high and dangerous
00:13:57A new step is added to make it safer
00:14:02The surface is as beautiful as a beach in a movie theater
00:14:10This first step is wonderful
00:14:13Especially this stone pattern is beautiful
00:14:18It's wonderful
00:14:20Great
00:14:21It's beautiful
00:14:25Now even small children can climb easily
00:14:31The next request was
00:14:35The church in Romania
00:14:37What the craftsmen want to fix
00:14:40That is the bell hanging on the church
00:14:46This bell is already rotten
00:14:51This bell, which is exposed to the wind all year round, is attacked by snow in winter and moisture in summer
00:15:00As you can see, the tree used for reinforcement is also rotten
00:15:08The bell signaling the beginning of worship was exposed to danger
00:15:16Daiku Imai and Miyadaiku Kikuchi
00:15:19Two wood experts cooperated to repair the bell
00:15:32The two first started to break the foundation of the bell
00:15:37Only four thick pillars are left
00:15:41However
00:15:45Drill a hole in the pillar
00:15:51Then sharpen it with a chisel
00:15:54Drill a hole in the pillar as well
00:15:59Then sharpen it with a chisel
00:16:07The two made a hole about 10 cm
00:16:12What are they going to use it for?
00:16:18After that, cut a long pillar
00:16:21After that
00:16:28Insert the pillar into the hole
00:16:38This is a traditional Japanese method called Nuki-Koho
00:16:43Nuki-Koho
00:16:49It is said that the strength increases dramatically compared to reinforcing with nails
00:16:59In addition, the front is reinforced by passing the pillar diagonally
00:17:04This method is called Suji-Kai
00:17:08Suji-Kai and Nuki-Koho
00:17:11These two traditional Japanese techniques support the bell of the West
00:17:16However
00:17:21You can see that there is a small gap
00:17:25In fact, this gap was where the traditional techniques of craftsmen were hidden
00:17:32In the gap that they made on purpose
00:17:42Drill a small piece of wood
00:17:46Drill a small piece of wood
00:17:50This is called Kusabi-Tsute
00:17:52Without using nails
00:17:54It feels like it's tight
00:17:58The easiest thing to understand is Torii
00:18:01Kusabi-Tsute on the top of the Torii
00:18:04Torii is the main
00:18:08Kusabi-Tsute, a piece of wood to increase strength
00:18:13Japanese traditional techniques that have protected historical buildings from earthquakes
00:18:26All the nails have been drilled and the repair is complete
00:18:34It seems to be broken even now
00:18:38Tsugi-Ki, which was exhausted and did not fulfill its role
00:18:45Reinforced by Nuki-Koho, a traditional Japanese technique
00:18:51By drilling a hole in the pillar and passing the wood, it increases the strength
00:18:57It is further strengthened by Kusabi
00:19:01The technique used in the shrine was used in the church in Romania
00:19:10Great
00:19:12The repair is complete
00:19:15Japanese tradition and craftsmanship are wonderful
00:19:21Thank you
00:19:24And tonight
00:19:26The four craftsmen who carried the Hirumaru will get on the wagon again
00:19:35World Craftsman Wagon
00:19:44In order to save people in trouble all over the world
00:19:47Japanese craftsmen go on a journey of repair
00:19:51Craftsman Wagon Episode 8
00:19:53This time, we will visit three countries in Eastern Europe, Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania
00:20:01From the islands of the Aegean Sea, where the blue sky and the sea are colored
00:20:05To the cold village of Yamaai
00:20:08And a new journey that continues to the traditional towns that have not changed since the Middle Ages
00:20:14There were people who were in trouble because they could not repair their precious things
00:20:20Make a miracle with Japanese techniques
00:20:23Run Wagon! Good luck craftsman!
