The Art of Yosegi-zaiku
In his workshop in Hakone, Japan, a master craftsman shows us the art of Yosegi-zaiku. You really should watch the video before you read the Wikipedia article on it, because you'll enjoy discovering what it's all about as he goes through the process. Also, the video itself is beautiful and soothing, with lovely music. If you spot any finished Yosegi-zaiku products in a shop, or maybe in a friend’s home, you’ll be glad you can explain what goes into it. (via reddit)

Wow.
Oh yes, I love seeing fine works of marquetry. I've heard it described (quite accurately, I think) as quilting for men.
Beautiful work. I envy his skill and also ability to sit like that :P
When he began to plane out the paper-thin strips I gasped. I didn't expect that was where it was going.
