It is very sad that some of the very old skills are in such danger. I've seen this before, however it must make your teachers very happy that you are there to pass on these traditions.
I love your interview. I found a good video that showed how authentic Kanzashi is done. I plan on making some to sell. I love Geisha culture and love Japanese art forms. Im so glad that people like you are keeping it alive. I hate this "modern" sewing technique that people are doing. I think using rice paste makes it look traditional and beautiful. I hope you have many people follow in your footsteps and that more Geisha pop up in Japan. I hope you continue to inspire us with your great artwork!
I have to admit- your kanzashi are just impeccable! You done so much to uphold the traditions of your culture for both Kanzashi and Kistuke. I hope one day I may be able to own one of your hana kanzashi since they are breathtaking. I do enjoy making them myself, but I have not been trained and I can see the difference, that's for sure.
I give you my respect, sempai (I hope that would be the right thing to say),
Thank you so much for posting this. It is very educational and interesting. I am an American who enjoys learning about other cultures and I enjoyed your discourse on leaning more about the traditions of your native culture. I am sorry to hear that some traditions are in danger of being lost. I hope more young Japanese follow your example and preserve them. I have seen some of your other videos as well and greatly enjoyed them. I look forward to more of your videos.
if only such classes were available to me- i would like to persue a career in kimono making, yuzen, shibori, etc.- I hold such high respect for you, tsumami kanzashi are the most elegant of all hair ornaments- thank you for carrying on such tradition! Live a long, healthy life, Kuniko!
You , Japanese people, are challenging the nature , this is almost impossible...I have a great respect and admiration for the Japanese history and arts - only mentioning the "Katana" and "Wakizashi" creation ( I am a male person ) and fabrication .I have all the reasons to mark 5 stars , with simpathy ..

I did not quite understand what you meant by "Japanese people are *challenging* the nature, this is almost impossible", but I appreciate you have a great respect and admiration for the Japanese history and arts.
That is why I was using the word "challenge", because of your abilityes in reproducing all kind of flowers and nature, in general ..It is obvious that is "almost" impossible ...
Congratulations for your art !!And for the Interview, of course. Your beautiful look and the soft and equal voice you are using to explain your trade makes a strong impression on me , and gives me an internal peace I've lost 5 days ago...Thank you for this...
I also really like this interview. I love the culture and am happy to be married to a Japanese person. It's wonderful that people are learning about and continuing with and furthering elements of traditional culture and I hope to take my own part in this, but I am so very glad that as a whole it is NOT still alive fully and flourishing as it was back 'then'.
I am glad to know that you love Japanese culture and are happy to be married to a Japanese person. When you get a chance, as you hoped, please take your own part in continuing and furthering elements of traditional culture.
i really like this interview, it's very inspiring. i love the culture and i wish i was fully Japanese. i wish the whole traditional Japanese culture was still alive fully and flourished as it was back then.
you are really sweet, it is true that not that many young japanese poelpe about their tradtion properly. I've taken a keen interest in the aspects of Kabuki, and i have found some japanese people my age and haven't heard much about it.
i just wish i was japanese very much.
good luck and i will support you every step of the way.

I really do not know if I have a beautiful look, but I am glad you probably felt my inner beauty(*simile*).
I am a little worried what made you to lose an internal peace five days ago, but I am happy to know that this video gave you an internal peace.