00:20:28The four craftsmen who got on the wagon are the four craftsmen who Japan is proud of
00:20:36The beginning of this journey, which will be the 8th
00:20:419400 km away from Japan
00:20:44Greece, where the world of mythology and the beautiful sea spread
00:20:49220 km south from Athens, the capital
00:20:54It is a request from Palestine floating in the Mediterranean
00:20:59Kiklades
00:21:03SOS from Kiklades, a tourist destination with white and beautiful streets and popular sunsets
00:21:22It's a real tourist destination
00:21:25It's beautiful, it's all white
00:21:28Japan is also white, there are many colors
00:21:35What kind of request is it from a world tourist destination?
00:21:54The next day
00:22:10Meet this client tomorrow
00:22:13First to a place
00:22:16To the famous store where the locals go
00:22:21I will work from tomorrow
00:22:25However, there is also a repair request here
00:22:31I visited a local favorite restaurant
00:22:38Oil sardines from local sardines
00:22:41Braised pork and beef
00:22:47If you can enjoy the taste of home, it is a famous store in the local area
00:22:55This sardine is absolutely delicious
00:22:59This is very delicious
00:23:02How does it taste?
00:23:05Very delicious
00:23:09I came here to repair from Japan
00:23:12To convey that
00:23:16Can't you repair that towel table?
00:23:20It's hard to use and I'm trying to throw it away
00:23:24I have memories from my predecessor
00:23:28But the foot hits
00:23:31I can get a little distance
00:23:38Do you want me to fix it?
00:23:40Of course
00:23:43And the next morning
00:23:50Repair of the towel table
00:23:52I went to fix the table
00:23:55Repair of the towel table from the early morning
00:24:03The first to participate in the wagon
00:24:05The furniture craftsman Toshiyuki Kawahara
00:24:0920 years of craftsmanship
00:24:11The work that took advantage of the warmth of the wood is popular
00:24:16However, he is not just a furniture craftsman
00:24:21In fact, Kawahara
00:24:23Training as a Miyadaiku for 18 to 13 years
00:24:28He was involved in the repair of various shrines, such as Heijo-kyo and Daigokuden
00:24:35I want to make various things with wood using that experience
00:24:41Now, he is a furniture craftsman who knows all the architecture of shops and houses, mainly furniture
00:24:52However, it is the first time to touch the towel table
00:24:56Then
00:25:03What did you check by tapping?
00:25:06I don't know what's stopping me
00:25:14First, disassemble the towel table
00:25:22Disassemble it without hesitation
00:25:35Disassemble the towel table
00:25:44Disassemble the towel table
00:25:49The wood itself feels strong
00:25:51It's very solid
00:25:54Did you notice?
00:25:56Kawahara, a furniture craftsman
00:25:58He came to repair it, but he didn't bring any new wood
00:26:04He says that he will remake it to a table that is easy to use with only the original wood used in the barrel
00:26:14Then, choose four pieces of wood from the disassembled barrel
00:26:34In a blink of an eye, he puts a beautiful groove in one part of the wood
00:26:39Then, he puts the bottom of the barrel on the groove
00:26:50It fits perfectly
00:26:55When all four pieces fit into the shape of the wood
00:27:00It has a strange shape
00:27:05Then, put the bottom of the barrel on the groove
00:27:17Put four pieces of wood into the groove
00:27:21Then, put the bottom of the barrel on the groove
00:27:29Put four pieces of wood into the groove
00:27:38OK
00:27:41In just three hours, the repair is complete
00:27:46He shows us the finished table
00:27:51Amazing
00:27:53Thank you
00:27:57The towel table was hard to use
00:28:01But the furniture craftsman remade it
00:28:06The next day
00:28:14He shows us the finished table
00:28:19Amazing
00:28:21Thank you
00:28:26The towel table was hard to use
00:28:30But the furniture craftsman remade it
00:28:32The four legs are firmly supported
00:28:35The shape of the legs is easy to move
00:28:38It has been reborn
00:28:45There is a table called Chabudai in Japan
00:28:50I made it with that image
00:28:52Chabudai
00:28:55Kawahara remade the Japanese Chabudai
00:29:00that many people can eat
00:29:07It took only a few hours to repair
00:29:10Japanese craftsmen are amazing
00:29:14Thank you
00:29:15This shelf is also very convenient
00:29:19There is a place to put things using the bottom of the barrel
00:29:28It is made by Kawahara's technology
00:29:35The screws are also made of wood
00:29:39Japanese craftsmen are very detailed
00:29:44It's amazing that it's so easy to use
00:29:49Chabudai is the best
00:29:52Chabudai is the best
00:29:57Kawahara meets other craftsmen
00:30:01and goes to the client
00:30:03The wind is strong
00:30:05Hello
00:30:09This is the client, Yanis
00:30:12Nice to meet you
00:30:16Welcome, Japanese craftsmen
00:30:20This is a town where people who live on the island come
00:30:27This is Paros Island
00:30:30The price is cheap compared to Santorini Island and Mykonos Island
00:30:37It is popular not only for tourists, but also for immigrants and the elderly
00:30:47There are more and more people using the town
00:30:53It's embarrassing, but it's not a kind facility for the elderly and children
00:31:02What is the problem?
