Japan's Only Glass Fishing Floats Preserving Tradition in a Coastal Town
Glass fishing floats, once used in herring fishing and other North Pacific fisheries, were essential tools in bustling fishing grounds. These transparent floats, blending seamlessly into the ocean, gradually gave way to plastic buoys as times changed. However, the glass floats played a significant role in the development of Otaru's glass industry. Today, the craft of making glass fishing floats is preserved by a single artisan at Japan's only remaining workshop dedicated to this traditional art. ：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：：： As the birthrate declines and the population ages, there are an increasing number of cases in which craftsmen and small and medium-sized enterprises that have supported Japanese culture are forced to close down because they are unable to pass on their legacy due to problems such as a lack of successors. Focusing on the social issue of business succession that Japan faces, we will introduce RarePros (rare professionals) who are still working hard to preserve Japanese culture and tradition. #RarePro Japan #Glass fishing floats #Glass blower #Glass Crafts #Hokkaido #Fishing gear #ProductionSchedule #Ultimate #Technique #Tradition #Japanese Culture #TAKUMI #Process #High quality #BGM #ASMR 【video chapte】 00:00 Abstracts 00:35 Production Process of Glass Floating Balls①Melting of glass 01:04 Production Process of Glass Floating Ball②Putting glass on a pole 01:51 Production Process of Glass Floating Ball③Smooth surface with ”Rin” 03:31 Production Process of Glass Floating Ball④Blowing Glass 07:35 Production Process of Glass Floating Ball⑤Cooling 08:00 Production Process of Glassware①Melting of glass/Putting glass on a pole 10:25 Production Process of Glassware②Mold blowing 10:57 Production Process of Glassware③Create an indentation in the glass 11:37 Production Process of Glassware④Replacing the pole 12:28 Production Process of Glassware⑤Make an opening in the glass 13:40 Production Process of Glassware⑥Finish up/Make an engraving 【Photography cooperation】 Company name：Asahara Glass Manufacturing LLC Adress：1-13-20 Tenjin, Otaru-shi, Hokkaido TEL：0134-25-1415 HP : https://asaharaglass.com/
