Video about Nobuyuki Kobayashi

Yeah, I just have a bias for non-electronic photography.

Besides, a scanner is not yubi.

Thanks for sharing! Amazing..so meticulous.

Correction. It's yuubi (ゆうび), which means grace. 　yubi (ゆび) means finger(s)
There is nothing wrong with a hybrid approach. It presents more options to the artist.

[William Whitaker]

Thanks for the clarification. It was 'fingers' in the video...

Sometime back I bought Light "Goyu" Kozo paper from B&S but when I went to print it fell apart in the wash and used heavier papers. This excellent video has inspired me to try again. My alternative printing techniques have improved considerable since then and from watching how the paper is handled in the development and wash stages I think that I may now be able to process the paper keeping it in one piece. And the paper has aged a couple of years since I got it. Something in the video, though, about treating the paper with something to strengthen it.

He said he used some kind of "resin" but may be Andrew O'Neill can tell us.

When I was in Japan last, I asked my native friend what's the pronunciation difference between sake the fish and sake the drink. He said something-something for one, and then something-something for the others, and then scratched the back of his head and said, "but may be it's the other way" :-)

I tend not to get "religious" about techniques and process. Whatever one does is fine. I will do what I think is best for me, and learn all I can on that path. What others prefer for themselves are their own choices.

Well, at least you recognize your bias and admit it!

I'm both very aware and open about it. Everyone is free to choose what floats their boat.

The video shows a brilliant marriage of the old and the new, it just doesn't jive for me. It's like that sesame st song: One of these things just doesn't belong here, One of these things just isn't the same.
For me, after the LF photography and hand made paper, that thing, is the scanner.
But that's just me. YMMV

But that's just me.

It's not just you.