00:31:07It's this slope
00:31:13There is a slope for wheelchair and baby car
00:31:17But they usually lock the door
00:31:22The person who comes knocks and the staff inside opens the door
00:31:31The main entrance is different from the slope
00:31:38The slope is not slippery
00:31:41Also, there are few staff, so they usually lock the door
00:31:47What is the situation?
00:31:50Looking at the usual situation
00:32:01The door is locked
00:32:04Please open the door
00:32:07Can I leave?
00:32:09No, you can't
00:32:15Open the door
00:32:21Come in
00:32:25Hello
00:32:27The person who is pushing the door needs to let go of the door
00:32:32It's very dangerous
00:32:36Sometimes people don't notice that I'm here
00:32:40When I let go of the door, the ground is slanted
00:32:45It's scary
00:32:47You can't open the door from the beginning
00:32:51There is a lot of strong wind on this island
00:32:54If you leave the door open, all the documents inside will be blown away
00:32:59The strong wind from the sea blows here every day
00:33:05You can't always leave the door open
00:33:09I can see that a wheelchair person has come
00:33:12Can you make it a safe slope?
00:33:16It's quite bumpy
00:33:20It's quite slippery
00:33:24The slope is safe
00:33:27What kind of answer will the craftsmen give?
00:33:35The next place is inside the building
00:33:39Let's go
00:33:45Then suddenly
00:33:47Do you know what's going on inside the building?
00:33:51Inside the room
00:33:58It looks like a room with no problems
00:34:04There are many doors, but there is only one window
00:34:13This building is over 100 years old
00:34:18There are many doors, but there is only one window
00:34:25Another window is in another room
00:34:31There is a building right next to it, so you can't use the window
00:34:39Since many people visit, it is necessary to prevent infection
00:34:46But there is only one window
00:34:50One window is enough
00:34:54The air doesn't move at all
00:34:58Since it is a facility where many elderly people come, ventilation is very important
00:35:07Can you make this suffocating room a room where even the elderly can rest assured?
00:35:17The second thing I want you to repair is a suffocating room with only one window
00:35:25In addition, there is a problem unique to the world's tourist destination
00:35:32This white wall is the characteristic of the island
00:35:35I want to keep it clean all the time
00:35:38But graffiti is a problem now
00:35:43The problem is graffiti, which is a problem in all of Greece
00:35:50Athens, a capital with many precious relics, has also changed
00:35:58Unfortunately, graffiti has increased in Palestine
00:36:04Even in this town, which can be said to be the face of the island, there is a lot of damage to graffiti
00:36:11The wall is still dirty
00:36:21The white wall is also the pride of this island
00:36:29Can't you do it?
00:36:32The craftsmen are also surprised
00:36:36What is it?
00:36:41What is graffiti?
