After watching a edited comedy cut of this series on YouTube (and laughing so hard at their mishaps), I decided to give this series a try. OMG, not only is it amazing in the high level craftsmanship to become a Master that is necessary for keeping their culture alive, this series explains and shows how and why these crafts are important to maintain in today’s world. So you get history of the country’s assets and the hard work that many ordinary citizens, who are truly Masters, dedicate their livelihood in helping to continue their skilled trade. The cinematography of each area is truly beautiful. While the banter between the three hosts provide a nice, easy and comical balance. This is one of the best reality programs.
