Following the Shokunin (Shamisen Maker) + Extras (Featuring...)

I spent 2 months following a Japanese Shamisen Maker. It was an amazing experience, but it was nearly impossible to document... The Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Ic64TPJVc In this episode of the Tokyo Lens podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about having a shamisen built, and trying to document it. We get insanely sidetracked, and even meet with some other creators here in Japan!   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also... So much love to all of those of you asking how you can support Tokyo Lens! I want to be able to be in a position where I can definitely give more than I receive. So It will take some time to get a system set up. For now though, if you do any shopping on Amazon, feel free to click through from my affiliate links! Then you can support just by doing your regular shopping!