00:36:59Even in this town, which can be said to be the face of the island, there is a lot of damage to graffiti
00:37:06The wall is still dirty
00:37:16The white wall is also the pride of this island
00:37:21Can't you do it?
00:37:29The craftsmen are also surprised
00:37:36The third thing I want you to repair is the traditional white wall of the island
00:37:43I want you to repair the wall that is no less than graffiti
00:37:50SOS, the world's tourist power
00:37:54How do Japanese craftsmen solve it?
00:38:00The first thing to repair is a slope that is not friendly to users
00:38:08The request is a safe slope that you can see when you come
00:38:18The one who challenges this difficulty is
00:38:21Miyadai-ku, Toshimitsu Kikuchi
00:38:26He has been repairing historical buildings in Japan
00:38:34It's not just about fixing broken things, but it's about passing on what the predecessors made to the next generation
00:38:40That's the job of Miyadai-ku
00:38:44Immediately start repair
00:38:56Kikuchi prepared a board for flooring
00:39:03Originally, there was a concave surface, and when the board was combined with the board, it was processed to become a flat floor
00:39:12It is said to make a slope using this
00:39:17However, Kikuchi
00:39:22If you do this, there will be a step
00:39:28By deliberately shifting and overlapping, a step is created
00:39:32When climbing, there is a sliding effect that does not fall
00:39:44Kikuchi builds a board with a familiar iron
00:39:48Actually, this way of sticking
00:39:50The technology of ancient Japan is a hint
00:40:01Yoroibari is a way of sticking boards like armor
00:40:06Because the wind is hard to enter and the rain is easy to fall down
00:40:10It is often used as an outer wall of wooden buildings
00:40:15The technique that has been used since the Edo period
00:40:18This time I applied it to the slope
00:40:24And the last thing to do is
00:40:29The place where the stone stairs meet
00:40:33Then
00:40:36Kikuchi's work
00:40:41Align the lines of the stone with the lines of the board
00:40:51I will scrape
00:40:55It's called lighting
00:40:58When you build a pillar on a natural stone
00:41:00When you want to attach a board to the wall
00:41:03When the wall is bumpy
00:41:05It's called lighting
00:41:08Lighting is a technique that Miya Daiku is good at
00:41:13Processing and installing so that the contact surface is closely attached
00:41:17It is used when placing pillars on natural stones
00:41:24The name was given because it fits perfectly so that the light does not enter
00:41:34I will scrape along the line
00:41:47Perfectly
00:41:51The slope made with Yoroibari and lighting is completed
00:41:55Completed
00:41:59It is difficult to slip by adding a step
00:42:02I finished it so that the color also fits the town
00:42:09However
00:42:14The important thing is the mechanism that lets you know that you have come inside the building
00:42:20To answer this problem
00:42:26Once again to the wood shop where the slope board was processed
00:42:37What I was looking for was a hard wood
00:42:41If you hit it with a hard wood, it will make a sound
00:42:45The sound of wood is hard
00:42:53It seems that he found a hard wood that interests him
00:42:58What is the name of the material?
00:43:00African cake
00:43:02It came from Africa
00:43:04African cake?
00:43:06It's called Africa
00:43:08This is a wood from Africa called Apa
00:43:12Although it is different from Japanese keyaki
00:43:15Because it is similar in durability and wood grain
00:43:18It seems that it is often used as a substitute for keyaki in Japan
00:43:23What to make using this
00:43:26The original shape of the old wood
00:43:31It was shaped like a voice
00:43:34I hit it to let you know the time of the time
00:43:40I thought I'd make something like that
00:43:44A safe slope that you can see that you have come
00:43:47How to use it
00:43:51The sound of wood
00:43:58In the temple of Japan
00:44:00It is called the original shape of wood
00:44:06By shaving the contents of one log
00:44:08By making a cavity and groove
00:44:10It is a mechanism that makes the sound resonate
00:44:16Using that principle
00:44:17By making a cavity in African keyaki
00:44:20It is said to aim for the resonance of sound
00:44:25It's a dull sound
00:44:30I don't think I'm doing anything
00:44:41The groove and hole provided there
00:44:48To resonate more
00:44:50Digging a groove for reference of wood
00:44:56One piece of wood
00:45:00In a complicated shape
00:45:06I think this will probably resonate
00:45:09Then it will resonate at all
00:45:18It resonates quite a bit
00:45:20I think it resonates
00:45:24If you compare the sound
00:45:40The next thing to take is
00:45:42The punishment
00:45:47Making a sphere
00:45:57I will make a sphere with only one
00:46:03Even in woodworking
00:46:05I hit a sphere
00:46:08I thought it would resonate more
00:46:12It's better to do this at one point
00:46:17The next thing to do is
00:46:24With skillful techniques
00:46:26To make a sphere
00:46:33From wood
00:46:37A wonderful round bowl was born
00:46:41What will Kikuchi make?
