Tim's Japanese Folk Toy
Published on Jan 19, 2017 Grand Illusions
"Tim loves visiting Japan, and one of the reasons is a toy shop called Tokyu Hands, which has 3 or 4 branches in Tokyo. They sell all sorts of wonderful toys, many of which you cannot find outside Japan.
Tim bought this folk toy back in 2001. It just seems like a bunch of sticks, but you can do some amazing tricks with it. Tim admits he has not mastered them all yet! Tim thinks it is called a Nankin Mat No 2."

Chopsticks: Chinese VS. Japanese VS. Korean
Published on Dec 2, 2016 Strictly Dumpling
"Chopsticks can be difficult to learn to use. Some countries in Asia have specific types of chopsticks and specific etiquette on how to use them. Many people don't notice the difference between types of chopsticks, so today I will be comparing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean chopsticks."

Amazing Japanese gold leaf decoration technique
Published on Dec 14, 2016 BoredPandaArt
"The city of Kanazawa produces about 99% of Japan's gold leaves and the traditional methods are still widely used there. People beat gold into extremely thin sheets, so thin that it will disappear if you rub it with your fingers. The thinned gold leaves are then used for handicrafts, such as vessels and ornaments, or decoration. In some cases, chefs even use it as an ingredient for various types of foods!

Published on Dec 14, 2016 Storyful
"Crowds descending on the Tokyo subway during rush hour is so common, this passenger doesn't even react as the subway pushers on duty shove him into the train. Italian photographer Marco Patella captured this video of the chaotic scene, which may make you feel better about your own commute."

KUMANO - 熊野
KUMANO - 熊野 from Mathieu Le Lay on Vimeo.
"Kumano is a region in Japan where Shugendo, the Way of ascetic training and testing in holy mountains, has been practised for over a thousand years. This entire short film was shot there. It shows Yamabushi monk Kosho Tateishi, a Master and Teacher of Shugendo, during prayer rituals performed in the wild and at his temple. In his spiritual practices, Kosho is in visceral contact with the elements (earth, water, fire, wind) and in fusion with sacred Nature. The experience of Life through the physical senses awakes our consciousness and ultimately leads to enlightenment in this very body.
Made possible thanks to the great help of Alena Eckelmann, Kosho Tateishi, Fukami Uzawa, Mark Patrick McGuire, Jean-Marc Abela, Jean Burgert. Thank you Alena for recommending me some of the greatest spots to explore in Kumano, especially some amazing trails of the Kumano Kodō. Thank you Kosho for welcoming me at Sangakurin and for sharing your way of living during my stay.
I also want to send a very special thanks to the talented composer Oliver Dowie who created the original soundtrack by wonderfully mixing together some traditional prayers, chantings and instruments recorded on site like the Horagai, a large conch shell used by Yamabushi for spiritual meanings.
I hope to be back in Kumano next year to shoot a feature length film on the same topic.
