Tom Brown Michio meets a sheet metal artisan, a "Contemporary Master Craftsman" with 35 years of experience, who can create various items like bells, pots, and cups by hammering a single flat copper sheet. Michio observes the process of making a lampshade from a 1.5mm thick copper sheet and is impressed by the craftsman's skills, but ends up bending the copper sheet himself. The program explores the reasons behind the craftsman's dedication to his work despite the difficulties involved. Comedians Bakarhythm, Kyohei Niki, and Hiroaki Terada provide their insights and answers to the question of why the craftsman continues to hammer copper plates for 35 years. The show aims to preserve the skills of artisans as a part of the country's culture. #JapaneseCraftsmanship #ContemporaryMasterCraftsman #SheetMetalArtisan #PreservingTraditionalSkills #JapaneseCulture #ArtisanalSkills #CraftsmanshipMatters #TraditionalJapaneseCrafts