00:46:44What kind of slope will it be?
00:46:49It is finally revealed
00:47:00In order to knock
00:47:02A dangerous slope that you have to let go
00:47:05With Japanese armor and lighting
00:47:08It is difficult to slip and safe
00:47:12And the prototype of a wooden fish
00:47:14This device got a hint from Taipan
00:47:22How do you use it?
00:47:28There is a surprising function
00:47:31There is a surprising function
00:47:41Furthermore, after this
00:47:43The traditional wooden washing machine in Romania
00:47:45Repair
00:47:47What was waiting
00:47:49The biggest pinch in history
00:48:01I will make a sphere with only one
00:48:10In order to knock
00:48:12A dangerous slope that you have to let go
00:48:19With Japanese armor and lighting
00:48:22It is difficult to slip and safe
00:48:27And the prototype of a wooden fish
00:48:29This device got a hint from Taipan
00:48:36How do you use it?
00:48:42If you actually use it
00:48:44With Japanese armor and lighting
00:48:58What Kikuchi made
00:49:00When you step on the board
00:49:02The bowl goes down
00:49:04The mechanism to ring the board
00:49:10The hardness of the wood chosen
00:49:12The sound reverberates
00:49:17By placing it in front of the slope
00:49:19When you climb up
00:49:21The door opens
00:49:23Kikuchi's calculation
00:49:27What is the sound you hear inside?
00:49:35Compared to the original knock
00:49:37The sound is incomparable
00:49:43With this, you can enter the building without waiting
00:49:53The sound is also quite loud
00:49:58It's a leg to use
00:50:00It's a great idea
00:50:06No doubt
00:50:08It's a safe slope
00:50:10Thank you very much
00:50:12I'm glad
00:50:15The repair of the slope is completed
00:50:21The next thing to repair is
00:50:23The traditional white wall
00:50:26It is a request to the wall that does not lose to graffiti
00:50:33The white wall of this area
00:50:35In the era of ancient Greece
00:50:37It is said to have spread to prevent the strong UV rays of the Aegean Sea
00:50:45The material is
00:50:47Even in Japan, it is used as a material for the wall
00:50:49It is Shikkui
00:50:55In order to protect such a traditional white wall
00:50:58The wall that does not lose to graffiti
00:51:00Repair request
00:51:03What is the challenge?
00:51:06The first to participate in the wagon
00:51:08Top craftsman
00:51:10Tomoharu Nakamura
00:51:1322 years of craftsmanship
00:51:16A teacher who teaches traditional techniques to professional craftsmen
00:51:19Nakamura
00:51:21Pay attention to his skills
00:51:25In the past, in this program
00:51:27To make people around the world smile
00:51:29Top craftsman
00:51:31Masaharu Okuno
00:51:35He is a craftsman who is recognized by sumo wrestlers
00:51:39The wall that does not lose to graffiti
00:51:42How do you deal with this island-specific challenge?
00:51:46Immediately
00:51:48Start repair
00:51:51First of all
00:51:53The beautiful white wall of Shikkui
00:51:56First of all
00:51:58The beautiful white wall of Shikkui
00:52:03I thought so
00:52:17Traditional white wall
00:52:19Red
00:52:22What is this?
00:52:24This is a primer
00:52:26It's like a glue
00:52:29What he was painting was a glue for painting
00:52:34The material of the white wall to be painted next
00:52:36To make it easier to stick Shikkui
00:52:42After the preparation of the whole with glue
00:52:45To the process of painting Shikkui
00:52:49Then, Nakamura, who was preparing the tools
00:52:52A surprising statement
00:52:54Nakamura
00:52:57I was wondering if the tools would arrive
00:53:01I prepared about 20 tools
00:53:03I packed them
00:53:05But the tools did not arrive from Japan
00:53:08The tools did not arrive?
00:53:13Actually, when I arrived at the airport in Greece
00:53:17Shikkui
00:53:19Yes, Shikkui
00:53:21I don't mind
00:53:23But the hotel asked me to check
00:53:25I can't work
00:53:27I'm in trouble if it disappears
00:53:30It's amazing
00:53:32It's a tool that can be said to be the life of a craftsman
00:53:35It's a tool that can be said to be the life of a craftsman
00:53:37It's a tool that can be said to be the life of a craftsman
00:53:40Therefore, at the local shop
00:53:42I bought a tool that can be used
00:53:46Did you prepare about 20?
00:53:48Yes
00:53:50Do you use that many tools in Japan?
00:53:53Yes, I do
00:53:55I can use it for materials
00:53:57I can use it for finishing
00:53:59I can use it for undercoat, undercoat
00:54:01I can use it for undercoat, undercoat
00:54:02I can use it for undercoat, undercoat
00:54:04I can use it for undercoat, undercoat
00:54:05Repairing is a process of different sizes
00:54:09He challenges with only these two types
00:54:14I don't know how far I can do
00:54:18I don't use aluminum
00:54:22If you don't have a tool you like
00:54:24Cover it with your arms
00:54:26That's the Japanese craftsman
00:54:36First, on the adhesive
00:54:38Apply the undercoat
00:54:41Apply the undercoat
00:54:46It's his first time to use a Greek tool
00:54:49Will he be able to handle it well?
00:54:51He starts to work
00:55:06Then, after a few minutes
00:55:16I'm getting used to it
00:55:19He doesn't need to choose a brush
00:55:22He doesn't need to worry about a first-class craftsman
00:55:28Nakamura finishes applying the undercoat
00:55:37After the undercoat dries
00:55:40He applies the undercoat for finishing
00:55:45However
00:55:49There's a lot in there
00:56:13I'm not going to use this
00:56:16There should be fine particles in the undercoat for finishing
00:56:21But there's a lot of sand in it
00:56:27In fact, this is fatal to the graffiti wall that Nakamura is aiming for
00:56:41He can't hide his confusion
00:56:46Then
00:56:51Nakamura stops working and goes somewhere
00:57:07He's asking for something
00:57:11What did the clerk bring?
00:57:15Ah!
00:57:17This is good
00:57:19Is this a ballpoint pen?
00:57:21What is this?
00:57:23This is a fine net
00:57:25I'm going to use this to take a picture
00:57:31He's going to use the old one to finish the rough graffiti
00:57:36It's not coming off
00:57:44He removes the fine sand
00:57:54It's gotten a lot finer
00:57:58He tries painting on the wall
00:58:06He's painting on the wall
00:58:17He looks satisfied
00:58:20He's painting on the whole wall
00:58:28I'm done painting
00:58:31After he's finished painting, he starts working on the graffiti wall
00:58:38And then
00:58:50He's rubbing the hand-painted wall again
00:58:56What is this?
00:59:01There's a difficult job in Japanese graffiti
00:59:05It's called shikkui-migaki
00:59:07I'd like to get closer to that
00:59:10Shikkui-migaki is the technique of rubbing the wall to remove the roughness of the surface
00:59:16And to create a glossy wall
00:59:21It's said that you can overcome graffiti walls with this traditional technique
00:59:31He continues rubbing for two hours
00:59:42Two more hours
00:59:45He changes the hand-painted wall to a towel
00:59:53He continues working until night
01:00:01The next morning
01:00:06He's surprised
01:00:11The final touch is his own hand
01:00:17You can polish it with your hands
01:00:22It's like an angel
01:00:25You can polish it with your hands
01:00:33But Nakamura's work is not finished yet
01:00:45He's using a spoon
01:00:47He's using a spoon
01:00:53He's bending it
01:01:01And then he starts working on the polished wall
01:01:09It's really amazing
01:01:11Nakamura doesn't have his favorite tool
01:01:15He's bending the spoon to make a small handle
01:01:19He's carving on the shikkui
01:01:25What kind of wall did he repair?
01:01:32The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:01:36The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:01:41The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:01:51The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:01:58The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:02:09The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:02:15The wall of the graffiti-painting town
01:02:20It's a proof of friendship between Greece and Japan.
01:02:24Thank you very much.
01:02:29And a wall that is no less than graffiti.
01:02:32What is its secret?
01:02:35I made it smooth, so it's hard to get dirt on the wall.
01:02:41Oh, that's great.
01:02:43With this, the dirt will come off right away.
01:02:50Thank you very much.
01:02:53The wall that Nakamura polished with a brush
01:02:57is shiny and hard to get dirt on.
01:03:02It's so shiny that the surrounding scenery is reflected.
01:03:10Not only is it beautiful, but the mirror-like surface
01:03:14makes it easy for graffiti and dirt to come off.
01:03:20It's really great.
01:03:22I'm surprised.
01:03:26Thank you very much.
01:03:29The wall that is no less than graffiti has been repaired.
01:03:35The only problem is that there is only one window,
01:03:38and it's hard to ventilate the room.
01:03:43The challenger for this challenge is...
01:03:47Tatsuya Imai, a carpenter.
01:03:52In the 33rd year of his career,
01:03:54he has brought back things that were impossible to repair.
01:03:59He has come up with a variety of ideas to repair miracles.
01:04:06Then, Imai calls the client to his room and says...
01:04:12There is something strange in this room.
01:04:15Do you know what it is?
01:04:17What do you mean?
01:04:20Yes, Imai has already repaired something in this room
01:04:25to solve the problem.
01:04:28Here it is.
01:04:34Do you understand?
01:04:36Do you know what it is?
01:04:39I was told that there was a problem with ventilation,
01:04:42so I changed the lower part of the room to a window.
01:04:48To make a new window,
01:04:50large repairs such as making a hole in the wall are necessary.
01:04:55So,
01:04:57what Imai came up with was
01:05:00to use the electric door.
01:05:07He processed the lower part of the door
01:05:13and installed a window for ventilation,
01:05:16which was inspired by the snow in Japan.
01:05:24By making it slide-type,
01:05:26it can be fine-tuned even on rainy or windy days.
01:05:31This is a good idea.
01:05:40It's really wonderful.
01:05:43He also installed a window for ventilation at the other entrance.
01:05:48The air is coming in.
01:05:50The air is coming in.
01:05:52The air is coming in.
01:05:54The air is coming in.
01:05:56The air is coming in.
01:05:59The air is coming in.
01:06:02I'm so happy.
01:06:07By making two small windows,
01:06:10the air circulates.
01:06:13This is a well-considered public facility.
01:06:18With this, the air circulates,
01:06:22so everyone can live in peace.
01:06:27In addition,
01:06:29there is another role other than the circulation of air.
01:06:33The people in the wheelchair can see
01:06:36the movement of people
01:06:38coming in and out of the car with the sound.
01:06:42You even thought of that.
01:06:46Thank you very much.
01:06:51Thank you for making so many wonderful things.
01:06:57Thank you, everyone.
01:07:03With the skill of a Japanese craftsman,
01:07:06he solved all the problems of the town.
